  Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila Mexico 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 22227865479-10167

  2,100 metres above sea level, where the soil runs red with volcanic ash and the air turns thin, blue agave grows slower and sweeter. Here, in the highlands of Los Altos de Jalisco, two travelling bartenders and a local maestro tequilero came together on a recipe that became Olmeca Altos Plata.

  Expert Description

  Olmeca Altos Plata is a 100% agave Mexican Blanco Tequila, bottled at 38%.

  The tequila comes from the Destilería Colonial de Jalisco distillery in the town of Arandas, deep in the Los Altos highlands, where the agave is left to mature for seven to eight years in mineral-rich volcanic soil. Olmeca Altos was founded in 2009, when bartenders Henry Besant and Dre Masso travelled to Jalisco and teamed up with maestro tequilero Jesús Hernández, who still leads production today. The agave is slow-cooked in brick ovens for three days, then crushed using both the centuries-old tahona stone and a modern roller mill, a combination that gives the tequila both punch and smoothness. The Plata expression is bottled straight after distillation in copper stills, with no ageing, so the pure character of the agave shines through.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Cooked agave meets sweet, fruity candied orange and a zesty tang, spiced with a touch of vanilla, caramel and soft woody undertones.

  Palate

  Well-balanced, with vibrant lime, delicate herbal tones and a fresh character that lets the agave carry through.

  Finish

  Crisp and clean, with a last trace of citrus that lingers long after the final sip.

  Olmeca Altos Reposado Tequila Mexico 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 22227865479-10166

  In 2009, two world-famous bartenders sat down with a Maestro Tequilero in the highlands of Jalisco to make tequila the old-fashioned way, without shortcuts. The result was Olmeca Altos — and the Reposado expression has since grown into the house’s most awarded bottle.

  Expert Description

  Olmeca Altos Reposado is a Mexican 100% Agave Reposado Tequila aged 6 to 8 months in used bourbon oak barrels at 38% ABV.

  The Altos range was created by two internationally renowned bartenders together with a Maestro Tequilero who insisted on following traditional methods to the letter. The agave is grown in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, hand-harvested and slow-roasted in brick ovens before being distilled in copper stills. Unlike Olmeca Silver and Reposado, the Altos range is made entirely from blue agave with no added sugar syrup, and the Reposado expression has won a long list of medals at international spirits competitions since its launch.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Cooked agave with sweet, fruity notes of candied orange, lifted by vanilla, caramel and soft wood.

  Palate

  Silky and well-balanced, with sweet orange, toasted nuts and cooked agave.

  Finish

  Warm and long-lasting.

  Olmeca Blanco Tequila Mexico 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 22227865479-10164

  In the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, where the air runs thin and the soil is volcanic, the blue agave plants that become Olmeca Silver are grown. This is tequila without detours — crisp, fresh and straight to the point, exactly as it should be when the glasses come out.

  Expert Description

  Olmeca Silver is a Mexican Silver Tequila made from blue agave, bottled at 35% ABV.

  The Olmeca brand was founded in 1967 and has been part of spirits giant Pernod Ricard since 2001. The tequila is distilled by Destilería Colonial de Jalisco in the Los Altos highlands, where the agave is hand-harvested and slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens before being distilled in copper stills. Olmeca Silver is not a 100% agave tequila — it is a blend of agave and sugar syrup, known as a Mixto tequila — and it is neither aged nor coloured, giving it its crystal-clear, unaged character.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh and herbal with a hint of green pepper, rounded off by soft citrus notes.

  Palate

  Sweet and herbal-fresh, finishing with a note of soft honey.

  Finish

  A light tingle of white pepper.

  Olmeca Reposado Tequila Mexico 35%

  Item no.: 22227865479-10165

  After distillation, Olmeca Reposado is left to rest in used bourbon barrels, where the golden colour and soft, smoky notes slowly work their way into the tequila. It’s the same raw agave power as the Silver expression, just rounded off with a little time and a little oak.

  Expert Description

  Olmeca Reposado is a Mexican Reposado Tequila made from blue agave and rested for at least 5 months in used bourbon oak barrels at 35% ABV.

  Like Olmeca Silver, it is distilled by Destilería Colonial de Jalisco in the Los Altos highlands, where the Olmeca brand has produced tequila since 1967 — today as part of Pernod Ricard. Olmeca Reposado is a Mixto tequila, a blend of blue agave and sugar syrup, but the brief rest in oak gives it a golden colour and a rounder, softer character than the clear Silver expression.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Cooked agave, sweetness, oak and light notes of vanilla and honey, with a hint of smoky chocolate.

  Palate

  Sweet with a touch of smoke and peppery spice.

  Finish

  Leaves a final trace of white pepper and agave.

  Did You Know?

  Did you know Olmeca Reposado only becomes what it is after resting for at least 5 months in barrels that previously held bourbon? It’s exactly this rest — reposado means "rested" in Spanish — that gives the tequila its golden colour and rounded character.
