Cosa Salvaje Plata is a 100% agave silver tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) and presented here in Cosa Salvaje's eye-catching pink bottle.
Cosa Salvaje, Spanish for wild thing, counts country music star Tanya Tucker as a partner, and the brand's motto, "It's your wild-thing," sets the tone. The tequila is made at NOM 1477 from mature agave without additives.
The Plata is not aged: it is rested in stainless steel tanks and bottled fresh from the still, so the character of the cooked agave comes through untouched. It is an enticing pour and a true sipping tequila, with a slightly sweet cooked-agave finish.
The nose is crisp and agave-forward, with a robust aroma of herby agave and a touch of smoke. On the palate a warm wave of spicy, peppery and herbaceous flavor arrives first, then a slight sweetness with notes of fruit and honey. The finish is gentle, with a lingering sweetness.
A fun, giftable bottle for tequila lovers and country music fans.
Blanco tequila is bottled unaged or rested for less than two months, so it shows the agave at its purest: bright, peppery and fresh. It is the classic choice for margaritas and palomas, and a good blanco is just as rewarding sipped neat.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
