Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner
Calle 23 Blanco Tequila is a crystalline, clear color. Medium body with aromas of cooked agave, plus hints of citrus and herbaceous notes. Soft and gentle on the palate, yet with much character. Full agave flavor, hints of fruit especially Granny Smith apples and pears in the long, lingering aftertaste.
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.
