{"product_id":"hornitos-plata-tequila","title":"Hornitos Plata Tequila 750 ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHornitos Plata is a 100% blue agave blanco tequila from Tequila, Jalisco — founded in 1950 by Don Francisco Javier Sauza in honor of Mexican Independence Day and named for the \"little ovens\" (hornitos) used to roast agave in the traditional process, producing the clean, lively agave flavor with floral, herbal, and fruity citrus character that defines the brand's unaged expression.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sauza family's tequila lineage traces back to the 19th century — Don Francisco Javier Sauza founding Hornitos in 1950 as a separate brand from the family's larger Sauza enterprise, dedicated to producing 100% blue agave tequila at a time when many producers were blending with non-agave sugars. Hornitos Plata is bottled immediately after distillation without aging, preserving the true agave character: the floral and herbal notes of the roasted agave combined with the fresh citrus brightness of the raw spirit. Clean, dry finish without the sweetness that barrel aging introduces — the correct base for a Paloma (tequila, grapefruit soda, lime) where the agave character needs to cut through the citrus mixer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral and herbal with fruity citrus — pure 100% blue agave character\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean, lively, and medium-bodied with a slightly citrus note and smooth, dry finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brief, warm, and clean — the agave freshness persisting without heat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hornitos, Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico (est. 1950)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFounder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Don Francisco Javier Sauza\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Blue Weber\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanco Tequila\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/blanco\"\u003eblanco tequila at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat does \"Hornitos\" mean?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Little ovens\" in Spanish — referring to the traditional agave-roasting ovens used in tequila production.
