Tequila is a strong alcoholic drink known to many from Mexico, named after the city of Tequila, in the vicinity of which this elite alcohol is made. The basis of tequila is the fruit of blue agave (core). Tequila "Sauza" - a brand that has forever won the hearts of fans with a rich taste and unsurpassed aroma.
History of occurrence
It all started almost two centuries ago, when one of the Mexican entrepreneurs set about trying to create their own tequila production. Senobio Sauza steadily increased the front of work, and as a result, he managed not only to cover the entire area, but also to establish constant export of alcoholic beverage to other countries. Tequila, which quickly gained a leading position in the alcohol market, was named after South. Over time, Don Senobio's company turned into a major dealer with a brand name. More than 150 years have passed since the first bottles with an elite drink hit the tables of buyers, but to this day Sauza tequila is considered one of the best brands of alcohol. And the reasons for this are very good: it is made from an organic product (selected fruits of blue agave), there are no dyes and preservatives, which improves quality, it has an unrivaled taste and rich aroma.
What is the Sauza tequila?
Like any alcoholic drink, tequila has several distinctive features. Now there are four types on the market, each of which has a unique character. Alcohol content of about 40%, pouring 0.7 or 1 liter, as well as a pungent taste mixed with spicy shades - we are talking about “Sauza” Blanco tequila (silver). The next type of tequila - Conmemorativo - is traditionally made from the fruits of blue agave, but with the addition of grain alcohol. In order for the bouquet to gain the necessary aroma, it has been insisted for at least six years. Another type of drink - tequila "Sauza" Gold Extra - a classic flavor, with a special touch. This drink is aged for two years in oak (and no other) barrels, which directly affects its taste. And, finally, “Sauza” Hornitos Reposado, exposure is at least a year. One series seems to continue another with a slightly noticeable discrepancy in the aftertaste.
