2. The derivation of it from the
experimentation, alcohol content.
Sugar cane and grapes, essential
ingredients for beverage alcohol, were
two of the earliest crops introduced
into the New World but their use as a
source of distillation was opposed by
the Spanish Crown, fearing unrest
from producers at home.
3. Still requiring a source of tax revenue,
alcohol manufactured from local raw
materials such as maguey was
encouraged instead.
4. The government had to receive tax for
the sales generated. The production of
the drink is a lengthy process, and it is
preserved in earthen pots. It is
marketed by small-scale producers.
5. The whole is engaged in the
production. The method is of the
traditional type.
