Cosa Salvaje Blanco Hat Tequila

Cosa Salvaje Blanco Hat Tequila is a plata (blanco) tequila from Cosa Salvaje, the brand founded by Elle France in June 2015, presented here in its 'Hat' bottle. The producer describes an entirely handmade process: agave slow-cooked with wood over direct heat, crushed with a tahona, fermented with wild yeasts and distilled over low heat in copper pot stills. The plata is not aged but rested in stainless steel tanks, and is bottled from 100% agave at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle.

Tasting Notes: Crisp and agave-led with gentle sweetness.

Nose: Crisp, agave forward.

Palate: Slight sweetness with notes of fruit and honey.

Finish: Gentle, with a lingering sweetness.

Serve: Neat or chilled, or in a Paloma.
