Answer
100% agave tequila
Answer
100% agave tequila
Tequila made entirely from sugars of the blue Weber agave is called 100% agave tequila.
Under Mexico’s tequila rules, 100% agave tequila must obtain all of its fermentable sugars from Agave tequilana Weber var. azul, commonly called blue Weber agave. The label normally states “100% agave” or an equivalent approved wording.
This category differs from mixto tequila, which may contain at least 51% agave-derived sugars and can use other sugars for the remainder. Both are legally tequila, but the label distinction tells consumers how the fermentable sugar base was sourced.
“100% agave” describes the sugar source, not the tequila’s aging category. A 100% agave tequila can be blanco, reposado, añejo, or extra añejo. Conversely, terms such as reposado describe maturation and do not by themselves guarantee that every fermentable sugar came from agave.
