The Fascinating History of Tequila
Tequila, a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant, hails from the region surrounding the city of Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico. Its roots stretch back to the Aztecs, who fermented the agave plant to create a ceremonial drink called pulque. The process of distillation was introduced to Mexico during the Spanish conquest in the 16th century, leading to the birth of tequila as we know it today.
Types of Tequila
Tequila is generally categorised into five main types:
- Blanco (Silver): Unaged and bottled immediately after distillation, retaining the purest agave flavours.
- Joven (Gold): Typically a blend of Blanco and aged tequila, sometimes enhanced with caramel or other additives.
- Reposado (Rested): Aged in oak barrels for two months to a year, acquiring a smoother taste and light amber colour.
- Añejo (Aged): Aged for one to three years, offering rich, complex flavours with a darker hue.
- Extra Añejo (Extra Aged): Aged for over three years, often likened to fine whiskies due to its depth and intricacy.
How Does Tequila Taste?
The taste of tequila can vary immensely depending on its type and aging process. Blanco tequila is known for its crisp, sharp, and fresh agave flavour with hints of citrus and pepper. Reposado and Añejo tequilas, on the other hand, exhibit more rounded, mellow, and woody flavours with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spices, owing to their time spent in oak barrels.
Can Tequila Taste Different and Why?
Absolutely! The flavour profile of tequila is influenced by several factors:
- Agave Harvest: The environment in which the blue agave is grown, including the soil and climate, can impact the plant's natural sweetness.
- Distillation Process: Different distillation techniques can enhance or mellow specific flavour notes.
- Aging: The length of aging and type of barrels used significantly affect taste, with longer aging absorbing more complex characteristics from the wood.
- Additives: Some tequilas may include natural additives like caramel or vanilla to create a distinct profile.
