Silver tequila (Blanco/Plata):
Tequila that is kept in white oak barrels for two to eight weeks.
If agave is the heart, then our special wooden barrels are the soul. Tequila simply wouldn’t be the same without them, and here’s why.
Before we add a drop of tequila, we toast the barrel first. It’s this process that gives tequila its aroma. There are three degrees of toasting, which determine a different tequila profile.
Imparts a sweet oak aroma and spicy notes
Imparts vanilla notes and sweet hint of honey and toast
Imparts chocolate notes, nuts such as roasted almonds and hints of smoke
By resting tequila in barrels, we add depth to the taste and aroma. Tequilas are divided into different varieties according to various ageing lengths.
