Blanco

AGED 0-2 MONTHS. No barrel.

Has the most raw natural tequila 'bite'. This is a more harsh taste compared to the aged tequila.

Never sees the inside of a wood barrel, which is why itā€™s white.

Could also be referred to as:
silver
white

Reposado

AGED 2-12 MONTHS in Barrel.

Develops sweetness from sitting in a wood barrel and has less of the 'bite' you taste in the blanco.

Turns to a yellow/gold color. Different brands have varying shades of this yellow color.

Could also be referred to as:
yellow
aged
rested

AƱejo

AGED 1-3 YEARS in barrel

Develops even more sweetness with the extended barrel time. Matures with hints of caramel honey type flavors.

Turns to a dark yellow, orange, or light brown color.

An excellent choice
for the whiskey enthusiast

Extra AƱejo

AGED 3+ YEARS in barrel
+ Often filtered

Develops a highly unique flavor profile and silky smoothness.

Some extra aƱejos are filtered and/or redistilled. This removes the color it gets from the barrel, as well as adds extra flavor & silky smoothness.

Some companies have a special name for this
don julio 70
herradura ultra
etc.
