Only Blue Agave spirit produced in the Jalisco Province of Mexico can be called tequila. This one is produced from the Blue Agave Americana plant (a close relative to the Blue Agave Weber found in Mexico) which grows wild in the dry Desolation Valley in South Africa. People who have tasted both agree that this is virtually identical to tequila. Price $ 30.95
