Clear color. Aromas and flavors of roast agave and sea salt, petrichor, caramelized plantain chips, and sautéed green herbs with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish revealing accents of salted lime, black pepper, sage, mint, and thyme, and vanilla. A very nice salty minerality leads the way with some citrus to compliment; feels like it was made for a Margarita.

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.
