Cava de Oro Plata Tequila
Cava de Oro Plata Tequila is a 750mL blanco tequila bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), made from 100% Blue Weber agave by Tequilera Puerta de Hierro in El Arenal, Jalisco — the gateway town to the Tequila Valley. Bottled after distillation with only a short rest of about three weeks, it is the house's purest expression: brilliant and crystalline, with the raw elegance of agave untouched by oak.

Agave, Unadorned, from the Gateway to Tequila Country
El Arenal is where the road into the Tequila Valley begins, and Cava de Oro's Plata is built to taste like the place: agave first, everything else second. Where the Reposado and Anejo go to French white oak, the Plata goes almost straight to bottle — a few weeks of rest to settle, no wood to hide behind — so what reaches the glass is the distillery's base spirit at its most honest.
