Sol Azul Silver Tequila

Sol Azul Silver Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV) unaged 100% Weber Blue Agave blanco from the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco — the expression that launched the brand in 2006. "Blue Sun" in name, blue agave in the bottle: this is highland tequila in its purest form, never touching oak, with the agave, citrus, and floral character front and center. It arrives in Sol Azul's signature handcrafted decanter-style bottle — each one made by Mexican artisans — a presentation that won Most Unique Bottle at the 2008 Agave Spirits Challenge alongside a Silver Medal for the spirit itself. This 750mL bottle scored 92 from TEQUILA.net's editor. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Highland Blanco in a Handmade Decanter

Unaged tequila is the distiller's report card — nothing to hide behind — and Sol Azul's silver earns its marks. The highland agave comes through as sweet agave and floral notes with a citrus lift, building to a vanilla-and-citrus peak with very little heat and a semi-dry, lightly oily finish. Then there's the bottle: a custom crystal-style decanter, handmade by artisans, that looks like it belongs on a back bar rather than a shelf. It's the rare blanco that works as both a sipping tequila and a centerpiece. Shop more unaged expressions in our tequila collection or see the Sol Azul lineup.

Tasting Notes

Nose: agave, citrus, and vanilla with a floral backing. Palate: sweet agave and floral entry building to a vanilla-and-citrus peak — smooth, with very little heat. Finish: semi-dry citrus with an oily mouthfeel, a gentle sting, and a light bitter note.

How to Enjoy

Neat or on the rocks — this is a blanco built for sipping. It also makes a superb top-shelf margarita or paloma, where the floral-citrus character shines through the citrus.
