Send Tequila to Portugal

There are two main types of tequila – Reposado and Silver. The difference between the two is simply the amount of time they are aged. Reposado tequila is made using only whole blue agave plants and is usually aged for just a few months before distillation, while silver tequila uses less expensive blue agave that has been cut open to make it. Tequila is known for its smooth, mellow taste aged in oak barrels, and has a vanilla-like flavor. It’s great to sip on when you want something light but still have some flavor. The process of making tequila takes weeks to complete, while mezcal is made from the maguey plant and can be done in days or hours. Tequila must still be distilled in a copper pot. Blended tequilas are also not considered to be true tequila, as they don’t use the same ingredients & production process that a pure 100% blue agave tequila uses. Tequila may be served neat or mixed with other alcoholic beverages like cola or gin. It is traditionally served as an apéritif called the “nalguitas” (Spanish for “little booties”) and is often diluted.
