Avion Silver 375ML is a 100% Blue Weber Agave blanco tequila bottled at 40% ABV in a 375ml format. This expression earned Double Gold at the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and was named Best Unaged White Spirit and World's Best Tequila at the 2012 competition — credentials that place it among the most decorated blancos on the market.Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 Proof) | Origin: Jalisco, Mexico | Blanco / Unaged | Distillery: Productos Finos de Agave S.A. de C.V. (NOM 1416)Production & HeritageAvion Silver is produced at the Productos Finos de Agave distillery in the highlands (Los Altos) of Jalisco, Mexico, near Jesús María. The brand maintains its own dedicated, closed-off production areas within the facility, including 24-ton hornos — traditional brick ovens — used exclusively for slow-roasting their Blue Weber Agave. After roasting, the agave is distilled in copper pot stills and then subjected to an ultra-slow charcoal filtration process, which strips harshness while preserving the expressive agave character that defines the Silver expression.Tasting NotesAroma: Fresh, vibrant agave leads, followed by lime zest and white pepper. Subtle floral and herbal undertones develop as the spirit opens up in the glass.Taste: The entry is slightly oily, lending immediate body and texture. The mid-palate brings roasted agave, pineapple, and lemon, layered with light minerality and a savory quality reminiscent of sweet olive brine. Black pepper and a whisper of vanilla round out the peak.Finish: Clean and refreshing, with sweet agave lingering alongside gentle spice. The finish is moderate in length, tapering into citrus and a dry, peppery fade.How to Drink Avion SilverSipped neat or over a single large ice cube, Avion Silver reveals its full agave complexity and oily texture. It also performs exceptionally well in cocktails where a clean, expressive blanco is essential. A Margarita benefits from the tequila's bright citrus and peppery backbone, creating a balanced, fruit-forward drink. In a Paloma, the grapefruit and pineapple notes in the spirit amplify the cocktail's effervescent character. A Ranch Water — tequila, lime, and sparkling mineral water — highlights Avion Silver's minerality and crisp finish without any competing sweetness.Best For Stocking a home bar with a versatile, award-winning blanco tequila in a convenient half-bottle format Bringing a quality spirit to a small gathering or dinner party without overcommitting on volume Sampling a premium blanco before committing to a full 750ml bottle Mixing elevated margaritas and palomas at home Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does Avion Silver taste like?
