Tequila

A Mexican liquor distilled from the fermented blue agave plants, its history dates back to the early 1800’s. Tequila production first took place in the Tequila Region, in the state of Jalisco. Mexican law mandates that tequila must be made of at least 51 percent Agave or else it is considered mescal.

In addition, any tequila that isn’t made up of 100 percent Blue Agave is considered a mixto. There are three varieties of tequila. Blanco is unaged and clear in color. Reposado is amber and has been aged in oak from two months to one year. Añejo is a dark amber color and has been aged in oak barrels for between one and three years.
