TEQUILA TASTING

A Tequila tasting consists of carrying out a sensory examination through which the unique organoleptic characteristics of the drink can be appreciated, which come mainly from the raw material: the Agave.

A Tequila tasting allows you to discover the qualities of each of the categories and classes , making use of the senses in 3 stages:

• Visual: body, colors and nuances are analyzed.
• Olfactory: how the aromas are perceived.
• Taste: the flavors are reaffirmed on the palate.

SILVER (BLANCO O PLATA)
