Cava De Oro Tequila Plata Tahona 750mL

• Plata (Blanco) / unaged or minimally rested.

• Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave.

• Tahonacrushed: agave is crushed with a tahona (volcanic stone wheel), a traditional method intended to give more vegetal, earthy complexity.

• Distillation: Double distilled.

• Aroma

  – Cooked agave (sweet, roasted) leading the way. – Smoky or lightly charred note, from the woodoven / volcanic stone / fire influence. – Fresh herbal tones: lime or citrus peel (lime zest), fresh green agave, maybe a touch of grassiness. – Minerality: wet stone, earth, perhaps a slight citrusade edge.

  Palate

  – Silky to medium texture (nice weight for a blanco) thanks to traditional tahona extraction. – Notes of cooked agave but also green agave: vegetal, maybe leafy or herbal. – Spice: white or black pepper edge. Slight tang / citrus (lime, maybe tomatillo or a green citrus) giving freshness. – Earth and smoke interplay: the smoky influence is present but not overwhelmingmore as a layering than dominating.

  Finish

  – Clean, moderately long. – Lingering agave sweetness and peppery snap. – Slight citrus fade (lime / citrus) and maybe a final whiff of earth or smoke. – Moderate warmth from the 42% ABV but not harsh.
