Tequila: The Quintessential Agave Spirit

Tequila, a distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant, is synonymous with Mexico’s vibrant culture and heritage. Whether enjoyed neat, in a cocktail, or as part of a celebratory toast, tequila offers a distinct taste of Mexico’s agave traditions.

Crafting Tequila

Tequila production starts with the blue agave, which is cooked in ovens to convert the plant’s starches into fermentable sugars. The cooked agave is then shredded and fermented using natural or cultivated yeasts. The resulting liquid is distilled, often twice, in stainless steel or copper stills. Tequila can be aged in oak barrels, resulting in variations such as Blanco (unaged), Reposado (aged), and Añejo (extra-aged).

Experience the Flavors

From the fresh, crisp notes of a Blanco tequila to the rich, complex flavors of an Añejo, tequila offers a wide range of flavor profiles. Each style of tequila reflects the traditions of its region and the expertise of its producers.
