BLANCO (white)  

Blanco tequila is bottled directly after the last distillation and ready to drink.  This is tequila in its purest form. Blanco tequila, sometimes referred to as the “essence of tequila” or “new tequila” is characterized by its clarity and pure blue agave flavour. Blanco tequilas do not go through the aging process in oak barrels. Tequila blanco makes a greater sipper but equally enjoyable as a mixing tequila for your favourite cocktails like the zesty Paloma, a traditional Margarita, or tangy Bloody Maria.

One could say this is a true-to-plant spirit, with a crisp and bold no nonsense taste profile with notes of grass, pepper, citrus and of course, agave.

Reposado (rested)  

To be considered a reposado tequila, the agave distillate is aged in oak barrels for a minimum 2 months and a maximum 12 months. Reposado tequila is 100% blue agave, with a range in colour from faint brown or a subtle golden colour, to a darker golden colour, a result depending on the variety of the barrel used in the aging process. Best for sipping, but also a great whisky substitute in an Old Fashioned or Tequila Sour.

Reposado tequila combines the classic tequila pepper, spice and citrus, with lovely accents of chocolate, vanilla and fresh chilis. And like your favourite whisky, a delicious smoky finish.

Añejo (vintage)

These rich and complex tequilas have been aged 1 to 3 years in oak barrels no larger than 600 litres. Deep amber in colour, the aging barrels impart the woodiness of their oak and create a sophisticated taste profile. A relative term, this “vintage” class of tequila is meant to be sipped but also makes a great whisky substitute in an Añejo Manhattan or Spicy Margarita.

Añejo tequilas share a toasty, slightly oaky and spicy, with vanilla, caramel and citrus finish.

Extra Añejo 

These are the heavy weights of the tequila world, often compared to fine French Cognac. And only tequila aged at least 3 years in oak barrels, also with a max capacity of 600 litres, earn the title. Aging tequila for this long is a new concept (given its class status in 2006 and has been embraced the world over as a decadent and luxurious spirit.  Rich deep gold, reddish-brown and rust coloured in some, these “Extra Vintage” tequilas are for sipping, neat or on the rocks. 

While no two are alike, Extra Añejo tequilas share a complexity in nose, taste, and finish like no other variety.  Characterized by smooth, spicy smoke, honey, vanilla, caramel, and fruit, Extra Añejo typically have a long and refined finish.
