Milagro Select Barrel Silver Tequila (750Ml)

Milagro Select Barrel Reserve Silver is the top blanco in the Milagro range. It starts with 100% estate-grown blue agave from the Jalisco Highlands. The piñas roast slowly in traditional clay ovens for around 36 hours. The tequila is then triple distilled. It is produced under NOM 1559.

Here is the twist. Most silver tequilas go straight into the bottle. This one rests for about 45 days on average in American and French oak barrels. It is then filtered to take out all of the color. What you see is a brilliant, clear spirit with platinum hues.

The nose is fresh and floral, with grapefruit and a cool hint of mint. On the palate, bright agave meets soft vanilla, black pepper and more mint. The finish is clean and dry.

It has collected a long list of medals. Highlights include Double Gold at the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. It also won Gold there in 2008 and 2009. Add Gold at the 2010 International Wine & Spirit Competition and Silver in San Francisco in 2020.

Sip it neat or on the rocks to taste the agave. It also makes a smooth Margarita or Paloma and suits other premium cocktails. Pair it with ceviche, grilled shrimp or light fish tacos. The hand-blown crystal bottle makes it a fine gift too.
