Vuelo del Aviador Gran Reserva Plata is a 100% blue agave tequila from Jalisco, slow cooked in clay ovens, fermented in wooden vats, twice distilled in copper pot stills and rested for four months before bottling at 40% ABV.
A Double Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, the Gran Reserva Plata pairs a smooth, remarkable finish with intricate complexity. Its short rest gives roundness while keeping the bright character of the agave at the centre.
The nose is white floral with honeysuckle. The palate brings pear, apples and honey, and the finish is gentle, with delicate fig notes.
In its striking cut-glass bottle, it makes a handsome gift.
Sip it neat, or use it in an elevated margarita.
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.
