Cava Antigua Silver Tequila

Intense cooked agave, citrus and tropical fruit over a silky texture: the foundation pour of the Cava Antigua range. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Range Before the Rest
Every Cava Antigua passes through the same making — autoclave-cooked agave selected, by the brand's account, at eight to ten years of maturity, roller-milled, fermented in stainless steel and double distilled in stainless pot stills at La Querencia — and the Silver is that spirit with nothing added by time. Gustavo Romero founded the brand in 1995 on a family tequila history the producer traces across five generations, and even the unaged expression gets the full presentation: blown glass built in 21 hand steps, a leather label applied by hand, bottles filled one by one. Compare it with the rested siblings on the Cava Antigua vendor page and in our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the producer's official notes: bright and luminous, silver-shaded, with a robust, viscous body; an aroma recognised for intense cooked agave with hints of citrus, white pepper, mango, apple, pear and sweet honeysuckle; an elegant, delicate palate with a silky mouthfeel; and a lingering, smooth sweetness to the end.
How to Enjoy
The Margarita and Paloma blanco of the house — the fruit register (mango, apple, pear) is built for citrus cocktails — and a clean neat pour for agave-first drinkers. More blancos are in our tequila collection and across our spirits collection.
