Mijenta Announces Limited Edition Cristalino Aged

A clear spirit with the complexity of aged tequila brings new versatility to mixology

Mijenta, the award-winning, additive-free, sustainable tequila from the highlands of Jalisco today announces the release of its limited edition Cristalino, which through extensive experimentation has brought to life something truly unique and utterly unpredictable. The idea to create a Cristalino tequila was born from Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero Mena’s passion for exploring the sensory possibilities of tequila, which for Mijenta’s latest expression, began with experimentation with Symphony barrels. With staves composed of American Oak from the forests of Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Virginia, over the course of approximately eight months, the barrels continuously enhance the incredible richness of the tequila as new compounds develop, transform and evolve. As with all Mijenta expressions, the Cristalino packaging is fully eco-friendly.

The bottle and cork are made from recycled glass and the box is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper.

Yorkshire Entrepreneur With Thirst For Success Launches New Independent Drinks Brand As Passion Drives New Project

Vais Founder, 31 year old serial entrepreneur, Nicky Story has declared that; “the first supermarket to stock VAIS, I will tattoo on my leg!”

Any hard seltzers in the UK are in cans - with his glass printing factory, Nicky was determined to differentiate and his premium product VAIS comes in a luxury glass bottle, that is screen printed in gold.

A 31 year old serial entrepreneur from South Yorkshire is celebrating this month, having seen an idea he had whilst on a tour of the United States, come to life - Nicky Story, CEO of Nicky Story Holdings and Founder of Supplies for Candles, which also incorporates The Soap Kitchen, Ava May Aromas and Glassprint Ltd, has branched out into a new market with his latest venture - as he brings a new drinks brand to market.

A low calorie, alcoholic hard seltzer VAIS (pronounced Vice), was born out of his own desire to replicate a drink he loved in the States, which he had struggled to find in the UK. After deciding to embark on a health kick and make more ‘health conscious decisions’, Nicky was attracted to hard seltzer drinks, but found it near impossible to find a low calorie drink that also tasted good. After trying several other seltzers on the market and not being impressed, Nicky decided to create a drink that filled this gap.

A refreshing premium fruit seltzer at 96 calories per bottle, with 100% natural flavours, VAIS comprises of alcohol (4.5% alc/vol), fruit and soda water. The initial products are Lemon & Lime / Black Cherry & Raspberry / Mango & Passionfruit. Since the start of his product development more hard seltzers have hit the marketplace - but are all in cans - Nicky, with his glass printing factory, was determined to differentiate and create a premium product in a glass bottleand this is the only one on the market.
