Tres Rios Silver

Elegant in its simplicity, Tres Rios Silver Tequila exemplifies genuine tequila in the nose and taste. It is the purest expression of the distinctive quality of Blue Agave used in its distillation. Given deliberate nurturing, Blanco releases the most unique aroma, the freshest taste and the strongest Agave flavor of the three Tres Rios products. The harvest is deferred for two years in order to fully ripen the fruits sugars, resulting in a richer honey. The Agave is then slow roasted in small brick ovens, producing unique yet pure aroma and taste. This careful, select process follows through to the pallet upon the first taste. It is a remarkable sensory experience provided exclusively by this Tlaquepaque Tequila.

The yeast in Tres Rios is allowed to ferment for 24 to 28 hours, no more, no less, to achieve the perfect balance that is observed in this fine and smooth tequila.

The Ojeda family uses artesian well water from a depth of 90 meters below the surface to compliment the quality of the distillation process.

After the Agave is cut, it is stacked to bake in a brick oven for 36 hours, compared to the average of 12 to 24 hours, to impart the particular nuances of Tres Rios.

Tasted 08/16/08 out of double ball glass. I'm a bit hesitant to try anything endorsed by someone who thinks blancos are aged. But I thought I'd give it a shot. I was very impressed. A very unique aroma and taste. Definitely top shelf, lots of character.

Aroma: Agave, spice, and clove.
Initial Taste: On the tip of tongue, its sweet with no bitterness. A thin mouth feel.
Body: A nicely balanced agave, with cinnamon, earth, and pear.
Finish: A heated finish of medium duration.

Tres Rios Tequila Silver, NOM 1482, Lot. Nr. 1802, Bottle Nr. 039985-A. Crystal clear color with long legs extending high on the shot glass. The first nose is sweet cooked agave with a hint of spice. The second nose is cedar pencil with more spice. The initial taste is spicy sweet with hints of coriander, cloves, & cinnamon followed by a warm glow. The body is very peppery with nice warmth, sweetness, & light alcohol. The finish rolls over the tongue & fades into a memory. I have tasted smoother tequilas but Tres Rios has a quality that spans the entire tasting experience with only a slight alcohol numbing sensation. The presentation, inner wrapped & boxed with a sealing waxed neck ribbon is impeccable. Everything here is silver. Above the hard rock/heavy metal hype is a reasonably priced, very sound tequila worthy of your consideration. Top shelf. A-
(I am concerned about tequila bottle corks not sealing as well as they should, this one included. Every tequila I've reviewed so far has had this problem. Be careful to, especially transport & obviously store, straight up or leakage will occur).
