Distiller Notes
Silver in color. Aromas of baked pineapple, roasted jalapeño, and tangerine zest explode on the nose of this complex tequila. The palate has an iodine mineral tone and a creamy texture that fills the mouth and leads into an invigorating, spicy finish.

The super-fruity aroma suggests peaches and pears. On the palate, it's more lean and green, with jalapeño pepper and black pepper smoothed with agave. The fruitiness just peeks out on the 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.
