Description
Closed stainless steel tanks handle fermentation for El Viejito Plata Fuerte. Double distillation follows in a stainless-copper hybrid still. The family distillery, established in 1937 in the Jalisco Highlands, produces this unaged tequila under NOM 1107. Bottled at still strength, it carries 50% ABV and contains no additives.
Raw agave is concentrated on the nose. Lime zest, grapefruit and white pepper follow, with a faint mineral note. The palate brings agave sweetness and bright citrus together before layered pepper spice builds. Mineral earthiness runs beneath the fruit. The long finish carries warmth, lingering pepper and dry agave, ending with a clean mineral trace.
Try it neat at room temperature. A small splash of still water brings out floral and citrus aromas. For a cooler pour, a single large ice cube gradually reveals the mineral character.
