The Jaime family has been growing agave in Mexico for more than 100 years. Starting with Pascual Jaime supervising the Sauza family plantation from 1905 to 1935. After the Mexican revolution, he was granted a parcel of land and started growing blue agave in the volcanic highlands of Arandas, Jalisco. Zircon Azul is the current version of this very old family recipe
The nose of Zircon Azon Plata is ripe pineapple sweet with hints of green and white pepper. You can certainly smell the sweetness of the agave with a slight vegetal greenness and spice at the end. A nicely balanced combination.
The mid-palate is fresh agave, with a hint of spicy nutmeg and a mineral quality. Zircon Azul Plata finishes lightly dry, smooth with peppery heat and a balance of fresh fruit and spice. With its complexity and balance, this is obviously a high-quality tequila worth sipping neat or with an ice cube.
