What is blanco?
Blanco · Spanish
Unaged or barely rested tequila or mezcal, clear and bright, the version that tastes most like the agave itself. Also called plata or silver.

Sharp, peppery and green, with cooked agave sweetness and a hint of citrus. No barrel flavor to hide behind.
Where you’ll see it
Tequila and mezcal lists, and the default pour in margaritas, palomas and most agave cocktails.
