On The Nose Fresh, crisp, and buzzing with citrus flavor, el Jimador Silver is made with 100% blue Weber agave and double distilled with sparkling clarity. No barrel aging prior to bottling, it's perfect for any occasion. As with all Herradura tequila, this starts as a crop of blue agave plants which are harvested and have their leaves removed.
