Tequila: A Tasting Course

Tequila is the spirit of Jalisco — made from the blue agave plant that grows only in specific regions of Mexico, produced by a tradition that stretches back centuries before the first European arrived in the Americas, and now one of the world’s most dynamic and rapidly evolving spirits categories. DK’s Tequila: A Tasting Course presents the complete story — from the biology of the agave and the methods of production through the major brands, key expressions, and the art of tasting tequila at its finest.

Each expression is described with professional tasting notes covering appearance, aroma, palate, and finish. The mezcal tradition — tequila’s broader and more ancient relative — receives extended treatment alongside the more familiar tequila categories.

The essential guide for tequila enthusiasts — and the ideal introduction for anyone who wants to explore one of the world’s most fascinating spirits. Published by DK.
