About San José Tequila:
"Very recognizable by its sweetness and fruity notes, SAN JOSÉ Tequila is made in the Jalisco province, in Mexico, following a traditional process that gives this tequila its distinctive tasting notes."
Tequila has, here in Denmark, lived a somewhat withdrawn existence in recent years. Although we have all encountered it, if not as anything else, then as a young party animal, few of us know much about this Mexican spirit, except that it is supposedly made from a type of cactus called agave. Apart from sharing a habitat with them, agave has nothing to do with a cactus but belongs to its very own species.
The blue agave from Jalisco has long narrow leaves, and when you cut them off, there is a large sugary bulb left, resembling a pineapple. This bulb is baked, chopped into pieces, fermented for 48 hours, and the distillate from this process becomes tequila. That's the short version. Depending on post-processing and aging, you end up with one of the five main types, each with its characteristics, color, flavor, and strength.
