Olmeca Altos Tequila Plata, 70 cl

Product Information

Tequila used to be made with something called the ancient Tahona process, wherein heartless tequila distillers force a donkey to drag a massive volcanic stone over agave hearts prior to cooking and distilling them. (We assume that donkey hates his life.) Patrón still goes old-school, although they give the donkeys a break and use machinery to drag massive, specially sculpted stones across their agave hearts, yielding a unique vegetal taste that they then mix with a portion of citrusy tequila made with the modern Roller Mill method. You have one guy to thank for that smooth, smooth balance. Ancho Reyes Barrica marks the first new offering from the Ancho Reyes portfolio since the successful release of Ancho Reyes Verde in 2017.

agave Tequila is incredibly low in sugars making it the best liquor when counting calories. Does Patron El Alto use additives? Reserva de la Familia Añejo Cristalino Organico embodies everything that makes Cristalino tequilas so dynamic. The handcrafted production process paired with the unique finish from Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks makes for a remarkable tequila that is ideally suited for tequila aficionados seeking a luxury sipping experience.” However, the flavor profile may appear light and restrained, featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, and a delicate touch of pineapple.As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been making too many margaritas this summer. And while browsing the internet, I came across Steve the Bartender’s Youtube video with five different margarita recipes. They all looked pretty good but I was most interested in the cucumber and jalapeño recipe. That combo is new to me and I was curious how the simple flavor of Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila would work with the spice of the jalapeño. While any expression of tequila can be considered “smooth,” many believe that extra añejo tequilas — which are barrel-aged for a minimum of three years — are particularly smooth, complex, and best for sipping. What are silver and gold tequila? Flavour: Sweet and soft on the palate with rich, smooth notes of stone fruit and a refreshingly bright finish. Once opened, it remains good, but it’s recommended to finish the bottle once it reaches 25% to prevent a change in taste. Does it have sugar?

I was excited to see the development of the tequila’s tasting notes after being aged in wine barrels and found that the end result both honours the traditions of tequila making while shining a light on what modern-day Mexico has to offer. It’s also exciting to bring this to life beside partners both old and new.” To turn the añejo spirit into the Cristalino tequila style, the deep amber liquid is filtered through charcoal to produce an incredibly smooth, bright-tasting tequila, crystal clear in colour while retaining the rich flavours and textures imparted by the barrel. The final result is a tequila with an extra Sherry softness and complex flavour profile that features notes of cooked agave and dried fruits, with lasting notes of oak and a bright, refreshing finish. The finish, though short in duration, presents a slight bitterness from the noticeable presence of oak spice, while offering minimal warmth. Alternatives The Cuervo family is proud to share that this new addition is certified organic, joining Reserva de la Familia Platino and Reposado variants as the brand’s latest organic offering. Organic certification is a key next step in Reserva de la Familia’s mission to produce the finest luxury tequila possible. As interest in tequila spikes, conversations surrounding production techniques and ingredients are also gaining importance. Bottles made with additives and/or using corner-cutting equipment simply don’t cut it among modern-day bartenders and agave aficionados.

PATRÓN is made from only the finest, highest-quality Weber Blue Agave, which gives it its characteristic smoothness and layers of flavor. The agave is stripped to reveal the heart of the plant, the ‘piña’, which is then hand-chopped, baked and crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone Tahona wheel and a roller mill. The resulting mixture is fermented for three days, distilled and, in some cases, aged in handmade barrels. Two months at minimum for PATRÓN Reposado, over 12 months for PATRÓN Añejo, and at least three years for PATRÓN Extra Añejo. It’s no secret that we have a steadfast commitment to crafting the world’s finest tequila, but we’re just as dedicated to taking care of the resources and people that make it possible. At PATRÓN, we’ve always been committed to doing our part to preserve the environment and support our people and the community in our birthplace and hometown of Atotonilco el Alto in Jalisco, Mexico. Paired with dessert: For the perfect after-dinner treat, Ancho Reyes Barrica complements your favorite dessert or dark chocolate square for a delightful alternative to traditional digestifs.

Here, I’m not just sharing opinions; I’m weaving tales from the rich tapestry of my experiences over these three decades.Utilizes a variety of 11 barrel types, primarily hybrid barrels with American oak bodies and French oak heads. The result of this labor comes in two final expressions: plata and reposado. Both have an herbal nose. Plata, which is unaged, is aromatic and sweet with citric and cooked Agave notes, well balanced with peppery heat and has a long lasting, fruity finish.
