What is a Premium Tequila?
If silver or white tequila is the desired final product, distillation is the final process it undergoes. Rested (Reposado) or aged (Añejo) tequila must be matured in 200-liter (or larger) white oak barrels for at least 2 months for the former, and 12 months for the latter. There are, however, more than 50 different companies producing tequila in the Mexican province of Jalisco, with different maturation times according to the variety of tequila and desired quality of the final product.

Then there is Extra “Añejo Tequila”, a classification that did not exist before 2006 and that means the tequila must be barrel-aged for a minimum of three years.

As a tequila ages, its color deepens and its flavors evolve. That is why superpremium-aged tequilas—añejos and extra añejos—have become elevated to a rarified world that rivals the finest digestifs.

Red Agave proudly serves Mexico’s best Extra Añejo Tequilas including Best of Luxury’s #1 World Ranked Tequila “Partida Elegante”. Prices vary from $25 to $85 per serving (1 1/2 oz.), but on Tuesdays, all Extra Añejo Tequila is 50% OFF so that every one can enjoy the best tequila, and have bragging rights, that they have tasted the world’s best tequilas!

Quetzalcoatl instantly fell in love with Mayahuel and returned to earth with her at his side. This infuriated Tzintzimitl and she searched everywhere for the pair. They were forced to hide and scurry from place to place keeping one step ahead of the evil goddess. Weary of running, Quetzalcoatl determined to disguise himself and Mayahuel as branches on a tree carefully positioned so the breeze would cause the two branches to sweep and caress each other. This scheme was eventually discovered and in a fit a rage Tzintzimitl ripped the branch possessing the soul of Mayahuel from the tree and broke it in to tiny pieces. Devastated, Quetzalcoatl slew Tzintzimitl returning light to this world but his love was gone.

He buried the pieces of the broken branch and drenched the ground in his tears giving life to the first agave plant. Quetzalcoatl drank the plant’s sweet nectar but it gave him little joy until the gods bestowed “special” properties to the agave to comfort Quetzalcoatl’s heart and soul. This, according to Aztec legend, is how the agave came into existence and for thousands of years the natural fermenting nectar of the agave has been used in ceremonies of religious and cultural significance. To this day, Mayahuel is considered by the Aztec people to be the goddess of agave. Today, standing firmly in the 21st century, we still find Tequila, more than any other spirit, to be shrouded in mystery, awe, and occasionally foreboding.

Legend has it that in 1580 a group of Aztecs in what is now Mexico, where caught in a thunder storm. One of those thunders struck an agave plant which was instantly cooked. The Aztecs were attracted to the smell which was sweet and decided to taste the juice, product of the stem (piña/pineapple) a thus tequila was born.
