Complex, enticing tropical fruit aromas entice. A fleeting, mouthwatering saline note up front carries over into a burst of salted fruit: guava, lychee, prickly pear lead into a waxy rosewater exhale laced with grapefruit peel and cardamom.
Tequila Blanco, or ‘white Tequila’, is also known as Tequila Plata, or ‘silver Tequila’. Its clear color is the result of being bottled immediately after distillation instead of being aged in oak barrels like Tequila Reposado or Anejo. Because of their youth and lack of barrel influence, Blanco Tequilas are thought to offer the purest expression of blue agave available, with notes of citrus and pepper. However, they can also be quite forceful and energetic on the palate without the moderating influence of time and wood.
