Luxury Tequila brand El Cristiano, who just rolled out 50 billboards across Las Vegas, featured their award-winning Ultra Premium Silver varietal for festival attendees, while also sampling their 3-year aged Anejo, El Cristiano Black, for guests in attendance.
El Cristiano, Ultra Premium Award-Winning Tequila, was born in Jalisco, Mexico. and features the finest Jalisco Highlands Blue Weber Aged Agave, Offering Exceptional Quality and Taste, Sustainable, Free of Additives, and Gluten-Free.
Highlighted at the event was their signature Silver Tequila.
El Cristiano Silver, its foundation, boasts unrivaled complexity and depth with coil copper stills imparting a pure, clean taste and full mouth roundness. A full body with bright, silver hues and defined legs. Subtly sweet cooked agave aromas with hints of butter, notes of mature fruit, and spicy hints of Bay Leaf and Rosemary.
El Cristiano is dedicated to producing the purist tequila with no additives – (85% of tequila today has sugars and thickeners added) – with a high focus on harvesting only mature agave aged at least five years and certain sizing through sustainable agriculture practices. By establishing this process, they have eliminated the need for additives which would change the true essence of 100% Highlands Blue Weber Agave.
“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.
El Cristiano has already developed a loyal following amongst top, well-respected Vegas-based restaurants and hotels, as well as nationally and globally respected retailers and dining establishments. In Vegas, it is available at Total Wines & Spirit, as well as Wally’s at Resorts World, Hell’s Kitchen, and many other locations.
