Made by third generation master tequila makers from the finest Jalisco Highlands Blue Agave El Cristiano Ultra-Premium Tequila offers exceptional quality and taste, uses sustainable practices, is free of additives, and gluten-free.
El Cristiano is dedicated to producing the purist tequila with no additives. According to the founding team at El Cristiano:
“85% of all tequila brands add either sugar, flavor, and color, or all these elements, to make their tequila taste better to the customer. Our traditional process is one that has been perfected over generations with zero additives and absolutely no compromise or shortcut, with a commitment to sustainable agriculture. We are confident that our differentiation process will resonate clearly to the consumer both in taste and quality.”
With a high focus on harvesting only mature agave aged at least five years and certain sizing through sustainable agriculture practices, they have eliminated the need for additives which would change the true essence of 100% Highlands Blue Weber Agave.
Created at the Casa Tequilera Aceves. Nom 1499, their foundation, and premium flavor profiles, ranging from Silver, Reposado and Anejo to Aged Anejo, Extra Aged Anejos and Extra Aged Reposados, El Cristiano also introduces an entirely new flavor category with their 11-month barrel aged Extra Reposado and unique ulta-premium 8-year aged Anejo. Using a distillation method of traditional distill pots with copper, and aging in American Oak barrels, their tequila is always additive-free and gluten-free, using sustainable practices.
“We believe the premium tequila drinker has been searching for ultra-aged options that hold true varietal characteristics of the blue agave grown in the Jalisco region without additives. Being sourced from the finest Jalisco Highlands, and through our proprietary distillation and aging processes, giving our tequila delicious and pure taste, without sacrificing the quality and ingredients,” explains the founding team for El Cristiano.
“Familia El Cristiano.” Conceived by an intimate group of friends with a passion for tequila and Mexico, the creators behind El Cristiano have over four decades of combined experience in the tequila industry. With their experience in collaboration with agave and tequila masters, they set on a journey to create a world-class tequila beyond anything else currently offered.
Driven to create the most delicious tequila possible, their focus is also to give back to the communities El Cristiano derives from. The communities that enable this delicious tasting tequila. Their focus with the brand is to give back to those less fortunate in these communities — the children of Arandas and the Jalisco Highlands. A percentage of every bottle is donated toward the Arandas’ orphanage, public school system and local soccer club.
