Distiller Notes
2017 San Francisco World Spirits Gold Medal Winner
Barreled for 15 days in Neutral Oak Barrels, this Plata (Blanco) represents the most traditional form of tequila. Because it is barreled for a short period of time, the Plata is the choice of tequila purists who seek the unmasked agave character and the influences of the land of origin.
The long maturing agave achieves the highest quality fructose and reveals the unique aromas and flavors indigenous to the Jalisco highlands. A silky soft entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with great smoothness and balance of flavors.
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.
