Distiller Notes
The flavor of blue agave abounds. Spicy, vanilla, cinnamon, fennel, citrus and orange blossoms with a barely discernible hint of smoke. It’s ultra smooth and soft and has a very silky mouth feel. It’s well rounded and balanced with a nice hint of earthiness. The finish is smooth with mild heat.

Wine Enthusiast
This is a raw, visceral, sexy Tequila. The savory, almost meaty nose and palate are reminiscent of pechuga mezcals (which are actually made with meat). All that umami is softened by a rounded, waxy honey note on the midpalate, finishing with an herbaceous lilt on the peppery exhale.

Tasting Panel
The nose displays an outgoing personality of bright, clean fresh agave, scented with lime and a hint of patchouli. Sensually silky, it washes the mouth with vanilla cream, salted toffee and an earthy agave that presses through to the lengthy finish.
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.
