My Tasting Notes: I tasted this tequila in a friend’s home and used a spirits glass
for tasting.  374 does not age their Silver which causes it to be clear in color.  Intense
medicinal earthy aromas of this tequila are followed by moderate notes of fruit and
floral with mild notes of spice.  In the mouth, the Silver is thin and mellow.  While the
tequila is sweet, there is a hint of bitterness.  When examining the flavors of 374
Silver, first impressions include intense floral accents with moderate-to-intense agave.  
On a second sip, I noticed moderate flavors of earth and fruit with mild spice.  This
tequila finishes with a long duration of flavor and a tingly numbing alcohol intensity
that contains some heat.

Other Info: I first saw the new 374 bottles at the 2008 Night Club and Bar Show in
Las Vegas.

"Our brand represents the area code for the city of Tequila, Jalisco and its
surroundings. 374 is the birthplace of Mexico’s national drink and pride. It was within
the area 374 that tequila was distilled for the first time back in the 1500s, making
tequila the first distilled spirit on the North American Continent.

Tequila 374 is homage to the great significance and contribution that this area has
made to the history of Mexico. We hope you will find our products worthy of its name."

It is nice to see that more companies are supporting local charities.  This company also
sponsors numerous local events and is a sponsor of the Tasting Aficionados.  We look
forward to raising more money for charities together in the future while sharing tequila.

The 374 website has the following information about 374 Silver:  

"This unaged triple-distilled tequila is 100% blue agave bliss. Fresh, clear, and pure,
374 Silver is bottled straight from the still to best capture the unique character and full
flavor of tequila in its most traditional form. It has a silky consistency with a subtle
taste that hints of floral, citrus, and natural herbs." -
