Review: Hermosa Organic Tequila Silver

by Jeff Ellingson

Hermosa Organic Tequila Silver is a certified organic, true farm to bottle artisan distilled small batch tequila.  Founder Will Elger wanted to create a brand based on the bottle of tequila given to his father using the original 1939 Hermosa Tequila recipe.  He selected Tequila Las Americas and Master Distiller Eladio Montes to craft the tequila.  This is a third generation family owned distillery and Eladio Montes is a third generation Master Distiller.  The organic Tequilana Weber Blue agave is grown on a family owned single estate 5000 feet above sea level.  The agave is grown in mineral rich rust colored volcanic soil for 8-12 years,  hand selected and hand trimmed based on its brix level.  The agave hearts are slow cooked and steamed in traditional stone ovens for 48 hours, and left in the oven to cool for another 24 hours to prevent the natural sugars from caramelizing.  Once extracted the juice is open air fermented for 5 days without the use of yeast, as yeast will impact the flavor of the organic agave.  Citrus trees surround the distillery and if there is an impact to the final nose and flavor profile of the finished product it is only that, as no artificial or natural additives are used.  Once fermented the spirit is small batch double distilled on a Alambique still.  Mineral rich water is added to bring to proof.  Hermosa Organic Tequila is committed to respecting the environment and sustainability.  For every bottle sold they will plant a tree.  Silver is currently the only Hermosa Tequila product available, but Hermosa tequila is currently barrel aging and when the time is right both Hermosa Reposado, and Hermosa Anejo will arrive.

  The aroma leads with fresh peeled citrus and steamed agave.  The fresh steamed agave entry gives way to citrus flavors that enhance but don’t overwhelm the obvious organic agave entry that builds to an orange fruit peak.  It fades with a soft creamy mouth feel that brings back more fresh agave taste, and with it subtle soft warm caramel.  The finish is flawless with just a sprinkle of pepper.  Hermosa is a very clean and fresh tasting tequila.  With each sip you can taste the passion of everyone involved in crafting this.
