As a \"Vino de Mezcal\" style Tequila, this 2022 Plata expression from the El Chiqueño ranch celebrates the specific soil, climate, and agave of a single estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrown at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters in the Tequila Valley, the agave here faces unique environmental stressors that concentrate sugars, developing a profile far more complex than your standard silver tequila. Distilled at the legendary Cascahuín distillery (NOM 1123), this is a pure, additive-free expression of the earth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at 46% ABV, this Plata offers a robust structure that carries the delicate nuances of the agave with exceptional clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppearance: Crystal clear with high viscosity and slow, heavy tears (lágrimas) that cling to the glass, hinting at its rich texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAroma: An immediate punch of roasted agave and damp, mineral-rich earth. Beneath the primary notes lie subtle hints of green olive brine, lime zest, and a crack of white pepper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: The mouthfeel is remarkably full-bodied and buttery. It delivers a sophisticated balance of cooked sweet potato and fresh mint, grounded by a distinct \"stony\" minerality characteristic of the El Chiqueño soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long, savory, and impeccably clean. It leaves a lingering trail of citrus peel and anise, accompanied by a gentle, warming spice that invites another sip. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't just another bottle on the shelf; it's a snapshot of a specific place and time. Because it is a Single Estate release, the 2022 El Chiqueño harvest will never be replicated exactly. It is produced without any additives (no glycerin, sugars, or coloring), ensuring that what you taste is the honest result of traditional brick-oven cooking and copper pot distillation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo truly unlock the valley agave's complexity, serve it neat in a wide-bottomed glass. Let it breathe for a few minutes to allow the vegetal and mineral notes to fully harmonize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sftequilashop.com\/collections\/nom-1123\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOM 1123\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55292213559464,"sku":"898627001650","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/9764\/6760\/files\/LagrimasPlata_2023.webp?v=1710362897","url":"https:\/\/sftequilashop.com\/products\/lagrimas-del-valle-2022-el-chiqueno-plata-tequila-750ml","provider":"San Francisco Tequila Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
