Distiller Notes
Kevin Hart’s Cristalino: Matured in Eastern European oak barrels, finished in California wine casks & slow-filtered for unparalleled smoothness. Crystal-clear with platinum hues. Aromas of cooked agave, ripened stone fruit and oak. Flavors of vanilla bean, dark berries and light spice. Oak-laced, long and a balanced finish.
Tequila Reposado refers to Tequilas that have been ‘rested’, or aged, in oak barrels for a minimum of two months but not more than one year. Depending on the specific flavors a tequilero wishes to impart on the spirit, a variety of different barrels may be used, from Brandy and Bourbon, to Wine and Sherry. The time spent on the wood allows Reposado Tequilas to mellow as they age, softening and rounding powerful flavor components brought by the agave and marrying them to subtle notes of caramel and vanilla brought by the barrel itself.
