The Truth About the Worm in Tequila (It’s Not What You Think)
About this episode
The truth about the worm in tequila might surprise you. There is no worm in real tequila — the tequila worm myth actually comes from mezcal, not 100% blue weber agave tequila. Most people believe tequila has a worm in the bottle, but that’s completely false. In this episode of Tasting Tequila with Brad, I break down where the worm myth started, why tequila never had a worm, and how mezcal marketing created decades of confusion. We’ll cover: • The real origin of the mezcal worm • Why tequila regulations don’t allow it • The difference between tequila and mezcal • Why this myth refuses to die • What’s actually in 100% blue weber agave tequila If you love tequila education, additive-free tequila, NOM breakdowns, distillery insights, and myth-busting content — subscribe and join the agave community. #Tequila #TequilaMyths #WormInTequila #TequilaFacts #Mezcal #MezcalVsTequila #AgaveSpirits #BlueWeberAgave #TequilaEducation #AdditiveFreeTequila #TequilaTruth #TequilaHistory #TequilaExplained #TastingTequilaWithBrad #TequilaLovers © Tasting Tequila with Brad
