el Jimador Silver Tequila (75cl, 40%)

A blanco tequila from Casa Herradura in Amatitan, Jalisco, made from 100% Blue Weber Agave. The brand launched in 1994 and takes its name from the jimadores who harvest agave by hand. Production includes slow cooking in traditional masonry ovens, fermentation with ambient wild yeast and double distillation, with no wood ageing. It is bottled at 80 proof, or 40% ABV. The tequila is clean, direct and agave-forward, with citrus and pepper notes. It has a crystal clear colour and a nose of bright citrus, lime and grapefruit zest, fresh cooked agave, green herbs and white pepper, followed by a crisp palate of roasted agave, peppery spice, cucumber freshness and a faint mineral note, and a short to medium finish of agave sweetness with citrus and black pepper.
