Herencia De Plata Tequila Blanco

Herencia De Plata Tequila Blanco comes from one of Mexico's highest distilleries. It's made only from 100% Weber Blue Agave cultivated in their red clay Highland soil farms in Guadalajara, Jalisco, setting a high standard! This tequila offers a pleasant vegetal, floral, and mineral aroma reminiscent of the seaside. It's a nicer-smelling version of something that oddly brings me back to a body spray I wore in the late 90s/early 00s ("Calgon, take me away!"). Herencia De Plata Tequila Blanco is a rich, smooth, and fully bodied sip. It starts out a bit savory and herbaceous with notes of sugar cane, citrus, and a sprinkle of pepper. The finish is medium in length, soft in flavor (lightly sweet and toasted agave), but warms my lips indefinitely. This is a dangerous sip to have neat. As strange as it sounds, this tequila feels like incredibly alluring water. It has substance, creaminess, and a subtle enough flavor that makes you curious for more (...until you stand up, of course). It continues to open and develop as it sits, though its "ease of sipping" can test your patience to set it down. While its flavor isn't as verbose or "good-weird" as I tend to prefer these days, this is a substantial feeling sip that doesn't require additions. 8.25/10
