Let's try @fosforospirits NEW Blanco Tequila! Fosforo is typically known for their mezcal, but recently released a new blanco tequila. Coming out of NOM 1499, they cook their agaves in low pressure autoclaves, crush them using a roller mill, and ferment it all in open stuinless steel tanks using champagne yeast. On the nose I get a big hit of sweet agave, bright lemon peel, some minerality and a few light floral notes On the palate, you get that sweet agave along with that lemon and citrus peel, there's a tiny bit of black pepper and minerality and I get those floral notes at the end. Overall, this is a really easy sipper, it's bright, clean, and super approachable especially if yo are just dipping your toes into the tequila world. I also really love the look of the bottle and for around $40 I think it's a great choice. Give it a try and let me know what you think. #tequila #agave #cocktails #cocktail #drinks

DO YOU KNOW THE 5 OFFICIAL CLASSES OF TEQUILA?? 1. Blanco or Silver: it's typically unaged, but can be rested or aged for up to 60 days and still be classified a blanco. 2. Joven or Gold: This is a mix of blanco tequila and any other aged expression. A lot of people associate gold tequila with those cheaper mixtos, but lately there have been some really great Joven tequilas that have been released. 3. Reposado: Reposado means "rested," and it has to spend at least 2 months aging in oak barrels. You'll start to get subtle barrel notes like vanilla, caramel, and spice while still keeping plenty of the agave character. 4. Añejo: This has to be aged for at least 1 year in oak, giving you a more barrel-forward tequila. 5. Extra Añejo: Aged for a minimum of 3 years in oak. #tequila #agave #cocktails #cocktail #drinks @Cazcanes Tequila
