HORNITOS PLATA TEQUILA (750 ML)

Details

Hornitos plata, which is the purest expression of the powerful 100% agave flavor unique to hornitos. It's floral, herbal notes are perfectly complimented by hints of clove, almond and fresh wood. It's clean and light on taste, but heavy on mischief potential. Hornitos is known for its trademark Reposado tequila with the bright green label. But now Hornitos expands in a natural direction: With both a Plata (aka Blanco or silver) tequila and an aged Anejo, to round out the line with one of each of the three traditional tequila varieties. I tried them all side by side and against some competition, too, to see how well the expansion went. Hornitos Plata is a straightforward, unaged tequila, very crisp and having that trademark tequila “kick,” an almost medicinal note that makes it bad for sipping straight but good for mixing. Hornitos’ Plata is as good as any silver I’ve tried. It would be fine in a Mexican Martini or a Frozen Margarita.
