First off, all Tequilas are Mezcals, but not all Mezcals are Tequilas.
Tequila must be made from at least 51% Blue Agave and must be made in the tequila region of Mexico. Anything less, or outside of the Tequila region is known as a Mezcal.
Mezcals can be made anywhere in the world, and be made from either green or blue agave.
The famous gusano worm is only found in some Mezcals - never tequila. The gusano worm does not eat the blue agave. They only eat green agaves.
Tequila is a particular type of mezcal, made from the blue agave.
Two different kinds of spirits. Whisk(e)y is made with one or a number of grains and mezcal/tequila are made with agave.
Tequila is distilled from fermented blue agave in the Tequila region of Mexico. Vodka is distilled from grain or potatoes.
There is a distinct difference in flavors, too.

What alcoholic drink is distilled from the agave plant?
There are a few but the most common is mezcal. It is a spirit distilled from the beer, or mash, made from the hearts of agaves. There are 3 basic types of mezcal; reposado, anejo, and white(or dorado[golden]). White and dorado mezcals are not aged but distilled and bottled, the golden is just colored white mezcal. Reposado is aged in clay pots or barrels for 2 to 9 months to gain color and flavor. Anejo is aged at least 18 months often in wooden barrels and is more like a whiskey. Mezcal can be made from any of a few different maguey agaves, [there are about 120 species] with other possible ingredients comprising up to 40% of the product. Tequila mezcal is made strictly within guidelines set by the government and within the boundaries of the state of Jalisco and selected parts of bordering states, only blue agave is used in making tequila. No worm is added to tequila, only mezcal might have the worm added. Pulque is another beverage made from maguey, it is not used in the production of mezcal, it is recognized as a separate beverage. Tequila is a mezcal - mezcal is not tequila.

What liquor has a worm in the bottle?
Actually, no "Tequila" has a worm in it because the gusano worm of which you are referring actually doesn't eat the Blue Agave which is used to make tequila. The gusano worms eat green agaves, which as used to make Mezcals (which are similar to tequilas, and often mistaken for tequila, but is not tequila.) However, that said, I believe you are looking for the brand MEZCAL. Every bottle - even the small 50mls has a worm in the bottle.
