Olmeca Altos Plata 750ml

Product Description

Olmeca Altos Plata 750ml: Highland Blue Agave, Tahona Milling and Bright Lime

Olmeca Altos Plata 750ml is an unaged tequila made from 100% Blue Agave grown in the mineral-rich highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Altos states that its agave grows for seven to eight years before harvest.

The agave is slow cooked in brick ovens for three days, then milled using a combination of roller mill and traditional tahona stone. Fermentation is followed by double distillation with copper components. Plata skips barrel aging, keeping cooked agave, citrus and herbs at the center.

The result was developed with bartenders and is especially well suited to Margaritas and Palomas, although its clean agave profile also supports neat service.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Cooked agave and green herbs are joined by bright lime and fresh citrus.

Palate: Balanced and smooth, with agave sweetness, lemon, lime, subtle herbs and white pepper.

Finish: Clean and lingering, leaving lime, herbs and cooked agave.

Food Pairings

Pair with ceviche, fish tacos, grilled shrimp, guacamole or citrus salad. Lime, cilantro and mild chile reinforce the tequila’s fresh highland profile.

Serving Suggestions

Serve lightly chilled, neat or in a Tommy’s Margarita, Paloma, Tequila Soda or Tequila Mimosa. Store upright away from heat and direct sunlight.
