Craft Tequila

15 expressions from 4 independent distilleries

Tequila is distilled from blue Weber agave and can only be made in designated regions of Mexico, centered on Jalisco. How long it rests in oak decides its style: blanco is unaged or barely rested, reposado is rested for months, and añejo is aged for at least a year.

The tequilas on DiscoCraft include the full blanco, reposado and añejo line from Wild Common, including a still strength blanco, Polanco Tequila and Noble 1975, and flavored tequilas from San Hagen Tequila, a collaboration between San Diego and Copenhagen.

Questions

Tequila questions, answered

What is the difference between blanco, reposado and añejo tequila?

Blanco is bottled unaged or rested only briefly. Reposado rests in oak for at least two months, and añejo for at least one year. Longer aging brings more vanilla and spice and softens the agave.

Can tequila be made in the United States?

No, not as tequila. Tequila has a protected designation of origin, so it must be made from Blue Weber agave in specific regions of Mexico, mainly the state of Jalisco. Many American tequila brands partner with distilleries in Mexico to make theirs, and every bottle carries a NOM number that identifies the exact distillery that produced it.

American distillers who make agave spirits at home use a different name. Since 2020, US labeling rules have recognized "agave spirit" as its own category, for spirits distilled from agave in the United States or anywhere outside Mexico's protected regions. Mezcal is protected the same way, so you will see American bottles labeled "agave spirit" instead. These producers often experiment with different agave varieties, cooking methods and barrels, so they are worth exploring as a style of their own.
