This is a cristalino: an aged tequila that's filtered until the color is gone. The idea is to keep the barrel character and lose the amber. Flecha Azul starts with an añejo, meaning tequila aged at least a year in oak. Theirs goes 18 months in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, then gets filtered three times. They don't say what it's filtered through.
The agave comes from the Tequila Valley, the lowlands around the town of Tequila, where Flecha Azul says the plants grow for six to eight years before harvest. The label says they're harvested by hand. The piñas (the agave hearts) cook for 24 hours in masonry ovens, the slow, traditional method, then cool for another 24. After that comes fermentation in open-air tanks with the distillery's own yeast strain, and two runs through copper pot stills. It's made at NOM 1110, the Orendain distillery.
Master distiller Lorena Diaz oversees the aging. Flecha Azul points out that "of the nearly 152 distillers in Tequila, only 12 are women."
The brand was co-founded by PGA Tour golfer Abraham Ancer and entrepreneur Aron Marquez, and Ancer's signature is on the label. Flecha Azul suggests it neat or on the rocks. We'd start neat.

What is a cristalino?
An aged tequila that's been filtered until it runs clear. Flecha Azul ages this one 18 months as an añejo, then filters it three times. It looks like a blanco and drinks like something that's spent time in a barrel.
What does NOM 1110 mean?
Every tequila distillery has a NOM, a number Mexico assigns so you can tell where a bottle was actually made. NOM 1110 is Tequila Orendain, where Flecha Azul is distilled.
Whose signature is on the label?
Abraham Ancer's. He's the PGA Tour golfer who co-founded the brand with Aron Marquez.
