RANDOM TIDBITS
It takes at least eight years for the Blue Agave plant to mature enough to be used to make tequila.

Many people incorrectly refer to tequila as a beverage with a worm in the bottle. Mezcal, a lower quality liquor made from maguey, a variety of agave, often features the larva of a moth that looks like a worm.

True tequila must be made in Mexico - and in specific regions of the country.

To be classified as tequila, the spirit must contain at least 51% blue agave.

Tequila was first produced by Jose Antonio de Cuervo y Valdes in 1758 and was first sold by his son in 1795.

The largest collection of tequila bottles in the United States contains over 2,000 bottles.
