Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila (70cl, 40%)

Olmeca Altos Plata is an unaged blanco tequila made from 100% blue agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is slow-cooked in brick ovens, then crushed using traditional tahona and roller-mill methods. Fermentation takes place with agave fibres before double distillation in copper pot stills. The nose combines cooked agave, citrus peel, white pepper, vanilla and mint. The palate shows roasted agave, lime, pepper, cinnamon and fresh vegetal notes. The finish is medium length, with cooked agave and pepper lingering.
