Overview
A beautifully packaged guide to understanding and enjoying agave spirits, poised to take advantage of tequila's hugely burgeoning popularity. Whether you're a fan of the margarita or Paloma, or prefer to drink the spirit reposado or añejo over ice, tequila is fast becoming the hottest, most interesting spirit on the market today. And yet, tequila is just the beginning of the story when it comes to the fascinating family of agave spirits - you may have heard of mezcal, but have you sampled a bacanora or a raicilla?
