Production & Heritage

Avion 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 Notes

Aroma: 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 Silver

Sipped 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.

Why Avion Silver?

Avion Silver's strongest claim is its competitive pedigree — earning Double Gold and being named World's Best Tequila and Best Unaged White Spirit at back-to-back San Francisco World Spirits Competitions is a distinction few blancos can match. The dedicated 24-ton brick ovens and ultra-slow charcoal filtration produce a tequila that balances bright, raw agave energy with refined smoothness. Produced in the mineral-rich highlands of Jalisco at a facility shared with other major brands, Avion maintains its own closed-off production areas, ensuring consistency and control over every batch. For drinkers who want a blanco that can stand up neat and still shine in a cocktail shaker, this expression delivers on both fronts.
