What Is
Plata Tequila?
In the fascinating world of tequila, Plata (Spanish for “silver”) represents the spirit in its most vibrant and unadulterated state. It’s the purest expression of the Blue Weber agave, bottled shortly after distillation, either unaged or briefly rested in neutral containers. This process ensures the bright, crisp character of the cooked agave remains at the forefront, untouched by the influence of wood.
While the term is often used interchangeably with Blanco (“white”), Plata may occasionally undergo brief resting or filtration processes to subtly round out its edges, offering a whisper of softness without compromising the agave’s raw character. The result is an aromatically expressive and brilliantly clear spirit, with notes of citrus, peppery spice, and the unmistakable sweetness of the agave itself.
Plata tequila’s clean, vibrant flavor makes it a favorite among mixologists and purists. It’s the go-to bottle for cocktails that demand agave-forward intensity. And when crafted flawlessly, it can reveal enough finesse for sipping, especially for those who appreciate tequila in its most elemental form.
The Luna Malvada
Plata Experience
There’s silver tequila – and then there’s Luna Malvada Plata. Born under the same moonlit ritual that defines the brand’s mystique, this expression captures agave in its most luminous form. Only a limited number of the hand-picked Blue Weber agave have the quality needed to produce Luna Malvada. Honoring ancestral lore, this sacred harvest occurs during the seven-day full moon cycle, an extended energetic window believed to influence the plant’s vitality.
The select agave is then slow-roasted in traditional brick ovens, fermented in open-air tanks kissed by the Jalisco breeze, and distilled with obsessive precision. Unaged and unmasked, Luna Malvada Plata is a blend of ancestral wisdom, spiritual alignment, and terroir science, bottled to celebrate elemental purity and agave craftsmanship.
Whether poured neat, splashed over ice, or stirred into a cocktail that demands character, Luna Malvada Plata is crafted to be a ritual that awakens the senses and honors the spirit.
