901 Silver Tequila

Produced in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, 901 Silver Tequila is triple distilled using the most innovative distillation methods available for fine Tequila. Perfected with over three generations of craftsmanship and more than 60 years of experience, 901 Silver is hand crafted in small batches allowing greater quality control of the Tequila. To maintain the highest level of quality, only 100% Blue Weber Agave, water, and proprietary yeast are used in 901 Tequila’s production process.

Brand History:
May, 2009 - Singer and businessman, Justin Timberlake, launches 901 Tequila.

Why the name 901? 901 is that time of night when your evening is ending, but your night is just beginning. It is also a subtle nod to his hometown area code for Memphis, where Timberlake grew up.

Hey! It's 9:01PM! Time for tequila! Yawn. The "party" concept of this tequila is lame. However the taste is actually pretty good. Not great, but good. It's triple distilled and you can tell. Very crisp, clean flavor. But even with the crisp flavor it's not exactly a home run.

Tasted out of a snifter. This blanco is good. It doesn't blow me away, and it doesn't stand out either. Almost drinks like a vodka. I'm a big believer in the history of tequila being part of a presentation, and I don't see any of that here. So much for raising awareness. While I can't recommend it, I can't un-recommend it either.

Aroma: A grapefruit aroma with slight floral.
Initial Taste: A slightly sweet entry. A thin mouth feel with no bitterness. Initial taste of agave.
Body: A light agave body, again with the slight floral and EVER so slight cream.
Finish: A slightly heated finish with a subtle floral lingering.
