Dos Armadillos Plata Tequila
Dos Armadillos Plata Tequila is a 750mL blanco bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) — "Plata" is the brand's name for its silver: 100% Blue Weber agave from Amatitan, Jalisco, matured at least eight years before harvest, distilled and bottled with zero months of barrel aging, in the range's handcrafted green-tinted crystal bottle with its artisanal medallion and braided rope neck. With no oak in the way, this is the range's purest read on valley agave. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Range With Nothing Hidden
Every Dos Armadillos expression starts the same way — Blue Weber agave from Amatitan in the Tequila Valley, left at least eight years to reach full sugar — and the Plata is where you taste that starting point undisturbed: no barrel, no colour, no rest, just the distilled spirit of slow-grown valley agave presented in the brand's artisan bottle. The brand reports a Silver for the Plata at the 2012 Spirits of Mexico tasting competition, judged blind across 113 entries. When you want to see what the oak adds, the six-month Reposado and 18-month Anejo are the same spirit after time in wood — find all three on the Dos Armadillos vendor page and in our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the brand's own notes: clear and brilliant in the glass; a subtle floral and citrus aroma over freshly cooked agave; a rich, silky, full body; a smooth, clean palate with vanilla and spiced undertones balanced by pear and banana; and a clean, warm finish of hazelnut with a bright aftertaste.
How to Enjoy
Sipped neat at room temperature it shows its agave; in a Margarita or Ranch Water it brings real blanco character instead of neutral filler. More blancos are in our tequila collection and across our spirits collection.
