July 24 is National Tequila Day and we have a story for you!  Jose Hermosillo, seventh generation tequila producer and owner of Casa Noble Tequila will share the history of Mexico’s most popular spirit. This  popular spirit boasts an appellation or denomination of origin. Distilled from the nectar of the Weber blue agave, tequila dates from the 16th century. It may have originated in the Mexican town of Amatitan, Jalisco, where a pre-Hispanic distillery has been discovered in El Tecuane Canyon. We will discuss the rise in popularity of Tequila in the U.S including the steady growth of this spirit.
