Tequila Olmeca Altos Plata, the pure expression of agave in its natural state
Tequila Olmeca Altos Plata is the most direct and transparent expression within the Altos range. A blanco tequila that focuses on showcasing the authentic character of blue agave, without the influence of wood, offering a clean, fresh and highly expressive profile.
At Licorea, we consider it a key reference among quality blanco tequilas. It is a spirit designed both for sipping and for cocktail making, where agave is meant to be the true protagonist.
Blue agave from the Highlands of Jalisco
Olmeca Altos Plata is made exclusively from 100% Weber blue agave, grown in the Highlands of Jalisco. This higher-altitude region provides a climate and soils that favour sweeter, more aromatic and well-structured agaves.
The use of mature, carefully selected agave is essential to achieve a blanco tequila with a clear identity, where the raw material expresses itself without filters.
Traditional production using a tahona
One of the defining features of Olmeca Altos is its combination of traditional and modern techniques. Part of the agave is crushed using a volcanic stone tahona, a classic method that helps extract smoother and more complex flavours.
After cooking and fermentation, the tequila is distilled with precision to preserve the fresh, vegetal profile of the agave. As it is not aged in oak, Olmeca Altos Plata retains its varietal expression intact.
The result is a balanced, clean blanco tequila that remains true to its origin.
Character and sensory profile
In the glass, it appears crystal clear and bright, reflecting its purity and careful production.
On the nose, clear aromas of cooked agave stand out, with fresh notes and a lightly citrusy background that adds vibrancy.
On the palate, it is smooth and fresh. The agave is direct and well defined, accompanied by herbal nuances and a slightly sweet touch that balances the profile.
The finish is clean and persistent, leaving a refreshing sensation that invites another sip.
How to enjoy Tequila Olmeca Altos Plata
This tequila works very well neat, served chilled or at room temperature, allowing its fresh notes and natural balance to shine.
