Tequila is a popular spirit enjoyed around the world. With so many options available, how do you select the best one for your bar or restaurant? In this blog post, we will discuss the criteria for selecting high-quality tequila, the difference between small batch and commercial products, additives in tequila, and the importance of a good packaging and bottle.
Small Batch vs. Commercial Products
When selecting tequila for your establishment, it’s important to consider whether you want a small batch or commercial product. Small batch tequila is made in smaller quantities using traditional methods, resulting in a more unique and complex flavor profile. Commercial tequila, on the other hand, is made in large quantities using modern methods and may have a more consistent flavor but lacks the intricate nuances of small batch tequila.
Additives in Tequila
Many tequila brands add caramel coloring, glycerin, and other additives to their products to enhance the flavor and color. However, high-quality tequila should be made with 100% agave and have no additives. Natural notes of vanilla, fruit, and spices should come from the aging process, not from artificial flavors.
Producer Reputation and Selection
The reputation of the producer is also an important factor in selecting high-quality tequila. Look for well-established producers with years of experience and a history of crafting excellent tequila. Additionally, selecting different products from the same producer can offer variety while maintaining a high-quality standard.
