Tequila

Tequila is made from the fermented juice of the blue agave plant primarily in the city of Tequila, in the Mexican state of Jalisco.

In order for Tequila to be official (and to actually be called a Tequila), it must be made in specific regions of Mexico and follow strict regulations.

Different Types of Tequila

There are 5 main types of Tequila:

Blanco (Silver) – Clear, usually unaged with a strong agave flavour.

Reposado – Aged in oak barrels for 2 to 12 months, giving it a smoother flavour with hints of oak and vanilla.

Añejo – Aged 1 to 3 years, offering richer, more complex flavours.

Extra Añejo – Aged over 3 years, with deep, refined flavours, often compared to fine cognacs or whiskies.

Joven (Gold) – A mix of Blanco and aged tequilas, sometimes with added colouring or flavouring.
