Avion Tequila was launched in 2009 by Ken Austin, a tequila enthusiast and entrepreneur, along with Jenna Fagnan, and celebrity rapper Jeezy, who also played a significant role in promoting the brand. The brand gained significant popularity and cultural cachet in part due to its feature on the HBO series "Entourage," where it was fictionally portrayed as a project of one of the characters.
Avion Silver exhibits a bright and inviting nose with distinct notes of vanilla, pineapple, and a touch of black pepper. The palate follows suit with a sweet and vibrant profile that includes baked apple, coconut, and a squeeze of lemon, delivering a dessert-like quality. The finish is long and clean with herbal and citrus undertones, featuring hints of lime pith and cucumber which enhance its complexity.
Nose:
The aroma is an appealing mix of lime, aloe, vanilla, and other citrus elements, accented by herbal touches that speak to its high-altitude origins in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico.
Palate:
On tasting, Avion Silver reveals a glycerous, medium body with flavors that echo its aromatic profile. Expect a harmonious blend of sweet and savory elements, including grilled pineapple and lemon grass, coupled with a bracing note of black pepper.
Finish:
The finish of Avion Silver is noted for being bone-dry yet refreshingly crisp, leaving a lingering taste of herbal and citrus notes, which makes it exceptionally versatile for a wide array of cocktails.
