What is Abre Ojos Silver Tequila?

Abre Ojos Silver Tequila offers a crisp, clean taste with notes of citrus and pepper, making it an excellent choice for cocktails or sipping neat. Interestingly, the name "Abre Ojos" translates to "open eyes" in English, reflecting the brand's mission to awaken drinkers to the rich traditions of Mexican tequila craftsmanship.

Why do we love Abre Ojos Silver Tequila?

Cocktail enthusiasts should take note of Abre Ojos Silver Tequila for its unique production method that includes a 24-hour fermentation with agave fibers, resulting in a distinctively rich, vegetal flavor profile. This unaged tequila also stands out for its use of a blend of highland and lowland agaves, creating a harmonious balance between the floral notes typical of highland tequilas and the earthier characteristics found in lowland varieties.

How do you drink Abre Ojos Silver Tequila?

Abre Ojos Silver Tequila shines in refreshing citrus-forward cocktails, making it perfect for sipping poolside on hot summer days. Its crisp, herbaceous notes also make it a delightful companion to light seafood dishes like ceviche or grilled fish tacos, though it's equally enjoyable served neat or over ice for those who appreciate its pure agave character.

Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Clean agave notes dominate, accompanied by hints of citrus zest and white pepper. A subtle herbaceous quality emerges, reminiscent of fresh-cut grass and mint leaves.

Palate: Smooth and crisp with a pronounced agave sweetness. Light vanilla and almond flavors blend with bright citrus notes of lime and grapefruit. A gentle spiciness builds, bringing to mind cracked black pepper and cinnamon.

Finish: Medium-length and warming. The peppery spice lingers, balanced by residual agave sweetness. A slight mineral quality appears, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste with hints of lemon peel and fresh herbs.

Abre Ojos Silver Tequila is crafted using traditional methods, with agave piñas roasted in brick ovens before being crushed by a tahona stone wheel. What sets it apart is the use of natural spring water from the distillery's own artesian well, which lends a distinct minerality and crisp finish to the final product.

Abre Ojos Silver Tequila is made using a rare, centuries-old Aztec fermentation technique involving burying agave hearts in underground pits lined with volcanic rocks. This process imparts a subtle, smoky minerality to the final spirit.

The distillery employs a resident "agave whisperer" who uses traditional biodynamic practices, including playing classical music to the agave plants, which they claim enhances the plants' growth and flavor development.

Each bottle of Abre Ojos Silver Tequila contains a tiny, hand-painted ceramic eye charm at the bottom, inspired by the brand name which means "open eyes" in Spanish. Collecting these unique charms has become a popular pastime among tequila enthusiasts.
