El Rayo Plata Tequila 5cl | The Gin Box Shop

El Rayo - Plato Tequila - 5cl / 40% ABV

There are over 200 varieties of agave but by law only the blue agave can be used in the production of tequila, and the agave in this tequila takes eights years to grow. 

We don't claim to know a lot about tequila, but this is inspiring us to learn more; this is one tasty and refreshing beverage. If you are new to trying tequila, or had a bad experience of tequila shots in your younger years (let's face it, that's quite a few of us). then start your journey here. This is a gateway to a new world. 

We love this clear tequila - also pairs well with gin and elderflower and a sparkling wine: Sounds heavy, it is but it doesn't taste it.

"El Rayo" translates as "lightening" - it is said that the firs tequila was created by ightening striking an agave plant and under the high heat, cooking it and creating this very unique spirit. 

So, this explains the awesome artwork on the El Rayo bottle, just stunning. 

The Taste

A very bright, acute tang of tequila with a citrus and herbal flavour profile and a distinct pepperiness. Bang, thunderstruck!
