Wine Enthusiast
This “unrested Tequila” (some blancos do spend short periods in oak barrels) has a bold, fresh tomato and herb scent. The silky, almost viscous palate starts with a minty punch, plus honey and jalapeño sizzle midpalate, and finishes herbaceous, grassy and light, with just a touch of black pepper heat as it drifts off the tongue.
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.
