GSN Review: Severo Tequila Plata

Established in 1924, Tequilera Don Roberto is one of two remaining Mexican-owned heritage tequila businesses and is still owned and operated within the founder’s family. The recipes used today are direct descendants of the original distillery, nearly 100-years-old carrying the rich history of Post-Revolutionary Mexico. Severo is an embodiment of that period of hardship and struggle that led to the birth of the country’s national identity and its national drink: tequila.

Hand-crafted in small batches from 100 percent estate-grown blue Weber agave, each bottle is hand-dated, numbered and packaged in an artisan bottle that reflects the era and craftsmanship behind the spirit. Each of Severo’s four expressions include unique tasting notes to create an authentic flavor and refined finish in every bottle.

GSN’s Remarks: Loads of agave and vanilla present at the first sip. A fresh and medium-heavy bodied tequila with a fair amount of oakiness. The vegetal character comes through all of this as if it were just freshly pressed. The finish is reasonably long with a slight bitter tone at the end. Overall, a hearty tequila perfect for non-sour cocktails, shots or sipping neat with a meal. GSN Rating: B+
