Partida Blanco, 100% Agave Tequila - Mexico

BOW for the Week of: June 9 to June 15, 2010

Our very first Beverage of the Week at BevX was the great Reposado from Partida. Now we feature its equally tasty sibling, Partida Blanco. By now, BevX readers know that we love real 100% Agave Tequila.

Without question, real Tequila is hotter than ever with no end in sight to its popularity. Once someone experiences a quality 100% Blue Agave Tequila there is no turning back to a cheap gold Tequila shot with a lick of salt and a lime wedge.

Partida Tequila is a relatively new brand and without a doubt it is one of the most exciting brands to be launched in recent years. They utilize a clever combination of old and new techniques to create Tequila that is lush, clean, and expressive delivered in a cool, sleek, and modern bottle.

Tasting Notes:

Crystal clear. The nose offers rustic, wild herb notes with capers, book leather, and tropical fruits. The palate entry is soft and seductive and opens to a lush, sweet, semi-viscous mid-palate that exhibits the pure essence of agave. It finishes with a bang of white and black pepper with lime zest and grilled pineapple. A great cocktail Tequila and a great solo sipper. $49.95
