🦋 Butterfly Cannon Silver Cristalino is a Mexican tequila made from 100% agave, presented here in a 500 ml bottle at 40% ABV. The clear spirit and sculpted turquoise-and-black stopper give this expression a distinctive appearance. It is produced in Tequila, Jalisco, by Destiladora del Valle de Tequila, identified on the bottle by NOM 1438. The name Silver Cristalino is important: this is the clear tequila in the Butterfly Cannon range, rather than one of the brand’s coloured expressions.
🌵 The producer describes a sequence of hand harvesting, cooking in traditional steam ovens, mashing, fermentation and distillation. The spirit spends up to 30 days in barrels before charcoal filtration restores its transparent appearance. This is a brief barrel rest, not a statement of long maturation. Its clear colour should therefore be understood alongside the stated production method, rather than treated as proof that it never touched wood. The bottle’s 100% agave designation identifies the spirit’s agave basis; it does not establish an independently certified additive-free claim.
🍋 Butterfly Cannon Silver - The tasting direction brings agave together with citrus, light vanilla and pepper. Best Tasting Spirits’ review of this exact Silver Cristalino expression awarded it 92 points and Gold in March 2022. This is the reviewer’s dated distinction, not an award from an international spirits competition and not a separate assessment of the individual bottle offered here. The notes provide a useful guide, although perceived aroma and flavour will vary with serving temperature, glassware and personal taste.
🍸 For a first taste Butterfly Cannon Silver, pour a small measure neat or over a single large ice cube. As a serving suggestion, try it in a Margarita with fresh lime, or explore the brand’s watermelon-and-basil variation. Add mixers gradually so the tequila remains noticeable. Grilled fish or lightly seasoned tacos are possible food pairings, offered as ideas rather than ingredients or manufacturer specifications. Close the stopper securely after use, store away from direct sunlight, and enjoy responsibly.
