A Tequila of the Month Club is a membership that regularly delivers a full-sized bottle (or several) to your door, usually monthly or quarterly, making it one of the best tequila clubs out there. We also offer a 3-pack option in our Tequila of the Month Club, so you’ll receive three bottles at once—no need to wait! If you’d like even more options aside from our Tequila of the Month Club selections, check out our Bottle Shop for one-off bottle purchases delivered throughout the month.

Tequila is made from Blue Weber Agave in Mexico with the alcohol concentration of typically about 40% ABV.

Tequila and its sister, mezcal, are made from agave, an enormous spiny plant that grows throughout Central America. Tequila must be made from a specific kind of agave called Blue Weber Agave, and it must be produced within a specific geographic region centered around Jalisco. However, mezcal can be made in a wider geographical distribution, and distillers can use a broader range of agave species, including wild agave.

Workers trim the agave of its huge spikes to get to its heart, called the piña, rich in complex carbohydrates and sugars. The piñas are roasted to soften and caramelize them, then milled and pressed to extract the juice. For Tequila, most distilleries use either brick ovens called hornos or stainless steel autoclaves to cook the piñas. Mezcal producers often roast their piñas in earthen pits with wood or coal, giving them a smoky flavor. Most modern distilleries use shredders and roller mills to get at the juice. However, a handful of traditional operators still use a tahona, a circular stone mill usually powered by a mule, to grind the piñas.

Once the juice is extracted, it’s fermented, sometimes by wild yeast, sometimes by introduced yeast, and often with a combination of the two. Then it’s distilled, traditionally twice on a pot still, but many modern distilleries also use column stills. Some mezcals are produced on clay or even leather stills – wild!

In Mexico, Tequila and mezcal are traditionally consumed unaged, called blanco. From one perspective, that makes a lot of sense. Agave takes a very long time to grow, with some species requiring more than a decade in the ground to reach maturity. Some say Tequila’s aging happens on the agricultural end, during all those long years when the agave grows in the field. But as whiskey-loving Americans have become more excited about tequila, the industry has introduced several oak-aged variants.

We like to feature various tequilas in our Tequila of the Month Club so you can explore different flavors, expand your palate, and enhance your tequila knowledge. With this tequila club, you’ll receive tequila from both the Highlands and the Lowlands, each offering either more earthy or more sweet flavors, depending on the altitude, environment, and soil in which the agave grows. You’ll also receive high-quality tequilas, including blancos (or silvers), reposados, and añejos in our Tequila of the Month Club.

Many of the spirits in our Tequila of the Month Club are family-owned and operated on small farms, giving the selections a local craft artisan feel. Occasionally, we’ll also feature Cristalino tequilas. These are añejos or extra añejos that have been filtered with activated charcoal to remove the color from the liquid and enhance its fruity and floral character. The result is a clear tequila, similar to a blanco, while retaining a barrel-aged tequila’s taste and aroma profile.

Those days of cheap shots served alongside a bowl of lime wedges and a shaker of salt? Those are over. Today, tequila belongs alongside fine spirits like Cognac, single malt Scotch, and bourbon, and we couldn’t be happier about it.

First things first: Put the shot glass away. For good tequila, it’s all about taking your time, not getting it down fast. You want a glass that’s relatively tall and narrow, with a slight curve to the sides. Riedel manufactures a great glass just for tequila, but a Glencairn glass, champagne flute, or white wine glass can work well, too.

Pour the tequila, then observe its color and texture. Is it crystal clear, indicating a blanco tequila? Does it have an amber tone, indicating oak aging? How viscous does it look in the glass?

Next, nose the tequila. Gently sniff near the rim of the glass, moving your nose closer or farther away to find the distance that works best for you. Don’t sniff too aggressively, or you won’t get much beyond alcohol vapor.

Now, it’s time to taste. Take a small sip, let it coat your tongue for a few seconds, then swallow and breathe out your nose to encourage retronasal olfaction, the secondary perception of aromas that takes place when you eat or drink. Notice any particular fruit, mineral, flower, or oak notes, as well as the length and quality of the finish.

We love sipping tequila straight, but it’s also the base for several classic cocktails, including one of the world’s most iconic drinks, the Margarita. There are endless Margarita variations, but sometimes simple is best.

• Blanco or silver is unaged tequila.
• Reposado, a word that means “rested,” is aged for less than one year in an oak cask.
• Añejo, “old” tequila is aged up to three years in an oak cask
• Extra-Añejo pr “extra old,” means tequila is aged up to five years in oak.

Any spirit distilled from the agave plant, which is a succulent native to Mexico and Texas, is considered mezcal. So, mezcal encompasses other liquors from agave that you’ve seen around including tequila, raicilla, bacanora, and sotol. When you think of mezcal vs. tequila, remember that tequila is a type of mezcal, similar to how bourbon and scotch are types of whiskey.

Over 200 varieties of agave grow in Mexico’s countryside, yet only 50 or so can be used to make the spirit. And, the majority of mezcal is made from the fastest-growing varietal, Espadin, which takes about seven years compared to three decades that other agave varietals can take. There are also mezcal “ensembles”, or those made from a blend of agave types. However, when it comes to the spirit’s flavor and character profile, production methods have a much bigger impact than the agave variety does.

Distilled mezcal ranges widely in flavor and quality, and it sits between 38% and 55% ABV (alcohol by volume).
