Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tequila?

Tequila is a distilled spirit made exclusively from the blue Weber agave plant, primarily grown and harvested in designated regions of Mexico. For tequila to be legally recognized as such, it must come from one of five states: Jalisco (where most tequila is produced), Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. It’s one of the world’s most regulated spirits, requiring strict adherence to traditional production methods. Don Levi Tequila proudly follows these authentic methods, ensuring a product that celebrates Mexico’s tequila heritage while resonating with a global audience.

What does 100% agave mean?

Tequilas labeled as 100% blue agave, like Don Levi, are crafted exclusively from blue Weber agave, with no added sugars or flavourings. This commitment to pure ingredients highlights the agave's natural flavorus, giving a smooth and full-bodied taste compared to "mixto" tequilas which usually are 51% agave and 49% added sugars.
