Distiller Notes
Some say a distillery is only as good as its blanco. That’s because without the influence of the barrel, the flavor of blanco tequila has the purest expression of the natural flavors of the agave itself. El Mayor 100% agave Blanco tequila delivers a crisp, light body, with a hint of pepper and a bevy of accolades to match.
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.
