105/365 Tequila factory tour

Gilbert gave us a tour of his families small tequila factory.  The Leyva family has been making tequila for over 100 years.  He's standing in front of a pile of freshly harvested agave plants.

After cooking the plants in an underground pit filled with hot lava rocks for seven days, the plants are removed and chopped up...ready for fermentation. 

Gilbert pours samples for the tour guests.  They had a chocolate tequila that was soooo good and soooo dangerous.

Salud!
