The journey of Sierra Silver Tequila begins with the meticulous selection of mature blue weber agave plants, harvested by skilled jimadores after 8 to 10 years of growth. These agaves are hand-picked to ensure only the finest quality piñas are used. The piñas undergo a gentle double distillation process in traditional copper pot stills, a method that preserves the agave’s natural flavours while achieving a smooth, clean spirit. Post-distillation, the tequila rests in stainless steel tanks, harmonising its character before being bottled.
