Rose petals and acacia sweeten the aromas of clay, agave, and lime in this ethereal 80-proof spirit; almost weightless, it’s the liquid version of a down comforter. Honeyed floral tones continue to take shape and wind around vanilla candle wax, pine nut, and a pinch of white pepper before tobacco, cocoa-kissed agave, and grapefruit zest take over on the persistent 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.
