TAQUERIA AND TEQUILA BAR

Tequila!

La Hacienda proudly serves the finest selection of tequila available.

 

BLANCO

This is the Blue Agave spirit in its purest form. It is clear and typically un-aged, where the true flavors and the intensity of the Agave are present, as well as the natural sweetness. There are some Blanco products that are aged for up to 2 months to provide a smoother or "Suave" spirit.

REPOSADO

A Reposado Tequila is the first stage of "rested and aged". The Tequila is aged in wood barrels or storage tanks between 2 months and 11 months. The spirit takes on a golden hue and the taste becomes a good balance between the Agave and wood flavors.

 AÑEJO  

After aging for at least one year, Tequila can then be classified as an "Añejo". The distillers are required to age Añejo Tequila in barrels that do not exceed 600 liters. This aging process darkens the Tequila to an Amber color, and the flavor can become smoother, richer, and more complex.

MESCAL

Mescal comes from the maguey plant, which is of the same lineage of the agave used to make tequila. Distilled just once, not twice. This can come from any region in Mexico.
