Grand Leyenda Tequila Silver is a USDA-certified organic, estate-grown tequila made from 100% blue Weber agave, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
It is produced by Santoyo, an African American-owned tequila company.
The land, agave and distillery are all certified organic, making it one of the first 100% organic, estate-grown, 100% agave tequilas on the market.
Unaged and silky-smooth, it offers sweet agave, ripe citrus and vanilla, finishing with a hint of black pepper.
Its frosted white bottle with an 'Organic' neck label makes it an elegant gift.
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.
