Process & Profile
Adictivo Tequila Plata is crafted in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, from hand-selected Blue Weber agave plants grown in rich volcanic soil. The agave is harvested at peak maturity, then baked slowly in traditional stone or brick ovens to coax out its natural sweetness. After being crushed to extract the agave juice, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks without agave fibers, preserving its bright, clean character. Double distillation in stainless pot stills with copper coils ensures purity and refined flavor. Unlike many Blancos, Adictivo Plata is gently rested for three weeks in French white oak barrels, imparting a subtle depth while maintaining its crystal-clear appearance with sparkling silver highlights.Tasting Notes
