In a recent test conducted by the Academy of Tequila, the official
tasting board of Mexico, Partida Tequila rated the highest aggregate
score. This is no surprise to tequila fanciers. To them, tequila
should be appreciated slowly, with the same care and thoughtfulness
as a fine cognac or single malt whiskey. Here are some notes on how
to taste and savor premium tequila:
Partida Tequila shows its character and
refinement from the moment it is poured, clinging to the glass like
a fine wine. Begin your Partida Tequila tasting by breathing in its
enticing aroma. Then observe its beautiful color and striation.
Finally, sip slowly to enjoy its rich, pure, exceptionally smooth
taste with a hint of sweetness that is the hallmark of Partida
Tequila. The Partida Estate produces three unique premium Tequilas:
Blanco, Reposado and Añejo.
Partida Blanco (Not Aged)
Redolent of blue agave, Partida Blanco is brilliant, clean and
crisp; very floral, with notes of citrus. Well balanced with a
fresh, pure agave flavor and a pleasant finish that lingers gently
on the palate.
Partida Reposado (Aged Six Months)
Partida Reposado is smooth and rich with Partida’s signature touch
of sweetness. Aged in French Canadian oak, Partida Reposado delivers
nuances of flavor tequila drinkers may not have thought possible
without the overbearing smoky flavor common to so many Reposados.
Beautiful light amber color with golden tones, transparent, clean
and full bodied. Aromas of chocolate and vanilla, hazelnut and
almond, and a deep, rich finish.
Partida Añejo (Aged 18 Months)
Partida Añejo exhibits a depth of flavor that only comes from
advanced aging. It has intense golden color with ochre and copper
tones and is clean and full-bodied, with a fruity aroma exhibiting
notes of cherry, almond and spices. The flavor has soft honey fruit
tones, with hints of spices and dried fruits reminiscent of sweet
pear and almond, and a very pleasant finish. Tequila to be savored
slowly. |
