Tequila<\/b> is a mixed drink from the 16th century as a result of the syncretism of two cultures: the Mexican and the Spanish. The Mexica never imagined the dimensions that they could reach with the discovery of agave honeys. After the arrival of the Spaniards to Mexico, a new post-fermentation process, distillation, was incorporated, thereby obtaining an innovative liquid: tequila.<\/span><\/p>

In the beginning, the laws limited its production and at one time it was completely prohibited, resulting in the manufacture and sale in a clandestine way, because preference was given to the commercialization of Spanish wines and spirits, in order to promote that market in our country. Over time, the tequila industry became stronger, and grew significantly. Today it is a drink that has crossed borders, and is recognized and consumed throughout the world.<\/p>

It is made exclusively from \u201cblue variety tequilana weber agave\u201d. To obtain it, all the leaves are removed, until only the pineapple (heart) remains, after cooking the juices (musts) are extracted, and once fermented they are subjected to distillation.<\/p>

This last process is carried out twice, in order to achieve a higher alcohol content. The first distillation is known as “shredding” and reaches an alcohol volume of around 20%, in a couple of hours, while the second, also called “rectification”, achieves between three and four hours, a level close to 55% Alc. Vol.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
