A little bit of history about El Recuerdo se Oaxaca Abocado con Gusano...

It is said that this is a way of putting a worm in the tequila, this brand started to do it in order to differentiate it from the rest in the time when there was the dry law and the bottles were not labelled, so it was different from others.

Another theory is that it is an indicator of quality. It is said that if the worm holds without decomposing, it is an indicator that the alcohol is preserving it, thus being of quality.

But does the worm add flavour?

Let me tell you. Tequila comes from a plant, the agave. This particular bottle is made from the worm-damaged agave leaves, which does not mean it is of poorer quality or unhygienic, it is even a delicacy.

In conclusion, it does not taste like worms, but it does have a different taste because they use this type of leaves.
