Otaca Plata Tequila
Otaca Plata Tequila is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 750mL unaged blanco made from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the Jalisco lowlands. Piñas harvested at about eight years of maturity go through a proprietary triple-filtration and chilling process aimed at sipping smoothness — citrus, vanilla, and a touch of warm earth in a brilliant, multi-faceted finish.

Once Tried, Always Craved
OTACA stands for "Once Tried, Always Craved (Agave)" — a fitting motto for a boutique brand founded in 2021 in Aliso Viejo, California, by Jack Ambriz. The blanco debuted in Southern California with NFC-enabled smart packaging tied to a blockchain supply-chain system for authenticity verification, and it has picked up Double Gold at the SIP Awards 2022 and Gold at the Tequila & Mezcal Masters 2022.

Tasting Notes
The brand's notes cite citrus, vanilla, and a touch of warm earth with a brilliant finish. Tequila Matchmaker tasters add vanilla and cake-batter aromas alongside cooked agave, earth, and black pepper — a smooth, sipping-style blanco rather than a shooter.
How to Enjoy
This is built for sipping: neat or on the rocks. It also makes a cleaner, more agave-forward margarita or paloma than mixing-grade blancos.
