Herradura Plata Tequila (70cl, 40%)

Herradura Plata is a blanco tequila made solely from blue Weber agave, bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle with gift packaging. After double distillation it rests for 45 days in American white oak casks, giving a pale straw colour and fine vanilla notes while agave remains central. Casa Herradura was founded in 1870 in Amatitán, Jalisco. Agaves grow in the volcanic lowlands and are harvested by hand after six to eight years; their hearts are steam-cooked for 26 hours in brick ovens. Fermentation uses naturally occurring yeasts, followed by two distillations. The nose combines agave and herbs with warm wood notes and a hint of vanilla. The palate shows mild sweetness with roasted agave and oak. The finish is soft, fresh and clear.
