Types of Tequila 100% AGAVE TEQUILA 100% Agave tequila means that the tequila is made only from the Blue Agave plant sugars grown in the specified Tequila region in Mexico. It is government regulated to ensure purity and must be bottled in Mexico. If it is not 100% Agave, the alcohol can legally be up to 49% from non-Agave sugars and still be called Tequila. This usually means that it has cane sugar for fermentation. In general, 100% means better quality flavor, taste and smoothness. BLANCO or PLATA (White or Silver) Aged less than 60 days and is often bottled right after distillation. Usually is more robust and peppery sharp than the others. REPOSADO (Rested) Aged from 2 months to a year in oak casks or barrels. The taste becomes richer and more complex. It is the most popular type of Tequila in Mexico. The aging also makes it smoother then the blancos. ANEJO (Aged) Añejos are typically aged between 1 and 3 years. They are darker in color, more complex in flavor and smoother than reposado tequilas. American whiskey barrels, french oak casks, or cognac barrels, are commonly used to age this tequila. EXTRA ANEJO (Ultra aged) This is the newest classification of tequila. Aged for a minimum of 3 years. Extra anejo tequilas are extremely smooth and complex. It becomes darker with more of a Mahogany color, and is so rich that it becomes difficult to distinguish it from other quality aged spirits.

Mezcal

What is Mezcal? The "maguey" (a form of agave plant) grows in many parts of Mexico, though most mezcal is made in the state of Oaxaca. Today, mezcal is still made from the heart of the maguey plant, called the "piña", much the same way it was 200 years ago, in most places. In Mexico, mezcal is generally consumed straight and has a strong smoky flavor. Traditionally, mezcal is handcrafted by small-scale producers. A village can contain dozens of production houses, called fábricas or palenques, each using methods that have been passed down from generation to generation, some using the same techniques practiced 200 years ago. One of the main difference then Tequila (Blue Agave) is that the piñas are cooked for about 3 days, often in pit ovens, which are earthen mounds over pits of hot rocks. This underground roasting gives mezcal its intense and distinctive smoky flavor. Today Mezcal's popularity is growing more and more. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!!
