El Viejito Plata Fuerte Tequila

El Viejito Plata Fuerte is a still-strength (50% ABV, 100 proof), additive-free blanco tequila from Tequila El Viejito (NOM 1107), a family-owned distillery operating in Atotonilco, in the Jalisco Highlands, since 1937. Fermented in closed stainless steel tanks and double-distilled through a stainless-copper hybrid still, this expression carries the distillery's tagline Intensamente Generoso — a declaration of the concentrated, assertive character that comes from an unaged spirit bottled without compromise or additives.

The Highlands origin is unmistakable: a concentrated burst of raw agave opens immediately, followed by bright citrus zest — lime and grapefruit — and a pronounced, layered peppery spice. Mineral earthiness anchors the mid-palate, grounding the citrus heat. The finish is long and warming, with pepper and agave lingering well past the last sip.

A compelling choice for the agave enthusiast who prefers substance over restraint, and a distinctive gift for anyone building a serious tequila collection.
