Ever wondered what goes into producing a bottle of Tequila? In our fast-paced, modern world, the meticulous effort behind the things we consume is often overlooked. Yet, creating each bottle of traditionally made Tequila involves a remarkable blend of hard work, passion, creativity, and adherence to time-honored traditions.
This process sharply contrasts with the more commonly known modern industrialized tequilas. Among the 1680 tequila brands producing over 3307 different expressions of tequilas, surprisingly, only about 100 are verified as additive-free. Most brands introduce additives like sugar or artificial sweeteners, glycerin for mouthfeel, caramel coloring, oak extract for an aged taste, and artificial flavors to enhance or mask their low-quality Tequila. Tequila's complexity, boasting over 600 distinct aromas, marks the spirit's richness, a trait that should be celebrated rather than concealed.
