El Don de la Familia Tequila Plata

El Don Tequila Plata - Far away from the hustle and bustle of urban city life, lies a small town in the region of Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico called Jamay, known for having one of the richest crimson soils in the Americas. El Don Tequila is cultivated using the finest ingredients; made from 100% pure Weber Blue Agave plants of the Lilly family. Agave’s natural sweet sugars and rich colors are aged in exclusive American white oak barrels from the finest amenities in modern laboratories. Tequila has a tradition steeped in mystery and is known as one of the oldest distilled spirits in the Americas.

El Don Tequila, competes with the finest liquors around the world in quality, presentation and price, by its carefully selected Agave Azul Tequiliana Weber plant. El Don Tequila’s first class Tequilas are made in 3 stages: Plata (silver), Reposado (rested), and Anjeo (aged).

Every bottle of El Don Tequila is hand bottled, individually numbered, and wax stamped. A brilliant stone is placed in the bottle to signify the riches of the Corazon of the agave. El Don Tequilas is a rare Tequila handmade in modest quantities, just enough to find its way to aficionados all over the world. The uniqueness that goes into creating El Don Tequila, results in an ultra premium distilled spirit with one of the lowest methanol contents of any spirit produced. This ultra-premium sipping Tequila is best served straight up, on the rocks, or used for a mojito instead of rum.

El Don de la Familia is a clear and full bodied blanco, very unique in taste. The nose contains grass and cherry, with a hint of tobacco. A smooth initial taste with butter and nuts, turning fruity and gets a little hot at the finish. Nice long aftertaste with agave and mild cherry.

Nice bottle design and wax sealed top. Label even contains a diamond agave pina. :)

El Don de la familia Tequila Plata. NOM 1534. Tasted in Riedel glass on 2/15/08. "The Boss" was purchased online from Hi-Time as it is not available in my area. Crystal clear in the glass, bright and colorless. This tequila is a real sleeper. Aroma/nose is incredible! One of the best. It's a full spectrum agave aroma, with everything you'd expect in a blanco and more. Very pleasing. The taste was an enjoyable experience from start to finish with its only setback being a slightly bitter aftertaste. This tequila comes closest to 4 Copas than any other blanco that I have tried. The taste is sweet green and vegetal with hints of fruit and citrus. It has a thin to mediun/light body and a balanced alcohol feel on the tongue. A straight forward deep agave flavor with lots of lasting heat on the finish. Because of its strong flavor it can make a great mixer but this tequila is a sipper for my money. There's lots of true to a blanco tequila flavor and aroma here to like. Definitely breaks into my top 5. The unique bottle design partly drew me to this tequila. The label could be better, but the embeded crystal and dripping wax seal are nice touches. A reasonable price point makes this a must try.

After tasting El Don Tequila for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised in the bold yet incredibly smooth taste of this tequila. Although the presentation is outstanding, I was unsure how it would measure up against long time traditional favorites such as Patron and Cazadores, but after witnessing first hand the unique, fruity blend and subtle after taste of El Don Tequila, I am thoroughly convinced that these long time favorites have some new competition. El Don is not only smooth to sip or shoot, it is a great mixer for any tequila drink, especially margaritas! El Don is also affordably priced as well, compared to other higher end tequilas so you won't break the bank when going to purchase this tequila. Overall, El Don Tequila is one of the best tasting tequilas I've enjoyed drinking thus far, and if you haven't tried it already, you should!
