Description
Tequila reposado is extracted from the legendary Mexican agave plant, and this tequila variant has its roots in Jalisco in the Mexican highlands. To use the agave plant for tequila production, the plant is harvested when fully ripe, then baked in stone ovens and left to ferment in open wooden vats before final distillation.

Tequila production in Mexico is currently limited to five Mexican states: Jalisco, Nayarit, Guanajuato, Michoacan and Tamaulipas. In these five states, the blue agave plant (Agave Tequilana Weber Azul) is grown, which is the very essence and basis of tequila production. The Blue Agave takes six to ten years to mature, after which the thick leaves are cut off.
Although liquor factories in Mexico have stagnated over the years for various reasons, there are still over 100 genuine liquor factories in Mexico producing over 900 brands of tequila and more than 2000 registered tequila brand names. In order to print the name “Tequila” on a bottle, the spirit must be produced in one of the five Mexican states licensed to produce and distill tequila. The producer must also comply with the official Standard for Tequila, also known as NOM-006-SCFI-2005, which specifies the distillery where the Tequila was produced. The NOM standard is under constant revision to meet the rapidly changing conditions that regulate international trade.
