Olmeca Altos Tequila Plata, 70 cl

Product Information

Blue Weber is known as the most elegant expression of tequila. “While tequila falls under the mezcal category, several distillers around the town of Tequila began distilling a superior form of mezcal. They used the whole heart of blue agave, which is indigenous to the region,” describes Brian Olson, the founder and owner of Café Intermezzo. Bottles of Tequila Corazón hold some of the smoothest, richest tequilas you’ll find. Each sip is pure pleasure, and the tequila makes a fantastic margarita. Corazón is distilled in Los Altos, a region with red clay soil that yields some of the best agave plants. The distillery only uses agave grown on the estate so it can ensure quality from field to bottle. The blanco tequila is crisp, clean, and full of that unmistakable agave flavor. It is everything you would hope to find in a great tequila.

Aged for at least two months, up to one year, here the colour changes to more gold and amber tones. You should find a more well-rounded flavour and smoother finish with sweeter vanilla and oak notes. Anejo En Estados Unidos, la Paloma siempre ha vivido a la sombra de su hermana más popular, la Margarita, pero los tiempos están cambiando. El pomelo, el ingrediente distintivo de la bebida, es una de las frutas más cosechadas en suelo estadounidense; una verdadera belleza de esta bebida es que, si es demasiado complicado conseguir zumo recién exprimido, un buen refresco de pomelo rosa como el 3 Cents cumplirá con creces. Before the tequila boom of the last couple of decades, gold tequila was almost the only choice at many liquor stores. This category is a mixto meaning that it’s distilled from agave plant varietals other than the famous blue Weber. While gold tequilas are not as popular as they once were, there’s something appealing about their caramel taste and low price. You’ll want to be smart about which to drink, and Two Fingers Gold Tequila is one of the best in this category.

Olmeca Altos offers a range of quality Tequilas at affordable prices, making them appealing to both beginners and old-school Tequila aficionados.

However, it’s important to note that Reposado Tequilas can impart a slightly cloudy appearance to Margaritas, which may be off-putting to some.Los nuevos Tequilas infusionados vienen en botellas de 700 ml, con ABV de 35%, todos son producidos en Los Altos de Jalisco, considerada la región ideal para la destilación de tequila por su suelo volcánico rico en minerales y su altitud óptima. Avion and Altos are produced in different distilleries, while Del Maguey is crafted by an army of mezcal distillers across Oaxaca. How is Olmeca Altos made? For a single margarita, a 1.5-ounce shot of tequila is standard. It is typically equal to the total volume of the other two ingredients (triple sec and lime juice). For instance, the classic margarita formula is three parts tequila, two parts triple sec, and one part lime juice. This is adjusted to taste, pouring more triple sec for a sweeter margarita or extra lime to increase the tartness.

Orange liqueur or Cointreau: What makes a Margarita refreshing is the harmonious blend of sweet orange and bitter lime. An orange-flavored triple liqueur, such as Cointreau, or a quality cognac, such as Grand Marnier, provide a sweetness that balances the lime juice beautifully. You can also opt for the Mexican liqueur, Controy, for your Margarita.

Incluso el mundialmente conocido barman Dré Masso lo aprueba:“Sorprendentemente, la paloma es el cóctel más popular de México, y no la margarita, como pensaba en un principio. La mayoría de las veces se prepara con una bebida gaseosa enlatada o embotellada que consiste en pomelo, limón, azúcar y soda”. Here, I’m not just sharing opinions; I’m weaving tales from the rich tapestry of my experiences over these three decades.

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.Serve your perfect creation: Strain the mix into the prepared glasses with or without ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy! Tequila is made from the extracted juices of the agave plant. By law, tequila must include at least 51 percent Weber blue agave, and the majority of tequilas exclusively use that variety. The agave juice is fermented and distilled, and the tequila is diluted to bottling strength. Tequila destined to be reposado or añejo is aged in wood barrels for two months to a few years. Silver (or blanco) tequila is unaged, but can rest in stainless steel for up to two months. Gold (or joven) tequila is the only style that can include coloring and flavoring additives. It is also important to remember the basic grading system for tequilas. Typically, every tequila brand's portfolio will offer a blanco, reposado, and añejo tequila.
