Herencia De Plata Tequila Blanco
Tequila Blanco — Guadalajara , Mexico
Reviewed
July 30, 2021
Herencia De Plata Tequila Blanco is crafted in one of the highest elevation distilleries in Mexico. Made solely from 100% Weber Blue Agave grown in their red clay Highland soil farms in Guadalajara, Jalisco, that's a "high" bar to beat!
This tequila has a pleasant vegetal, floral and mineral seaside aroma. This is a nicer-smelling version of what weirdly brings me back to body spray that I used to wear in the late 90s/00s ("Calgon, take me away!").
Herencia De Plata Tequila Blanco is a rich, smooth and fully bodied sip. It starts a little savory and herbaceous with sugar cane, citrus and a smattering of pepper. The finish is medium in length, soft in flavour (lightly sweet and toasted agave), but warms my lips indefinitely.
This is a dangerous sip to have neat. As silly as it sounds, this tequila feels like incredibly alluring water. It has heft, creaminess and a subtle enough flavour that makes you curious for more (...until you stand up, of course). It continues to open and develop as it sits, though its "ease of sipping" can challenge your patience to leave it. While its flavour is not as verbose or "good-weird" as I tend to lean towards these days, this is a substantial feeling sip that doesn't need accessories.
8.25/10
