Tequila Styles & Descriptions

TEQUILA SILVER
A Blue Agave spirit in its purest form. It is clear and typically un-aged. You can expect true flavors, Agave intensity, as well as natural sweetness. Silver can be bottled directly after distillation, or stored in stainless steel tanks to settle for up to 4 weeks. There are some Silver products that are aged for up to 2 months to provide a smoother or “Suave” spirit.

TEQUILA JOVEN
This youthful edge of a Silver is blended with a small amount of older Tequilas to add richer flavour, more mature characteristics found in reposados and añejos.

TEQUILA RESPOSADO
A “rested and aged” spirit, the Reposado Tequila is aged in wood barrels or storage tanks between 2 months and 11 months. The spirit takes on a golden hue and the taste becomes a good balance between Agave and wood flavors. Different types of wood barrels are used for aging, with the most common being American or French oak. Some Reposados are aged in used bourbon/whiskey, cognac, or wine barrels, and therefore, will inherit unique flavors from the previous spirits.

TEQUILA AÑEJO
If barreled for at least one year, “Añejos” can be classified as aged. The distillers are required to age them in barrels that do not exceed 600 liters. This aging process darkens the Tequila to an amber/caramel color. The flavor can become smoother, richer, and more complex. Resposados are unique in their own weight.

EXTRA AÑEJO
A new classification, only dating back to 2006, “Extra Añejo” means it has the Tequila has been aged for 3 years or more. Following the same rule as an “Añejo,” the distillers age the spirit in barrels or containers with a maximum capacity of 600 liters. With this extended amount of aging, this Tequila becomes much darker, gaining a Mahogany color. Some spirits are so rich that it becomes difficult to distinguish it from other quality aged spirits. After the aging process, the alcohol content must be diluted by adding distilled water. These Extra Añejo’s are extremely smooth and complex.

MEZCAL
Is a distilled spirit made from the maguey plant native to Mexico. The word Mezcal comes from Nahuatl mexcalli language, meaning “oven-cooked agave.” The maguey grows in many parts of Mexico, though most Mezcal is made in Oaxaca. There is a saying attributed to Oaxaca regarding the drink: “para todo mal, Mezcal, y para todo bien también” (“for everything bad, take Mezcal; for everything good, do the same”).

SOTOL
Is a distilled spirit made from the Dasylirion wheeleri (commonly known as Desert Spoon or, in Spanish, Sotol). This plant grows in northern Mexico and is known as the state drink of Chihuahua, Durango and Coahuila. There are few commercial examples available. It is produced in a manner similar to artisanal Mezcals of central Mexico.
