Every spirit has its time in the spotlight—sometimes more than once—and much like whiskey in the pre-prohibition era, rum in the midcentury tiki craze, and vodka in the sixties and seventies, tequila is currently the star of the spirits world. A spirit to be sipped and favored as opposed to being consumed in shot form, tequila is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from the blue agave plant, primarily in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, approximately 65km northwest of Guadalajara, and in the highlands (Los Altos) of the central western Mexican state of Jalisco. The spirit is divided into different categories, including blanco (unaged), reposado (aged between 2 to 12 months), añejo (aged between 1 to 3 years), and extra añejo (aged more than 3 years).
