Review: Tequila Revolucion Silver

Review: Tequila Revolucion Silver

I don’t know if the revolucion will be televised, but it does seem to be arriving by way of Mexico.

Tequila Revolucion is a lowlands tequila from the El Arenal region of Jalisco. 100% agave, naturally, and bottled at 80 proof. While a full range of expressions is available, we sampled only the silver.

Revolucion has a very strong agave nose, and I was set up for an agave bomb in the palate department. Not the case. On the tongue, that agave melts into a tequila with creamy vanilla and creme brulee character. There’s herbal and fresh flower notes in the mid-palate, along with white pepper. Some lemon on the tongue, too, and a long finish that recalls agave, cinnamon, and more pepper.

As with many tequilas, Revolucion opens up as you let it aerate, which help some of its deeper nuances reveal themselves.

80 proof.
