The Purest Expression of the Smoke
Where the Ahumado Reposado lets oak round the edges, the Silver shows the technique bare: mesquite-roasted agave, tahona extraction, copper-pot distillation, and straight into the bottle. It is the bottling for the curious — the one that answers the question of what smoke does to tequila without oak in the way. Sweet cooked agave, tropical fruit, and confectioners' sugar ride over a clean, restrained mesquite line, making it as compelling neat as it is dangerous in a smoked margarita.

Tasting Notes
Sweet cooked agave opens with papaya, mango, and confectioners' sugar, threaded with clean, restrained mesquite smoke. The entry is lively and light — pear and apple sweetness giving way to grapefruit and lemon, with subtle chocolate, mineral, and light black pepper underneath, and an ashy smokiness that builds gradually.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a copita to study the smoke, or as the base of a Smoked Margarita with fresh lime — the unaged profile keeps cocktails bright.
