Where can tequila be made in Mexico

Under Mexican law, tequila must be made in a location certified by a Consejo Regulador del Tequila (CRT) in one of five Mexican states: Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacan, Nayarit and Tamaulipas. Most of the 150-plus distilleries that meet these requirements are located in Jalisco in the Tequila Valley, which can be divided into two main production regions: the highlands and the lowlands. Tequilas from the highlands are known for their natural sweetness while lowlands tequilas are much spicier.
