Recently, tequila has become an increasingly popular party spirit that people drink as shots or mix into sugar-laden cocktails. Now more people are becoming connoisseurs who appreciate its distinctive flavors.

Tequilas vary depending on their region, taking into account factors like climate and soil quality as well as how agave plants are harvested and handled during production. Furthermore, various lengths of ageing alter flavor profiles; anejo (aged one to three years) and extra anejo (aged even longer) tequilas typically feature more complex flavors compared to reposado or blanco varieties.

A premium tequila will not only be creamy and smooth, but will also have its own distinct aroma and flavor profile that distinguishes it from other spirits. When selecting your bottle, seek advice from experienced bartenders or experts at local stores specializing in tequila to find products that best meet your preferences and intended uses.

When tasting tequila, be sure to remove any perfumes or scented hair products that might impede on your ability to smell and taste the spirit. Drink from glasses which allow you to capture its scent more fully such as brandy snifters.

When enjoying tequila, try not to combine it with lime or salt as this will diminish its flavor. Instead, sip it on the rocks or pair it with an appropriate dish such as ceviche, grilled octopus, or sea urchin for maximum enjoyment.
