Plantador Silver Tequila
40% ABV (80 proof) | 700mL | Additive-free blanco | NOM 1414 — Plantador Silver is an additive-free blanco from Destilería el Ranchito (NOM 1414) in Arandas, Los Altos, Jalisco, made with maestro tequilero Sergio Cruz: 100% estate-grown Blue Weber agave harvested at 6–8 years, cooked in brick ovens, crushed by roller mill, fermented with the open-air "Mozart method," and double-distilled in copper pot stills. Imported to the US by Skurnik Wines & Spirits. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Old-school Los Altos character in the glass: sweet cooked agave and white pepper on the nose, a round palate of honey, citrus blossom, and fresh earth, and a clean finish with a pleasant mineral snap. Among blanco tequilas, Plantador Silver drinks like the bottle the locals keep — honest, additive-free, and built for palomas and margaritas as much as sipping. Additive-free verified: no colorants, flavorings, or sweeteners.
