About Tequila

Tequila is a distilled spirit made from blue agave and produced in Mexico under defined production rules. It is consumed neat or mixed into drinks and may also be used in cooking. Products are commonly classified by maturation and handling, including unaged and barrel-aged styles; these categories have different colour and flavour profiles.

Unaged tequila is generally clear, while time in wood can give aged styles a golden or amber appearance and add woody notes. The spirit’s aroma and taste also vary by production choices. Bottled tequila is distinct from agave syrup, fermented agave drinks and other agave spirits; the name does not describe one uniform flavour or maturation.
