Distiller Notes
Silvery, colorless, of impeccable purity. Candied aromas and flavors of marzipan, chocolate mint, sage, bay leaf and lemongrass. Entry is silky smooth, harmonious and creamy in texture. Vibrant, fruity light-to medium body with rich flavors of hazelnut spread, black peppercorn, rosemary and thyme and intense herbaceous zestiness of Agave fibers. The finish is long, herbal with a hint of lingering, delectable agave syrup sweetness at the end. Smooth and mellow.

Aromas of white peppered sweet agave, vanilla, and ginger. On the palate, a bright prickle of black pepper on lime and agave is followed by musky vanilla. White flower petals go creamy midway, preceding an earthy, herbal finish.

An initial burst of alcohol heat gives way to plenty of ripe tropical fruit: guava, banana, lychee. The palate echoes a milder version of those tones, as lychee fades into a rosewater exhale enlivened by pink peppercorn and cayenne. Best Buy
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.
