Tequila

Tequila is a Place

Majority of the population across the world knows tequila is a type of liquor. A large number of people have had a good time with this liquor and developed a massive interest in it, however, only a few people know that tequila is named after its country of origin, “Tequila.” The full name is Santiago de Tequila. A town in Mexico and municipality in Jalisco state. Most of the Tequila in the world is produced in the state of Jalisco, however it can also be produced in four additional states including Guanajuato, Michocán, Nayarit and Tamaulipas.

Tequila Drinks can only be curated from Weber Blue Agave Plant

While champagne can only be curated from specific grapes such as pinot noir and chardonnay. Tequila can only be curated from agave tequilana and weber azul. This specific plant is deemed perfect for tequila production. The sugar content is quite ideal and a lifecycle of six to ten years. For any tequila brand to be classified under the tequila category, 51% of the spirit must be derived from the blue agave plant. Today, there are a number of brands that use 100 percent blue agave, however, as a rule of thumb, tequilas curated with a lower percentage of agave are typically cheaper.

Just Like Wine, Territory can influence the Taste of Tequila

The flavor of tequila is primarily influenced by yeast. The yeast can be added into the blend as commercial yeast or wild yeast that is found naturally in the surrounding environment. The condition of the yeast is also influenced by the type of soil that the agave is grown in. Any tequila brand from the Highlands (Los Altos) is grassier and has a sweeter flavor profile, while any tequila brand from the Lowland areas (El Valle) is earthier with more mineral quality.

There are 5 categories of Tequila: Reposado, Anejo, Extra Anejo, Joven and Blanco.

Most people have come to discover the different tequila categories by reading the labels on the tequila bottle. However, there is still a lot of information that should be broken down. The difference between all the Tequila categories lies in the fermentation and ageing process in oak barrels. Anejo is aged for one to three years, Extra Anejo is aged for three years or more. Reposado is aged for two months to one year, while Blanco does not go through the ageing process. If it is aged, it is not aged for more than two months.

Taking A Shot of Tequila

When a shot of Tequila is placed right in front of you, start by giving it a swirl and poke your nose right in the glass. Get a whiff of this drink, draw in its history. Next, take in a small amount and swirl it around your mouth, casing your tongue and gums. This is just to update your body on what’s coming, giving you a chance to prepare for the harsh flavor and alcohol content. If you follow these steps, then you will definitely be able to sip on the rest of your shot slowly, enjoying it as you would a good whiskey or vodka.
