When you think of tequila, perhaps wild nights and regrettable hangovers come to mind. But this vibrant Mexican spirit offers so much more, rich flavors, sophistication, and an unmatched versatility in crafting exceptional drinks. Ready to transform your tequila experience? Let The Barrel Reserve guide you on your journey from casual drinker to tequila connoisseur!
Discover the World of Agave Unlike vodka or bourbon, genuine tequila uniquely originates from the heart of the blue agave plant. While some tequilas, known as mixtos, contain at least 51% agave blended with neutral spirits, true aficionados often prefer tequilas labeled "100% agave." At The Barrel Reserve, we proudly stock an extensive collection of authentic, premium agave tequilas for you to explore and savor.
Tequila and Mezcal, A Family Affair Did you know tequila is a special type of mezcal? Both spirits originate from agave, but tequila uses exclusively blue agave and undergoes a distinct distillation process, involving steaming and copper pot distillation. Mezcal, by contrast, gains its smoky character from traditional earthen pit cooking. Curious about tasting the difference? Visit our website to browse our expertly curated selection of tequilas and mezcals, perfect for expanding your palate.
