This is one of the most unique, traditional, and yet avante garde (in a particular fashion) tequilas in the store. Importer's notes: "The second batch from the legendary Santa Rita Fabrica uses 100% Agave Azul (Agave Tequilana), also known as Blue Weber, the only variety certified by the CRT for use in modern Tequila. Agave hearts are cooked in the same historic brick ovens the family has used since 1873, and milled with a stone tahona. Released only as a Plata, or Silver, under the designation Destilado de Agave, this bottle is both delicious and historic. One taste reveals why this distillery is consistently the most highly rated Tequila producer in Jalisco without the actual word 'Tequila' on the label."
