Clear color. Aromas and flavors of lemon verbena, under ripe pear, dry ramen noodles, just the noodles, and black pepper with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish displaying notes of orange cream, vanilla and black pepper, pineapple skin, and green herbs. Delightful aromas and a delicate palate, ideal for a nondrinker to mix away or a seasoned drinker to enjoy neat.

Silver or Blanco/White Tequilas are clear, with little (no more than 60 days in stainless steel tanks) or no aging. They can be either 100% agave or mixto. Silver Tequilas are used primarily for mixing and blend particularly well into fruit-based drinks.
