Azuñia Tequila Platinum Blanco

Azuñia Tequila Platinum Blanco is 100% Agave, certified USDA Organic, bottled directly after the second distillation and a special filtration process.

In the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, lies the world’s most perfect soil and climate for growing Weber Blue Agave. The fertile volcanic territory and the soil naturally deposited over 200,000 years ago by the once active Tequila Volcano. It is here, in the heart of the Tequila Valley, that Azuñia Tequila is created.

Azuñia Tequila starts with only perfectly aged Weber Blue Agave, which grows harmoniously for 8 to 10 years in our sun-drenched fields surrounding the small town of Amatitan. Each agave plant receives naturally produced rich nutrients from the fertile volcanic earth and a regime of seasonal weather.

December, 2011 - Sunny Garcia is named brand ambassador for Azuñia Tequila. Sunny is a world class surfer, world traveler, and connoisseur of fine food and drink.

Aroma: Grassy and floral with mild hints of agave. Very "wild" on the nose.
Initial taste: Sweet and well rounded with no bitterness.
Body: Light with citrus peel, grass, and agave.
Finish: Citrus peel and agave last over the course of a medium-to-short finish with very little heat.

This is a great blanco that's dry and grassy. Very enjoyable, but maybe not to unexperienced tequila drinkers. Not a pretty bottle, but that's okay. The contents are good.

I have to admit, for the most part, Im not the biggest fan of blancos that comes out of Amatitan. But this one is an exception... Very smooth and worthy of trying..

Aroma: Agave and slight floral.
Initial Taste: A thin mouth feel, its sweet on entry with no bitterness and an initial taste of vegetal.
Body: A well rounded body of agave with hints of earth, floral and ever so slight smoke.
Finish: A lightly heated finish of short duration with a pleasant agave lingering.
