Olmeca Altos Tequila Plata, 70 cl

Product Information

Third time - something markedly savoury hit me this time. Not sure what, but had a mental flash of meat on a grill, so something more umami-ish? No idea, but probably just making this up anyway! After second try of Don Julio, still think I can detect the aromas above, but I have a suspicion that I’d get something different on a different day. Seems fainter than the DJ. On the nose, it presents a delicate and enticing subtle aroma reminiscent of fresh agave and a touch of herbal sweetness [ 1]. How does it differ from other tequilas in terms of taste? Altos Plata is a silver or blanco tequila, which means it is unaged and bottled shortly after the distillation process. It is known for its purity and fresh agave flavors. What is the difference between Olmeca Altos Reposado and Plata?

Olmeca Altos Plata is unaged, offering a vibrant and crisp taste that showcases the pure essence of the agave plant with prominent citrus and tropical fruity notes. References

Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila is made using a traditional production process that respects the centuries-old tequila production methods. Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila is a premium and solid tequila crafted with utmost care and expertise in the heart of Los Altos.

Olmeca Altos was founded by two world famous bartenders, Dre Masso and the late Henry Besant, along with master distiller Jesus Hernandez. Their goal was to create an affordable and sustainable tequila for both bartenders and tequila enthusiasts. And they have a simple line of only three tequilas: Olmeca Alto Plata, Olmeca Alto Reposado and Olmeca Alto Anejo. The tequila also exhibits a remarkable purity, showcasing the quality of the ingredients and the skillful craftsmanship involved in its production. Olmeca Tequila is a tequila produced in Jalisco, Mexico. Olmeca is owned by the Pernod Ricard Group. [1] There are three tequilas that Olmeca produces: Olmeca, Olmeca Altos, and Olmeca Tezón. [ citation needed] Production [ edit ] The slow cooking of sweet agave in stone ovens and the use of copper pot stills for distillation are testaments to this commitment to tradition. Añejo translates to aged or matured tequila, and [said] aging is done in oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months, which imparts a lot of flavors to the spirit,” says Suyash Pande, head bartender at New York’s Baar Baar. Pande finds that añejo tequilas tend to be smoother than their counterparts, thanks to their one to three years of barrel aging.When it comes to food pairings, Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila pairs wonderfully with Mexican cuisine. Its bright flavors and crispness complement dishes like ceviche, tacos, or grilled seafood. Finish: Alcohol, at first. Slightly shorter finish than the Don Julio, I thought. Might have missed some things, though. Second time - wasn’t giving length much thought, but can still feel some in the throat, so a bit longer than I originally thought, maybe? The production process of Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila leans towards traditional methods, honoring the time-honored techniques that have defined tequila production for generations. Añejo tequila is special in that it spends one to three years aging in oak barrels. In Spanish, the word “añejo” means old, which is a reference to its aging time. Due to its oak aging, Añejo tequilas often show rich flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, and/or sweet spice on the palate. In terms of aging, the four main types of tequila are Blanco (0-59 days), Reposado (60+ days), Añejo (1-3 years), and Extra Añejo (3+ years). Blanco tequilas do not spend time aging in oak, whereas the other three categories do.

Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila is a nice tequila with a vibrant flavor profile with distinct tropical fruits and citrus notes. The agave flavors shine through, accompanied by subtle vanilla and white pepper hints.
