From a herbal sip of blanco to a classic Margarita, tequila is a global hit with a long history dating back to the Aztecs. You might know that tequila is distilled from the agave plant, but did you know that ancient goddesses, wars, and even bats, play a crucial part in its story, too? Tequila expert Millie Milliken is your guide to the art and craft of tequila – the type of agave used and how it is harvested, the jimadors who grow the agaves, the distillers and blender who make tequila, the types of tequila, and the different levels of ageing. From precolonial times, to its use in Mexican culture and history, and all the way through to today’s resurgence, delve into the fascinating history of one of the world’s oldest spirits. Next, the tasting course. Explore the wide variety of flavours you can expect to taste in different tequilas, the significance of the glass you drink from, and the equipment you need to start making cocktails. Tequila may all be made from one type of agave, but they are categorised in six different flavour categories, showcasing the variety of this fascinating spirit.
