In the late 1700s, the town of Tequila was a
remote village and it’s “vino tequila”, was
little known outside the immediate area. There
was no continuity of distilling and no
recognizable tequila industry.
Tequila is Mexico’s national spirit and was
named after the colonial town. Like all other
alcoholic products, it is derived from
fermentable sugar. But tequila is unique in that
its source of sugar is the Blue Agave plant- the
source of the first mescal spirits made by
Spanish settlers.
Much like cognac, which can only be produced in
the Cognac region of France, tequila must be
produced within certain designated areas of
Mexico, mostly in the state of Jalisco.
