The Liquid Soul of Mexico
Tequila isn’t just a drink — it’s a living expression of Mexican culture. Originating from the region of Tequila, Jalisco, this iconic spirit is made from blue agave and has captured the taste buds of people around the globe. Its story stretches back centuries, when pre-Hispanic civilizations fermented agave juice for ceremonial beverages. With the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, distillation was introduced — giving birth to the tequila we know and love today.
The Legend of the Agave
According to ancient tradition, a lightning bolt struck an agave plant, cooking it and releasing its sweet nectar. This event is said to have given rise to pulque, a fermented drink that later evolved into tequila. The legend symbolizes Mexico’s deep bond with nature — and every sip of tequila carries that heritage.
Types of Tequila: Your Essential Guide
Tequila is classified based on how long it’s been aged:
- Blanco (Silver): Unaged. Pure agave flavor with bright citrus notes.
- Reposado: Aged 2 to 12 months in oak barrels. Gains vanilla and caramel tones.
- Añejo: Aged 1 to 3 years. Smooth and complex, with rich depth.
- Extra Añejo: Aged over 3 years. Comparable to fine whiskies in character and elegance.
