100% Agave Tequila Sales Skyrocket

| | As Tequila sales skyrocket, first American producer claims responsibility. |
Temecula, CA - Is an American company responsible for the record sales of Tequila? The Mexican Tequila Regulatory Council recently announced sales of 100% agave spirits, commonly referred to as Premium Tequila, grew by 34.61 percent, from 15.6 million liters (4 million gallons) in 2005 to 21 million liters (5.5 million gallons) in 2005.
"In spite of the controversy surrounding our Made In the USA alternative, sales of premium tequila have skyrocketed", said JB Wagoner, Master Distiller from Skyrocket Distillers LLC. "I don't now if we had much to do with this increased demand and public awareness, but I'll claim it anyway!" Wagoner said gleefully.
Skyrocket Distillers LLC began shipping "JB Wagoner's Ultra Premium 100% Blue Agave Spirits" in 2005 - the first domestically produced 100% blue agave spirit. It's made in small batches using a proprietary distillation system which produces an ultra pure liquor-low in hangover producing compounds.
What's The Difference?
Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant. The best tequilas are always made from 100% blue agave and are typically 80 proof. Skyrocket's product, JB Wagoner's Ultra Premium is also 100% blue agave and 100 proof. It cannot legally be called tequila because, unlike the other blue agave spirits, JB Wagoner's is made in the United States instead of Mexico.
About Skyrocket Distillers LLC
Skyrocket Distillers LLC was inadvertently started when the company's founder, JB Wagoner, began growing agaves as an alternative to water hungry avocados, whose prices were being adversely affected by new NAFTA regulations. The distinctive red, white and blue bottle, with its prominent "Made in the USA" label, was designed to eliminate any question as to its country of origin.
