Blanco Tequila

Category: Blanco Tequila

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 35%
Clear color. Aromas and flavors of green pine needles and straw, cheese rind, orange peel, and composted leaves with a round, soft, dryish light-to-medium body and a smooth, interesting, brisk finish that presents overtones of orange oil, pine and eucalyptus, black pepper, and vanilla cream. A delicate and approachable spirit that follows through with a floral sweetness on the palate.

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.
