Review: Republic Organic Plata Tequila
Republic Organic Plata Tequila was introduced July 2009. Unlike most spirits, Republic Tequila was developed after the bottle was designed.

The 100% blue agave is organic and sourced from an estate owned by Melendrez and his sister. The agave is slow cooked in traditional stone ovens and then mechanically shredded to extract the juice. The juice is fermented with a proprietary yeast and distilled in small batches. Once distilled the tequila rests for 3-5 days before bottling in a State of Texas shaped bottle. Read more
