The best Silver Tequila in the world is Jose Cuervo ‘Platino’ according to
the findings of the authoritative Beverage Tasting Institute, which rated it
‘Superlative’ at 96/100 points, saying it “displays pure essence of blue agave
flavour”. It is lush and vibrant,
possessing delicate herbaceous aromas with vanilla and oak, and beautifully
balanced flavours of pepper and soft agave with a very smooth, mellow
finish. It is an authentic ‘Reserva de
la Familia’.
Casa Cuervo is a venerable firm, founded by Don Jose Antonio Cuervo, who
received a land grant from the King of Spain, after which he founded Latin
America’s oldest distillery at La Rojena, in the town of Tequila
in Mexico
in 1798. The ‘Platino’ is an
ultra-premium tequila, hand-crafted in every way by a process called “Essencia
de Agave”. It is made from the finest
hand-selected blue agave from the Valley
of Tequila and uses the
most favoursome hearts. ‘Platino’ is
bottled in replica hand-blown clear glass, each bottle sealed by hand-dipping
in wax and individually numbered. It
comes in an elegant lidded blue wooden box.
