Simply put, tequila is one of the world’s greatest spirits.
If the only experience you’ve had with tequila is through a shot glass,
salt and lime, you’ve been doing it wrong. Tequila can hold just
as much interest and complexity as a fine single malt Scotch.
Here at Méjico, we serve only 100% blue agave tequila.
Having scoured the state of Jalisco high and wide to create
one of the largest selections in Australia currently sitting at
250 and counting, we’re bringing you a fresh perspective on
this thrillingly complex and thoroughly distinctive spirit.
So, read on and get acquainted.

PRODUCTION & CL IMATETequila is a spirit distilled from the agave plant grown within the
mountain and valley regions in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Only within Jalisco,
and limited regions in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas,
and only from the Blue Weber agave, can true, authentic tequila be made.
The location, soil composition and climate all have distinct effects on the agave grown for
tequila. The highlands of Jalisco have red volcanic soil and a dry landscape that tends to
produce sweeter agaves with more floral and herbal notes, while the fertile lowlands in the
Tequila Valley produce less sweet agaves with more earthy, mineral characteristics.
After eight to ten years of cultivation, the agave plants are mature and ready to harvest.
The agave harvester, known as the Jimador (he-mah-dor), cuts back the exterior leaves and
stalk of the agave, leaving only the starchy heart. The ‘piña’ is then cooked down and crushed
to extract the liquid. From there, the liquid is fermented, distilled and then aged to bring out

HOW IS TEQUILA MADE?
Step 2 : Fermentation
Agave is a very fibrous plant and needs to be crushed after being cooked using the Tahona.
Hot water is used to help with the extraction and the end product is something similar to
watery agave syrup (ask at the bar to see or taste. It’s delicious!). Fermentation takes place in
stainless steel tanks or more traditionally, large wooden barrels, which will affect the taste of
the aguamiel produced (essentially agave beer). The biggest factor affecting flavour here is
the yeast used, which many distillers keep under lock and key!
