Tequila Blanco

Tequila blanco — also called silver or plata — is tequila bottled clear and young, either straight off the still or rested only briefly, with no oak to veil it. It is the purest, most vivid expression of cooked blue agave: bright, peppery and citrus-fresh over a sweet vegetal core, the unfiltered voice of the spirit before any barrel speaks. This is the tequila of the margarita and the paloma, and the one that best shows what the agave and the land it grew in really taste like.
