Grand Mayan Tequila is known for its super-premium offerings, and their Silver Triple Distilled expression (also sometimes simply called Grand Mayan Silver) is a key part of their portfolio
Key Characteristics:
- Triple Distillation: This is the defining feature, as indicated by its name. While many tequilas are double-distilled, triple distillation is less common. The aim of extra distillation is often to create a smoother, purer, and lighter spirit by removing more impurities.
- Blanco/Silver Tequila: As a silver (Blanco) tequila, it is unaged, meaning it goes directly from distillation to bottling (or rests for a very short period in stainless steel, typically less than 60 days). This allows the pure agave character to shine through without the influence of wood aging.
- Agave Source: Grand Mayan Tequila uses 100% Blue Weber Agave, specifically sourced from the central highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is slowly cooked in traditional stone and brick ovens.
- Tasting Notes (Official):
- Aroma: Fresh agave, citrus (sometimes described as grapefruit).
- Taste: Fresh agave, citrus, with a very smooth profile.
- Finish: Often described as smooth and quick, with faint notes of white pepper and grapefruit.
- Versatility: Grand Mayan promotes its Silver tequila as being excellent for sipping on its own due to its smoothness, but also mixing flawlessly into cocktails.
The Unique Bottle:
One of the most distinctive aspects of Grand Mayan Tequila is its handcrafted, hand-painted ceramic Talavera bottles. These bottles are individually numbered and decorated by local Mexican artists in Mexico City, making each one a unique piece of art.
