It is distilled from a fermented mash (juice) from a blue variety of genus plant Know as maguey or blue mezcal in Mexico. One interesting thing about the sprit is that it comes Jalisco district of Mexico, if it comes any other part it is then called Mezcal, the method of distillation can be a bit different but the spirit tastes the same. Quality tequila is distilled from 100% agave but the Mexican government & law permits tequila distillers to mix other sugars with it thus corn is mixed during fermentation it can only be mixed to a percentage of 49% Tequila is bottled not less than 80* proof, most tequilas are bottled at 37-40 per cent.

The agave plant in America was called as century plant because it was mistakenly believed to bloom only once after every 100 years. Actually, it takes 12 years for the plant to mature before it can be used. The base of the plant called Pina weighs 25-45kg.The plant is grown in the state Jalisco of Mexico and the distillate is called as tequila.
