Avion Tequila was launched in 2009 by Ken Austin, a tequila enthusiast and entrepreneur, along with Jenna Fagnan, and celebrity rapper Jeezy, who also played a significant role in promoting the brand. The brand gained significant popularity and cultural cachet in part due to its feature on the HBO series "Entourage," where it was fictionally portrayed as a project of one of the characters.
Avión Reserva Cristalino offers a harmonious balance of aged complexity and agave brightness. On the nose, it presents primary notes of oak, vanilla, caramel, and warm spices like cinnamon, complemented by hints of minerality, lime zest, and fresh agave. The palate is creamy, featuring notes of vanilla, pecans, roasted agave, and pineapple, with bright undertones of fresh herbs and minerality. The finish is full-bodied and smooth, highlighting oak, caramel, and earthy tones.
