Tequila is a spirit made from the blue agave plant, which is native to Mexico. It has a rich history that dates back to the 16th century, when Spanish conquistadors arrived in Mexico and discovered the native people fermenting a drink made from the agave plant. The Spanish began distilling this drink to create what we now know as tequila.
The Best Tequilas for Every Taste and Budget
The best tequilas are made from 100% blue agave and are typically produced in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The most popular types of tequila are blanco (also known as silver), reposado, and añejo. Blanco tequila is unaged and has a clear appearance, while reposado tequila is aged for a few months and has a slight golden hue. Añejo tequila is aged for at least one year and has a darker color and richer flavor.
When it comes to the most delicious tequilas, it’s a matter of personal taste. Some people prefer a smooth and sweet tequila, while others enjoy a smoky and complex flavor. Our top pick for the most delicious tequila is the Casa Noble Añejo, which is aged for two years and has a rich and complex flavor with notes of vanilla, oak, and caramel.
How Much Does a Bottle of Tequila Cost?
The price of a bottle of tequila varies depending on the brand and age. A bottle of good quality tequila can range from $30 to over $100. Some of the most expensive tequilas in the world are aged for many years and are sold for thousands of dollars per bottle.
The Smoothest Tequilas to Sip on
For those who are new to tequila or prefer a milder taste, we recommend trying a blanco tequila. The Milagro Silver is a great option for those who want a smooth and easy-to-drink tequila. It has a light, fruity flavor with notes of citrus and agave.
Health Benefits of Tequila: More Than Just a Drink
In addition to its delicious taste, tequila also has a number of health benefits. It has been found to help with digestion, boost the immune system, and even aid in weight loss. Of course, it’s important to drink tequila in moderation and to choose high-quality brands.
