Hacienda de Banuelos Tequilana

Tequila, by law, has to be produced in one of five states of Mexico.  Zacatecas is not one of them.  But they have been making mezcal there using Weber Blue agave - the same agave as tequila - since 1915, well before the establishment of rules and regions surrounding tequila.  Using traditional mezcal methods of roasting the piñas instead of autoclave, tohona crushing, and distilling on a copper pot still, it certainly appears as a mezcal, but with a round juiciness imparted by the Weber Blue.  Basically, how tequila made 100 years ago would have tasted.
