| Fine Spirits - Tequila | |||||
| It is made from the blue agave tequilana weber
plant, part of the lily family, which is native to Mexico. Most common tequilas
are 35% to 55% alcohol (70 to 110 proof). Tequila was first produced in the 16th century near the location of the city of Tequila which was not officially established until 1656. The Aztec peoples had previously made a fermented beverage from the agave plant which they called octli (later, and more popularly called pulque), long before the Spanish arrived in 1521. When the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their own brandy, they began to distill this agave drink to produce North America's first indigenous distilled spirit. |
