La Fabulosa TEQUILA de Diego and Maria Tequila Silver 70 cl

Description

Casa Diego & Maria Silver: Traditional Mexican Tequila from Jalisco

A Silver Tequila Inspired by Mexican Culture

La Casa Diego & Maria Silver is a tequila produced in the Mexican state of Jalisco, one of the country's most important tequila-producing regions.

The spirit is made using Weber blue agave and represents the original expression in the Casa Diego & Maria range.

Its character is defined by fresh agave flavours, herbal aromas and a gently peppery finish.

The bottle's colourful label is inspired by the Mexican Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead.

It tells the symbolic story of Diego and Maria through the joyful and difficult moments of their lives.

Blue Agave Harvested at Maturity

The agave plants used for this tequila grow in Jalisco, approximately 100 kilometres from Guadalajara.

They are harvested by hand after reaching maturity, usually between seven and eight years.

The leaves are removed to expose the central hearts, known as piñas.

These hearts are heated to convert the plant's natural reserves into fermentable sugars.

The cooked agave is then crushed, and the extracted juice undergoes fermentation.

This process develops the aromatic compounds that contribute to the finished tequila.

Double Distillation in Copper Stills

After fermentation, the liquid is distilled twice in copper stills.

According to the distributor, the spirit reaches approximately 55% alcohol by volume after the second distillation.

This process concentrates the alcohol and shapes the aromatic profile of the tequila.

The distillate is then transferred to stainless steel tanks.

Six Months of Resting in Stainless Steel

Casa Diego & Maria Silver rests for six months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

This period allows the spirit's aromatic components to integrate.

Unlike oak maturation, stainless steel does not contribute woody flavours or colour.

The tequila therefore retains its clear appearance and direct expression of cooked agave.

It is bottled at 38% ABV.

Tasting Notes: Cooked Agave, Herbs and Pepper

The appearance is clear and crystalline.

The nose reveals fresh herbal aromas, with cooked agave as the dominant note.

On the palate, the tequila is balanced and expressive.

Fresh agave flavours provide the main character, supported by a gentle warmth.

The finish is persistent, with a delicate peppery touch.

Cocktail Suggestions

Casa Diego & Maria Silver is particularly well suited to cocktails.

For a classic Margarita, combine the tequila with fresh lime juice and orange liqueur.

A Paloma highlights its fresh agave character through grapefruit and sparkling water.

It can also be used in a Tequila Sunrise with orange juice and grenadine.

The tequila may be enjoyed neat or slightly chilled to appreciate its herbal and agave aromas.
