Photo: Grace Quast Whatever you do, don t call it tequila! says Black Snake Distillery founder Stephen Beale, who makes a spirit from wild agave plants that grow along the creek at his family farm in Narrabri, about 500 kilometres north-west of Sydney. Agave is a weed out here. The plants grow from pups [offshoots] that washed down from a farm upstream where they were planted a hundred years ago.
From those weeds, Beale and his partner Rosemary Smith make a tequila-like spirit at their solar-powered distillery. Beale explains that tequila is made in just five states in Mexico and, by definition, must be made from blue agave (Agave tequilana).
