The distillation takes place in copper or stainless steel pot stills or in continuous distillation towers
Tequila is distilled twice. The first distillation is known as smashing (destrozamiento), it takes a couple of hours and it yields the “ordinario”, meaning a liquid with an alcohol level of around 20%
The second distillation, also known as “rectificación”, takes between 3 to 4 hours. The result of this process is a liquid with an alcohol level near 55%
During the distillation processes, the substances are divided into 3 parts. The heads (cabezas), that contain unwanted aldehydes, are disposed of. The heart (corazon) is used for the Tequila, while the tails (colas) are sometimes recycled in the following distillation and other times are simply discarded
After the second distillation, a transparent liquid is obtained that can already be considered as silver Tequila or it can be aged to become another type of Tequila
