Tequila is a distilled alcoholic beverage primarily made from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana Weber blue variety), native to the Tequila region of Jalisco, Mexico. Produced through a meticulous process of harvesting, cooking, fermentation, and distillation, tequila encompasses a range of styles and aging categories, including Blanco (Silver), Reposado (Rested), Añejo (Aged), and Extra Añejo (Extra Aged). Recognized for its distinct flavor profile, tequila offers notes of agave, citrus, spice, and oak, depending on the type and aging process, making it a versatile spirit for sipping, mixing, and culinary pairing.
