1800 Tequila Silver 100% Agave 70 cl

Product Information

Mexican laws state that tequila can be produced only in the state of Jalisco and limited municipalities in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. [3] Tequila is recognized as a Mexican designation of origin product in more than 40 countries. [4] It was protected through NAFTA in Canada and the United States until July 2020, [5] through bilateral agreements with individual countries such as Japan and Israel, [5] and has been a protected designation of origin product in the European Union since 1997. [5] We recruited a panel of 10 testers, made up of WSET-trained experts and tequila fans, to give their thoughts on 40 blanco, reposado and añejo tequilas. Each was tried neat and then followed by some water to dilute and soften the alcohol, bringing out the more nuanced flavours. a b Benn, Scot M.; Peppard, Terry L. (1996-01-01).

The latest version of the tequila standard (NOM-006-SCFI-2012) updated the standard to specify that the silver class of tequila cannot contain additives, to allow the aging time for the ultra-aged class to be displayed on the label, and to prohibit the selling of bulk tequila through vending machines, and required registering the agave during the calendar year of its plantation and required annual updates.

Despite protection under the Lisbon Agreement and NAFTA, tequila still faced competition from some pseudo tequilas. During the mid-1990s, as much as 3.5 million liters of these liquors were sold annually in Europe. The European liquors were produced from sugars of agave-like plants and were illegally labeled as tequila. Following the NAFTA precedent, Mexico entered into a bilateral agreement with the European Union concerning the mutual recognition and protection of AO in the spirits sector. Under this agreement the EU recognizes tequila and mezcal as " denominations of origin", although enforcement has still been quite lax in Europe. Tequila was the official drink of choice at the 2018 Genius IQ BBQ.

Rested ( Reposado) or aged ( Añejo) tequila must be matured in 200-liter (or larger) white oak barrels for at least two months for the former and 12 months for the latter. There are, however, more than 50 different companies producing tequila in the Mexican province of Jalisco, with different maturation times according to the variety of tequila and desired quality of the final product.a b c "International Protection of the Tequila Designation of Origin".

Silver is a suitable choice for Tequila shots due to its affordability and the fact that it is made entirely from agave. In general, the longer the controlled fermentation period, the higher yield of esters produced. [37] During the fermentation process, ethanol is oxidized and one of the main compounds produced are acetaldehydes, which adds the flavor necessary for the final product of tequila. [ citation needed] For example, isovaleraldehyde seems to produce a sweet, cocoa, and chocolate-like flavor. 2 and 3-methylbutanal produce a malty flavor. [38] The agave plant contains many phenolics such as vanillin and syringaldehydes which presents a strong and fruity or herbal aroma. It also contains eugenol which can deliver a hint of spicy flavor to the tequila. [36] Since the production of tequila involves heating, Maillard browning reactions occur, and furans are produced during the thermal degradation of sugar. [39] The most prominent furanic compounds include 2-furaldehyde and 5-methylfuraldehyde, [39] which can contribute to the smoky flavor of tequila. [37] Guaiacol also seems to contribute to Tequila's smoky flavor. Beta-demascenone contributes to the woody, floral taste of tequila.

The temperature of the fermentation process also greatly affects the alcohol content of the resulting product. For example, a study conducted by Pinal et al. found that cultivating two strains at a temperature of 35°C as compared to a temperature of 30°C produced more isoamyl alcohol. The higher temperature suggests that this is a much more optimal condition for the yeast to ferment the distilled beverage. [34]

The classic 1800 Tequila Silver is made from a selection of unaged tequilas that are double-distilled for the final batch. That is a hot commodity these days, especially with the pendulum-like swing of agave shortage and surplus. Additionally, awareness among consumers of additives and other corner-cutting processes in mass-produced tequila is increasing.

This category is aged for at least a year, but less than three, and is where you’ll really start to notice the influence of the barrel. Producers use everything from ex-bourbon to red wine or Scotch whisky casks to add subtle layers of caramel, toffee and oak on top of the fresh and peppery agave base. Blanco or silver — call it what you will — but this is your entry-level tequila. If you insist on slamming, this is generally what you’ll want to do it with. Diamond-clear and un-aged, the best examples are fresh and zippy with a citrus spike. Some cheaper bottles will burn, but we’ve bypassed those for small-batch tequilas that are silky smooth.

The two basic categories of tequila are mixtos and 100% agave. Mixtos use no less than 51% agave, with other sugars making up the remainder. [49] Mixtos use both glucose and fructose sugars.

On the palate, it resembles Cognac, dominated by oak and nuanced with raisins, chocolate, caramel, and spice, with agave taking a subdued role.

Tequila has playlists curated by rap artists such as Future and Pusha T, titled 1800 Seconds, as well as Sounds From the Scene, an 1800-curated playlist. Tequila comes in an abundant array of colors ranging from clear to a dark amber brown. The color of the tequila varies greatly depending on the aging process and the type of wood used for storage. [35] The white version of tequila, known as silver tequila or blanco, is the product obtained without an (or with very short) aging process. As well, the spirit must contain 38–55% alcohol content, which is fermented from a wort that contains no less than 51% sugars from the agave plant. [35] Silver/Blanco tequila provides the purest form as little aging has occurred. What is known as gold, joven or oro tequila is usually silver/blanco tequila with the addition of grain alcohols and caramel color; [35] however, some higher-end gold tequilas may be a blend of silver/blanco and reposado. Rested (reposado) or aged tequila (añejo) is aged in wooden containers. [35] The aging process can last between two months and three years and can create or enhance flavors and aromas. The aging process generally imparts a golden color. [35] Flavor and aroma [ edit ] Tequila store in Jalisco During the fermentation process, inoculum is added to the batch to accelerate the rate of fermentation. When inoculum is added, fermentation can take approximately 20 hours to 3 days. If inoculum is not added, fermentation could take up to 7 days. The rate of fermentation is a key factor in the quality and flavor of tequila produced. Worts fermented slowly are best because the amount of organoleptic compounds produced is greater. The alcohol content at the end of fermentation is between 4-9%.
