374 Tequila Silver

Tasted out of a snifter. As the recession rolls on, I keep looking for good deals on good tequilas. 374 was a nice surprise for me. At $24 bux a bottle, I feel I got a very good blanco. To be honest, normally I don't care for triple distilled tequilas. But Im glad I gave this one a try. Its clean, sweet, and smooth. Yet another one Id recommend to new tequila drinkers who are just delving into the tequila world.

Aroma: A simple, yet inviting aroma of fruit (raspberry), floral ( violet) and clay.
Initial Taste: A thin mouth feel, on first sip its sweet with a slight bitterness. With a first taste of fruit (raspberry).
Body: A semi earth agave body with hints of spice and floral (violet).
Finish: A long semi heated finish with a fruity lingering aftertaste.

374 Silver NOM 1522 Tasted on 7/26/08 at 7:00pm. I tasted this tequila in a friend’s home and used a spirits glass for tasting. 374 does not age their Silver which causes it to be clear in color. Intense medicinal earthy aromas of this tequila are followed by moderate notes of fruit and floral with mild notes of spice. In the mouth, the Silver is thin and mellow. While the tequila is sweet, there is a hint of bitterness. When examining the flavors of 374 Silver, first impressions include intense floral accents with moderate to intense agave. On a second sip, I noticed moderate flavors of earth and fruit with mild spice. This tequila finishes with a long duration of flavor and a tingly numbing alcohol intensity that contains some heat. I awarded 374 Silver the rating of 86 points out of 100.
