Plantador Silver Tequila (70cl, 40%)

Plantador Silver is an additive-free blanco tequila from Destilería el Ranchito (NOM 1414) in Arandas, Los Altos, Jalisco, made with maestro tequilero Sergio Cruz. It uses 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave harvested at 6-8 years, cooked in brick ovens, crushed by roller mill, fermented with the open-air "Mozart method," and double-distilled in copper pot stills. It is imported by Skurnik Wines & Spirits. The nose brings sweet cooked agave and white pepper, followed by a round palate of honey, citrus blossom and fresh earth, and a clean finish with a mineral snap.
