Distiller Notes
A bright and crisp un-aged tequila packed with agave sweetness and laced with anise, cloves, cinnamon, and mellow white pepper. Followed by mandarin-lime citrus and flinty minerals, this approachable tequila blanco is made from 100% Blue Weber agave and verified additive-free. Cultivated in the red volcanic soil of the Jalisco valley region, Wild Common tequila blanco is made in El Arenal, Mexico by Master Distiller Salvador Rosales Trejo aka “Chava” by friends and family. At 42% Alc./Vol., the team has unanimously chosen to add less water and not chill-filter this blanco to highlight the aromas and flavors of the agave.
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.
