Clear color. Aromas of green herb scented magic marker, lemon-lime pepper, chicken fat with thyme and sage, and olive brine and white pepper with a silky, bright, dry light-to-medium body and a warming, interesting, breezy garden herbs, lemon pepper, oily meat drippings, and grass clippings finish. Refreshing without being overly smoky, maintains complexity throughout the finish, and would likely appeal to Gin drinkers.

Silver or Blanco/White Tequilas are clear, with little (no more than 60 days in stainless steel tanks) or no aging. They can be either 100% agave or mixto. Silver Tequilas are used primarily for mixing and blend particularly well into fruit-based drinks.
