Tequila is made by distilling the juice of the Blue Agave plant, and is a protected designation of origin product, which can only be made in Mexico, in the states of Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. There are four categories of tequila – blanco, reposado, anejo and extra anejo – based on the spirit’s ageing period.
