Blanco tequila, also known as 'silver' or 'plata', is most usually colourless transparent tequila but not necessarily so as these 'unaged' tequilas may be aged in oak or Holm oak for up to 60 days. Although blanco tequilas are usually unaged, they are often rested in stainless-steel tanks to allow oxidisation.

For a smooth tasting tequila made from 100% blue agave, look no further than Hornitos Plata Tequila. Enjoyable start to finish, this pure delivery of true agave flavor benefits from Hornitos' unique cultivation and distillation process.

Hornitos Reposado Tequila Fine agave, herbal and green apple aroma notes tantalize with a balanced and slightly woody taste, finishing medium- to full-bodied. Sip neat, on the rocks or give your margaritas a top-shelf treatment with this pale straw-colored tequila.

Best Tequila for the Money, Hands Down. This is my go-to for margaritas because of its smoothness, but you can still get a taste of its richness through the margarita mixes. Less peppery than some of the typical sipping tequilas, but still great for a shot that doesn't send people into contortions.

Hornitos' reposado tequila is an older tequila made with modern techniques, and the quality suffers for it. Although it's affordable, you'll find better-quality tequilas in a similar price range.
