Olmeca Altos Tequila Plata, 70 cl

Product Information

When it comes to the palate, El Alto provides a smooth and oily texture, enhancing the overall drinking experience. Once opened, it remains good, but it’s recommended to finish the bottle once it reaches 25% to prevent a change in taste. Does it have sugar? Tequila hasn’t claimed the crown of best-selling spirit in America just yet — only vodka now stands in its way on that front — but Mexico’s famous agave distillate has firmly established itself as a staple of stateside drinking culture. The finish, though short in duration, presents a slight bitterness from the noticeable presence of oak spice, while offering minimal warmth. Alternatives Utilizes a variety of 11 barrel types, primarily hybrid barrels with American oak bodies and French oak heads.

Your taste buds will sway you to the type of tequila to buy. There are many varieties of tequila—and how it is produced, including whether or not it's aged and what type of agave and other ingredients are added, has the impact on the taste of this liquor. You might find hints of citrus, honey, herbs, spices, and floral notes when tasting it.

PATRÓN tequila is passionately handcrafted with meticulous precision and care in the same small batches and with the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship by our familia of bold innovators who maintain a tireless dedication to achieve perfection in every drop. Olmeca Altos was founded by two world famous bartenders, Dre Masso and the late Henry Besant, along with master distiller Jesus Hernandez. Their goal was to create an affordable and sustainable tequila for both bartenders and tequila enthusiasts. And they have a simple line of only three tequilas: Olmeca Alto Plata, Olmeca Alto Reposado and Olmeca Alto Anejo.

A wedge or squeeze of lime is a must when it comes to tequila, and this liquor has a plethora of mixers, including club soda, seltzer, grapefruit juice, coconut water, and other sodas, including ginger, coke, and lemon-lime. Cristalino tequilas continue to see significant growth as tequila enthusiasts seek premium offerings with unique finishing and ageing features,” said Alex Coronado, Head of Production and Master Distiller for Reserva de la Familia. “Reserva de la Familia Añejo Cristalino Organico embodies everything that makes Cristalino tequilas so dynamic. The handcrafted production process paired with the unique finish from Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks makes for a remarkable tequila that is ideally suited for tequila aficionados seeking a luxury sipping experience.” However, the flavor profile may appear light and restrained, featuring notes of vanilla, caramel, and a delicate touch of pineapple. Flavour: Sweet and soft on the palate with rich, smooth notes of stone fruit and a refreshingly bright finish. Adding to the disappointment, El Alto carries a hefty price tag, making it one of the most expensive Reposado Tequilas on the market.

Lowland tequilas are grown and produced deep in the Tequila Valley outside of the cities of Tequila and Guadalajara, while highland (Los Altos) tequilas come from higher-altitude regions surrounding the valleys. The tasting differences are relatively subtle, but experts note that highland tequilas are more floral, while lowland tequilas are more vegetal and herbal. Yes, there is a sprawling, gorgeous Hacienda Patrón, home to the distillery and La Casona, a year-old private guesthouse that kind of looks like the residence of a James Bond villain. But Patrón actually prides itself on moderation. According to the company, a mere 60 hands go into the production of every bottle (which is actually a small number considering production levels), and a mere “ eight families provide 80 to 95%” of Patrón’s agave plants. Patrón is kind of like Bordeaux. Using 100% naturally perfect ingredients — agave, water and yeast — Patrón El Alto is naturally smooth and sweet with subtle notes of figs, honey, caramel, dried fruit and vanilla. The sweet, dried fruit notes of Patrón El Alto are a result of having been expertly aged in 11 types of barrels, mostly hybrid barrels of American oak body and French oak heads. My education and training include a thorough knowledge of agave spirits creation from planting agaves to bottling, including distillation.Like everyone’s favorite, and inevitable ex-girlfriend, Patrón was born in 1989. We don’t know how many celebrity hearts it’s broken, or whether it and Jake Gyllenhaal are still on good terms, but the brand, like Swift, has likely led to more than a few tales of heartbreak. Patrón production is surprisingly old-school.

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been making too many margaritas this summer. And while browsing the internet, I came across Steve the Bartender’s Youtube video with five different margarita recipes. They all looked pretty good but I was most interested in the cucumber and jalapeño recipe. That combo is new to me and I was curious how the simple flavor of Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila would work with the spice of the jalapeño. agave Tequila is incredibly low in sugars making it the best liquor when counting calories. Does Patron El Alto use additives?Here, I’m not just sharing opinions; I’m weaving tales from the rich tapestry of my experiences over these three decades. As the world rediscovers diversity in the spirits world, the second-use barrel market is reaping the benefits. Whiskey and wine barrels have always been the popular choice for tequila makers, but bourbon seems to have lent its own unique mark to Olmeca Altos Tequila’s Reposado expression.
