## Resource

I Took a Level 3 Tequila Sommelier Exam… Did I Pass?! I took the Level 3 Tequila Sommelier Certification through the International Tequila Academy… and just finished my final exam. Did I pass? Here’s what I learned about tequila, production, and how to research brands and distilleries. In this video, I break down my experience going through one of the most advanced tequila certification programs available. From fermentation and distillation to understanding NOMs and spotting the difference between marketing and real production methods—this course pushed my knowledge to the next level. If you’re serious about tequila, agave spirits, or want to deepen your understanding beyond just tasting… this is worth looking into. I’ll also be sitting down soon with one of the founders to go even deeper into tequila education and the industry. Topics covered: * Level 3 Tequila Sommelier Certification * How to research tequila brands and distilleries * Understanding NOM numbers * Production methods that impact flavor * What separates beginners from true tequila aficionados Let me know in the comments: Do you think I passed? © Tasting Tequila with Brad
