Tequila 101
Ever wondered what makes tequila tick? Well, buckle up because we’re about to take you on a wild ride through the world of Mexico’s finest elixir and the bottles taking up all the shelves behind our bar.
Where it all began
Picture this: rolling hills, vibrant blue skies, and rows upon rows of agave plants swaying gently in the breeze. That’s the heartland of tequila country, my friend. Originating from the blue agave plant, tequila’s roots run deep in the rich soil of Jalisco, Mexico. It’s a tale as old as time, passed down through generations of skilled distillers who’ve perfected the art of crafting this liquid gold.
From Plantto Bottle
From Plant to Bottle
Now, let’s talk process. Tequila isn’t just poured out of a magic bottle – oh no, there’s a whole lot of love and labor that goes into every sip. First off, those mighty agave plants are harvested by hand, their sweet nectar extracted and cooked to perfection. Then comes the fun part: fermentation and distillation. It’s like a boozy science experiment, where patience is key and precision is everything. Finally, after aging in oak barrels, the tequila emerges, ready to tantalize taste buds and ignite the soul.
From Blancoto Extra Añejo
From Blanco to Extra Añejo
So many tequilas, so little time. Tequila comes in a variety of flavours and styles, catering to every palate out there. You’ve got your Blanco, crisp and clean with a fiery kick. Then there’s Reposado, aged just enough to mellow out and get cozy with hints of oak. Feeling fancy? Opt for Añejo, a smooth operator with a rich, caramel finish. And for the true connoisseurs, there’s Extra Añejo – aged to perfection, with layers of complexity that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about tequila.
So there you have it – a crash course in all things tequila. From its humble beginnings in the agave fields of Mexico to the dizzying array of flavours waiting to be discovered, it’s a spirit that never fails to surprise and delight. So grab a glass, ¡Salud!
