Tequila is a spirit made primarily in the area surrounding Tequila, a town in the western Mexican state of Jalisco, 65 km northwest of Guadalajara and in the highlands of Jalisco, 65 km east of Guadalajara. It is made from the blue agave (also known as Agave tequilana azul, Weber’s blue agave, and also called Maguey by the local people), part of the lily and amaryllis families, which is native to Mexico. Tequila is most often made at a 38% - 40% alcohol content (76 - 80 proof), but there are also several varieties of Tequila produced with 43% - 46% alcohol content (86 - 92 proof)

Before moving to Mexico, ask yourself: “Is Tequila Right For Me?” =D
