Blanco Tequila

Category: Blanco Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 40%
Clear color. Aromas and flavors of cheese rind and cane sugar vinegar, sweet red peppers and pickle juice, vinegar based yellow mustard, and melon and orange with a satiny, vibrant, dry medium body and a warming, refreshing, medium-long finish with suggestions of pickled orange rind, anise and strawberry, and vanilla sugar coated almonds. Layered flavors of red fruits with nice tannins and some umami notes that will make this interesting in cocktails as well as a stand alone sipper.

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.
