Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Maestro Tequilero?
A master distiller who specializes in the craft of tequila. He takes full responsibility for overseeing the entire process of creating this beloved drink – from the fields of agave to the milling, extraction, distillation, aging, and beyond. With each and every variable at his fingertips, he artfully crafts a unique profile for each brand or product.
WHY Tequila Must Be Produced In Mexico?
The Tequila Regulatory Council is responsible for ensuring that Tequila production adheres to the strict guidelines outlined in the Official Mexican Standard 006. This standard declares Tequila as an exclusive product of Mexico and restricts its production to certain municipalities within five designated states of the country.
How Can I Know Which Is The Best Tequila?
A knowledgeable tequila master will tell you that the ultimate tequila choice comes down to personal preference and taste. It’s all about discovering the tequila that you truly savor and enjoy, based on your unique palate and perspective.
What Is The Difference Between A Tequila Blanco And Reposado?
When it comes to Tequila Blanco, aging is an option rather than a requirement. However, if it’s left to mature for more than 2 months in a barrel, it becomes known as Reposado. So, the bottom line is that while aging may enhance its flavor, it’s not always crucial to creating a high-quality Tequila Blanco.
Why Is Añejo Tequila More Expensive?
Aged Tequila is not something that can be rushed. It takes at least a year of aging in barrels before it can be enjoyed to its fullest potential. But why does it cost more? Well, there’s the price of the agave and the fact that people can’t get enough of that beloved blanco flavor. And then there’s the cost of storing the tequila for so long, which involves extra processes and higher production costs. It’s the price we pay for a smooth and satisfying tequila experience.
How Should I Drink Tequila To Appreciate It Properly?
Savoring tequila is all about personal preference, but true experts suggest taking the time to enjoy it sip by sip to fully appreciate the pure agave flavor. So go ahead and indulge, but remember to take small sips and savor the delicious notes at your own pace.
What Is The Difference Between Tequila And Mezcal?
The art of mezcal-making involves toasting and fermenting agave plants, resulting in a liquor that often boasts a smoky flavor. Tequila, a variety of mezcal, is crafted from a particular type of agave called the blue agave. This plant must also be grown within the designated Mexican territory outlined by the denomination of origin.
What Is An Additive-Free Tequila?
Additives are like makeup for tequila, smoothing out the rough edges and adding new flavors. However, some tequilas are pure and don’t need any additives like glycerin or artificial flavors to enhance their taste. These tequilas are enjoyed neat without any salt or lime to mask their true flavors. Serious tequila connoisseurs often drink their tequila straight to truly savor its authentic taste. But be aware, sometimes additives can be used to cover up production mistakes.
