The brand Tres Sombreros (Three sombreros), which appeared in 1994, is, as expected, made in Mexico. However, it belongs to the Spanish company Beveland, which is part of the family corporation Masoliver Olivas. The image of three traditional Mexican headdresses on the drink label, if desired, can be interpreted as a call: “Come on, for three!”

General Product Description
The entire three-sambrer agave contains 38 degrees of alcohol. At the same time, tequila producers initially tried to distinguish it from the total mass of similar products.
To this end, mixed versions of the silver and gold drink are 81% (instead of the usual 51%) composed of blue agave, the rest is grain alcohol.
In addition, in the production of mash for the future distillate of tequilocura from Beveland, a specially bred variety of branded yeast is used, which gives the taste of tequila a special mineral-earthy hue.
This circumstance makes Tres Sombreros a drink for everyone.

Varieties of tequila Tres sombreros
Silver – basic mixed version.
Suitable for cocktails, if the earthy-herbal flavor does not bother.
Gold – the same plus dyes and flavors.
White – unaged clear distillate. Launches a line of drinks made from 100% Blue Agave.
The aroma contains hints of earth and tobacco.
The palate is dominated by an earthy-herbal theme.
Restful – a drink of golden color, which has been in oak barrels for eight months.
The fragrance evokes memories of oaks, forest dampness and spices.
The rich taste has sweetish and woody notes.
Old – a dark golden tequila three years old, aged for thirty months in new American oak barrels, and then another six months in bourbon barrels.
The aroma of the drink contains shades of bog oak, unbaked clay and candied fruit.
The taste is very rich with a pronounced woody-earthy component.
At the same time, it should be borne in mind that even the manufacturers of three-hat tequila themselves do not recommend using it as a natural.
They advise drinking it either Hollywood style (with ice, salt and lime) or adding it to cocktails.
PS Under the aforementioned brand, 2 more 35-degree liqueur drinks with the addition of unaged mixto are produced: Tres Sombreros Citrus and Tres Sombreros Energetic (with lemon and cola).
In general, in such cases we usually say: smart is enough.
