Lots of agave in this one with vegetal and mint notes. Cinnamon and citrus. Pleasantly surprised by this one especially at this great price point

Nice clean nose with lemon rind black pepper and a hint of mint. Really solid flavor with much of the same characteristics of the nose. Nice mouthfeel. A clean finish with a little heat from the high proof.

Agave all day on the nose. Citrus, minerality and a hint of honey on the taste. Does not drink like a high proof

This 94 proof plata has a clean nose with aromas of buttery / creamy cooked agave, citrus zest, minerals, faint honeysuckle and a hint of white pepper. On the palate I taste cooked agave, orange zest, white pepper and some minerals with a touch of salinity. The alcohol is present but it’s clean and it helps to deliver a pleasant combination of flavors. Overall this is a good clean high proof plata that has some nice intensity without being overwhelming or too strong. It’s also very affordable for a higher proof spirit. This could be an introductory high proof sipper or it could elevate your tequila cocktails. Either way I recommend you try it for yourself.
