This tequila barrel bears the name Consejo Regulador del Tequilla. No, that is not a brand. It is the Tequila Regulatory Council. They strictly maintain the Mexican Official Standard for Tequila. So, when you are slamming down your next shot, rest assured it was produced from a blue agave plant probably grown in the State of Jalisco where your favorite beverage began during the 16th century. The harvesting, cooking, extraction, fermentation and distillation all follow strict procedures. Then it is aged in a white oak barrel previously used by a bourbon distiller. Now enjoy this iconic liquor of Mexico.
