DIFFERENT PICTURES OF TEQUILA

1. CUERVO- Jose Cuervo is a brand of tequila that was founded in 1795 by Don Jose Antonio
deCuervo.
2. EL CONQUISTADOR- El Conquistador Reposado Tequila - A 100% blue agave Tequila
presented in a striking tall hand-blown bottle with cork closure, El Conquistador is a well-
regarded super-premium Tequila, aged a minimum of 7 months.

3. CABO WABO TEQUILA- Recognized as one of the finest tequilas in the world, Cabo Wabo
Tequila Reposado delivers a distinctive experience that even the most discerning drinkers find
delightful and unique. An assertive nose of sweet lime, orange and fresh herbs excites upon
pouring. Maturation in American oak casks for 4 to 6 months infuses the Reposado with a bold
peppery flavor and hints of fruit that linger on the palate briefly, followed by a long, spicy finish. A
truly incomparable spirit, Cabo Wabo Tequila Reposado is ideal for sipping solo or in a top-shelf
margarita or other mixed drinks.

4. TEQUILA TESORO- It is distinguished by stopping the distillation when the alcohol reaches 80
proof-unlike most producers which add water to bring the alcohol content down after distillation.

5. TEQUILA CASSTA GUSANO- This product used to be called Gusano Real but the name was
later changed to "Casta - Worm Bottle."
6. MESCAL DE TEQUILA- The word mezcal comes from the Nahuatl words metl and ixcalli, which
taken together mean "oven cooked agave." Like tequila, mezcal is made by roasting agave
hearts in an oven.

7. TEQUIZA TEQUILA- labeled as “Beer with blue agave nectar and a natural flavor of imported
tequila and lime” is referred to as a “fruit beer” in the same way that drinking red wine and
spitting in a glass of bourbon can be referred to as “making a Manhattan.” The label
lists four primary ingredients, and only one of them (lime) sort of goes with beer, so long as the
beer is bland and flavorless

8. SAUZA TEQUILA- It was founded in 1873 when Don Cenobio Sauza started La Perseverancia
distillery. Sauza Tequila Import Company is owned by Beam Suntory, headquartered in the
Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois.
