Cantera Negra Silver is highly regarded for its minerality, cooked agave, and citrus notes with a distinct spicy, peppery finish. Some reviewers note it has a thin mouthfeel and can be overly earthy or metallic, while others find it smooth, clean, and a good option for both sipping and cocktails. While some reviewers find it impressive and a "real deal" tequila, others consider it an okay, but not exceptional, choice among additive-free brands
