PORFIDIO THE PLATA 1.75 (SPECIAL ORDER 1-2 WEEKS ON AVAILABILTY)

The Plata by Porfidio has been created with the blue agave purist in mind and is bottled fresh after distillation. Specifically, the spirit is not naturally mellowed through ageing in wood barrels and so preserved in its original state, fresh from the still. What sets The Plata by Porfidio (Super-Jalisco/Vintage 2019) apart when compared to common Blanco 100% Agave Tequila® is its greatly reduced methanol content, which results in extra smoothness. This is because we make The Plata from cold-pressed agave juice, which is enzymatically hydrolyzed; rather than from hot-pressed agave juice, which is heat hydrolyzed. Sipped by some, used as a premium cocktail ingredient by many, and consumed as "tequila shots" by others, there is no clearly defined "best enjoyed as" recommendation for this versatile, unaged, distilled spirit. SAME TO ALL OTHER PORFIDIO PRODUCTS Made from 100% Blue Agave, not simply 100% agave Made from first-growth blue agave from the geographically delimited Jalisco region Made from cold-pressed agave juice resulting in less than half the methanol content of the industry average for 100% Agave Tequila® (Vintage 2019 onwards) The cold-pressed agave juice is enzymatically hydrolyzed (instead of thermal hydrolysis) - Vintage 2019 onwards Distilled with a state-of-the-art German Holstein still 1.75L glass bottle with enclosed glass cactus figurine Natural-identical synthetic cork to avoid any cork taint UNIQUE TO THIS PRODUCT Not aged in oak barrels, but bottled fresh after distillation The total transparency of the liquid allows for ultra-clear visibility of the green cactus figurine and red cactus glass fruits The size of the cactus is beautifully magnified when the bottle is filled (visual effect)
