Review: Tres Generaciones Plata Tequila
Tres Generaciones Plata tequila was created in 1973 to honor three successive generations of tequila makers in the Sauza family. It is made with 100% Blue agave that was hand nurtured in the nursery at the Sauza ranch for the first year, and then planted in the field until they reach their perfect ripeness. The pinas are shredded before heating removing the harsh tasting plant fibers before cooking. Once the agave juice is extracted it is fermented in sealed tanks to avoid contamination. Tres Generaciones Plata is triple distilled and then bottled and labeled by hand at the same distillery where the Sauza family began in 1873. Read more

Review: Avion Tequila Silver
Avion Tequila Silver was introduced in 2010. If the name sounds familiar it may be the exposer the brand received from the HBO series Entourage. The agave used to craft Avion is grown in the small town of Jesus Maria by the Lopez family, a fifth generation agave grower, at 7000 feet above sea level in the highest elevation of Jalisco Mexico. The hand selected agave is slow roasted for 3 days in brick ovens. After fermentation, distillation occurs in a traditional pot still. The Master Distiller removes the heads and tails of the distillate and the process is continuously repeated to ensure a smooth finish.

After distillation a proprietary ultra slow filtration taking 10 times longer than other tequila’s is used, before hand filling each bottle of Avion. Read more
