TEQUILA FOR
YOUR TROUBLES?
What is tequila?
Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the fermented juices of a blue agave plant, produced only in designated areas in Mexico.
The taste of tequila will vary, and is influenced on where the agave plant was grown along with the type of tequila that is being consumed, essentially meaning how long it has been aged.
There are three main types of tequilas:
Blanco (silver) tequila
No ageing period, offers a more unadulterated flavour from the agave.
Reposado tequila
Aged for a minimum of two months in barrel.
Anejo tequila
Aaged for at least a year in barrel, providing a stronger more powerful flavour.
