Grand Mayan Silver 750ML

Grand Mayan Silver 750ML is a triple-distilled blanco tequila bottled at 40% ABV, made from 100% Blue Weber Agave in Jalisco, Mexico. What sets this expression apart from most blancos is its rare triple distillation — an uncommon step in tequila production that yields an exceptionally smooth, clean spirit without sacrificing agave character.

Quick Facts: ABV: 40% (80 Proof)  |  Origin: Jalisco, Mexico  |  Blanco / Silver (Unaged)  |  Distillery: Corporativo Destileria Santa Lucia (NOM 1173)

Production & Heritage

Grand Mayan Silver is produced at Corporativo Destileria Santa Lucia, operating under NOM 1173 in the Lowlands (El Valle) region of Jalisco, Mexico. The distillery sources 100% Blue Weber Agave from the central highlands of Jalisco, where higher altitude and cooler temperatures produce agave with pronounced sweetness. Unlike the vast majority of tequilas that undergo only double distillation, Grand Mayan Silver passes through the still a third time — a technique generally avoided in the category because it risks stripping away too much of the agave's natural flavor. The result here is a blanco that retains vivid agave and citrus character while achieving a noticeably silky texture.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Freshly cut agave leads immediately, followed by bright citrus zest and a crisp green apple note. Underneath, subtle herbal tones add complexity without overwhelming the nose.

Taste: The entry is clean and fresh, with a burst of lime and grapefruit that moves through the mid-palate alongside sweet, cooked agave. As the flavors develop, delicate herbal and peppery undertones emerge, providing balance against the citrus and agave sweetness.

Finish: Medium in length with a velvety texture, closing on a gentle wave of earthy minerals and natural agave sweetness. A light peppery warmth lingers without any harsh burn, reflecting the polish of the triple distillation.

How to Drink Grand Mayan Silver

The smoothness achieved through triple distillation makes this blanco highly approachable neat or over a single large ice cube, where the citrus and agave notes open up gradually. It also excels in cocktails:

• Margarita: The pronounced lime and grapefruit character reinforces the cocktail's citrus backbone without needing excessive juice.
• Paloma: Its clean agave profile and peppery finish complement grapefruit soda beautifully, creating a balanced, refreshing drink.
• Ranch Water: The mineral earthiness on the finish pairs naturally with sparkling mineral water and a squeeze of lime for a simple, crisp highball.

Best For

• Tequila drinkers exploring premium blancos beyond mainstream brands
• Hosting a taco night or Mexican-themed dinner party
• Building a well-rounded home tequila collection

Triple distillation in tequila is genuinely uncommon — most producers avoid it, fearing it will strip too much agave flavor from the spirit.

The result is a tequila that holds its own against established premium blancos while offering a distinctly silky mouthfeel that stands out in the category.
