3) Tamaulipas produces tequila that is earthy and rich, with few fruit notes
4) the lowlands region of Jalisco produces tequila that is earthy, spicy and pungent

Answer 1

The false statement is that Tamaulipas is known for producing earthy and rich tequila, as it's not recognized in the same way as Jalisco for tequila production.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is NOT true about where tequila is produced in Mexico is: 3) Tamaulipas produces tequila that is earthy and rich, with few fruit notes. While it is accurate to say that Jalisco is the center of tequila production in Mexico, and the different regions within Jalisco, such as Los Altos Highlands and the lowlands, produce tequila with distinct flavors, Tamaulipas is not a region known for producing tequila.

By law, tequila can only be produced in the state of Jalisco and certain municipalities in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas; however, Tamaulipas is not specifically known for its tequila production. This region is not as recognized for tequila as the areas within Jalisco which are famed for their tequila with unique tastes attributed to their geographical locations and production methods.
