TEQUILA
THE TEQUILA STORY
Legend tells us that tequila arrived in a flash of divine inspiration. A group of tribesmen from the tequila tribe in Amatitlán, Jalisco Mexico witnessed a lone bolt of lightning strike an agave plant. The heat boiled the liquid inside and when the plant cooled down they tasted the nectar from the "piña" (the heart).
"They deemed it to be a miraculous gifts form the gods"
From the exotic lands of Mexico, The Flying Burrito Brothers have brought the largest and best collection of Tequilas ever built in this country.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TEQUILA!
Three Ages, Three flavours.
BLANCO/Silver This is the closest you can get to the taste of an agave plant. The purest Tequila...non aged.
REPOSADO Slightly aged inside Oak Barrels for no longer than a year. This tequila is softer, sweeter and more complex.
This is a good way to get into the world of Tequila.
AÑEJO This tequila is aged for longer than a year and up to ten.
This is the tequila you sip in to let the aromas of wood and spices fill you with the taste from the gods.
A delicacy that a few can get to savour.
Tequila does NOT come with a worm, only Mezcal
MEZCAL is a close relative of Tequila. Comes from Agave just like tequila but the plant gets cooked underground in hot rocks and wood. That is why it is well known for its smokey flavor.
Why the worm?
The agave is the house of the worm and it is said it is as sacredas the plant.
To eat it is a direct ticket to Heaven!
One more thing...Lime and salt ruins a premium tequila experience.
