The Cristalino Añejo Tequila

PADRE AZUL, the premium tequila brand, serves the finest quality: the new „Padre Azul Cristalino Añejo Tequila“, limited to 1,000 bottles, is a co-production with Swarovski, who have created a unique skull with an engraved number for each bottle. This special edition is a project by the tequila aficionado, PADRE AZUL co-owner and Swarovski partner Georg Weis.

The bottle itself was designed for the special edition with the crystalline skull by the Mexican design label „Prison Art“. In Mexico City, this organization helps former prisoners reintegrate into a normal life through creative artwork. Part of the proceeds of the PADRE AZUL Special Edition will be donated to „Prison Art“.

1,000 uniquely numbered and crafted bottles

The limited edition „Cristalino Añejo Tequila“ will be available from November exclusively at the Käfer headquarters in Munich, the KaDeWe in Berlin and Merkur Hoher Markt in Vienna, as well as via Padre Azul.

An ideal gift for tequila aficionados, once the bottle is empty, it remains a precious designer item.

But that means acting fast, because only 90 of the 1000 bottles are available in Germany & Austria.

Cost: 1000€ per bottle.

Qué Padre – Padre azul Tequila

described by OldLiquors Magazine

Tequila Silver
Clear, transparent tequila. Bottled directly after distillation, accounting for its clear color and taste of fresh agave. Very smooth and mild flavor.

Tequila Reposado
After distillation, this tequila is stored in oak barrels for at least eight months. Classic, pale yellow color, and with a complex taste: Slight vanilla flavor, very distinctive & pleasant aftertaste.

Tequila Añejo
After distillation, stored in oak barrels for at least 18 months. Añejo is golden in color and captivates with its complex, yet smooth taste: Subtle hints of vanilla, chocolate, dried fruit, and cinnamon.

…at the end of last year, it was “Que Padre” for the young company when it entered the US market. After conquering the party capitals of Europe, including luxury locations such as Ibiza and Monte Carlo, Miami was the only logical starting point for their American invasion.

“The reactions to our brand here were truly incredible. Everyone has been waiting for something new, and that’s exactly what Padre Azul is: we offer a spectacular product that not only looks great but also tastes fantastic! ” HP Eder claims confidently. They already found a reliable importer with Parkstreet, and the search for distributors continues. “We have ambitious goals, but we are confident that we can enchant the US with Padre Azul.”

TM: How do you recommend drinking Padre Azul?

HP : For silver, we recommend first chilling to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, then letting it air out in the glass for about 20 minutes to get the most flavors and aromas. Reposado, enjoy at around 64 degrees Fahrenheit and let it air out in the glass for about 20 minutes. And añejo the same, but chill to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

TM: You age your añejo longer than usual. Why and how long?

HP : It is aged for 18 months. This is because it gets smoother the longer it’s in the barrel and also can extract more flavors like coffee, burned caramel, caramelized nuts, and dried fruits.

TM: Many people associate tequila with cheap brands and cringe-worthy aftertastes. Is there a luxury tequila revolution taking place?

HP : I had the same experience. I wasn’t familiar with such a high-quality tequila when I first visited Mexico. Certain brands destroyed the reputation of tequila completely and that’s why we started our endeavor —to be a part of the tequila revolution! We are discovering the true value of tequila as a luxury spirit and we are bringing our product around the world. I truly believe luxury tequila is the next big thing in the spirits business … Which other spirit do you know of where the original plant grows for eight years?
