Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Number Juan use seven-year-old agave plants?

Blue Weber agave used for tequila production can be harvested anywhere from 6 to 12 years depending on the growing region and the producer’s philosophy. Jalisco Lowlands agave typically matures faster (5–7 years) than Highlands agave, which takes longer due to cooler temperatures and higher altitude. Seven-year-old plants represent a deliberate choice to allow fuller sugar development in the piña (the harvested agave heart) before harvest — older agave generally produces more complex and intense flavor from the cooked piñas compared to agave harvested at the minimum age. This extends production timelines and increases raw material cost but produces a richer agave base for distillation.

What is the spring water from the Tequila volcano and why does it matter?

The Tequila volcano (Volcán de Tequila) in Jalisco is an extinct stratovolcano whose surrounding geology produces naturally filtered spring water with a distinctive mineral profile from contact with volcanic rock. The mineral content of distillation water affects the fermentation process — certain minerals support yeast activity while others can inhibit it — and contributes to the final flavor profile of the spirit in ways that are difficult to replicate with standard municipal or well water. Distilleries in the region have used this water source for generations, and its specific mineral composition is considered a terroir element of authentic Jalisco tequila production.
