Distiller Notes
Notes of toasted agave, fresh green herbs and vibrant citrus. Soft and smooth on the palate with hints of sweet vanilla, savory brown spices, and black pepper with a warming finish.

Wine Enthusiast
Savory roasted-tomato and bell pepper scents, freshened with lemon peel, introduce this tequila. The palate is by turns minerally, showing slate and pencil lead, and herbaceous, tinged with sage and tarragon.

Tasting Panel
Considering both price point and the complexity that ensues in this spirit, we’re duly impressed. On the nose, heather and lilac marry into a bouquet of clean agave and tangerine with a veil of vanilla bean. Black pepper anchors a smooth, buoyant texture as dried flower petals, lime, pink grapefruit, and scented boysenberry weave through high tones of agave. The finish is clean with a spot of minerality: almost like tasting a raindrop.
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.
