One raw material can lead to very different expressions. When comparing tequilas, look at the label category, cooking, extraction, fermentation and maturation as well as the plant’s name.
Botanical passport
- Reference territories
- Tequila denomination-of-origin territory
- Recognising its appearance
- Rosette of long, pointed, blue-green leaves.
- Reproduction and continuity
- Cultivated, with widespread use of offsets.
- An important distinction
- The blue variety is the agave raw material authorised for tequila; using this plant does not make every spirit tequila.
The photograph guides observation; identifying a batch requires producer documentation.
From knowledge to your selection.
If you are seeking an expression for your venue or a comparative tasting, Javier can help turn these questions into a specific enquiry. Expressions and availability are confirmed by enquiry.
