Global spirits company Casa Lumbre announced the debut of its Contraluz Cristalino Mezcal in the U.S.

In 2016 Casa Lumbre unveiled the first application of the cristalino process – never before used in the mezcal category – and until now, this new chapter in the rapidly evolving agave spirits category was only available in Mexico.

Contraluz Cristalino Mezcal is made from cultivated Espadín agave and is matured for approximately six months in charred American oak barrels sourced from U.S. whiskey producers. The crafted cristalino process creates an elegant blend of aromas and tastes while ensuring the signature character of mezcal is maintained. Under the supervision of Chief Innovation Officer Ivan Saldaña, a small-batch filtration method was developed to transform matured mezcal into this new category innovation.

This expansion into the US market in 2022, and into global markets in 2023 and beyond, further underscores the company’s dedication to artisanal values and innovation in agave spirits on a global scale.

With an elevated look and feel, the packaging is designed to represent Contraluz Cristalino Mezcal’s luxury positioning in the category of agave-based distillates. The textured bottle pays homage to mezcal’s raw material – the agave heart – and acts as a prism that celebrates and spotlights the crystal, clear liquid.

Currently available in Mexico, and now for sale at the suggested retail price of $59.99 in the US, – including California, Texas, Florida, New York, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Illinois. Expansion across the U.S. and distribution internationally will continue into 2023.
