What Tequila Should You Buy💰? The Different Categories of Tequila
Compartilhar
There are five types of tequila within specific categories – Blanco (Silver), Joven (Gold), Reposado (Aged), Añejo (Extra aged) and Extra Añejo (Ultra-aged). There are two categories of tequila – 100% de Agave, and Mixted (Mixto).
➡️ Tequila that is 100% de Agave is made with only the sugars of the Weber blue agave. Tequila, commonly called Mixted (Mixto) is made using 51% agave sugars and 49% other sugars. Each of the tequila categories has distinct characteristics described in this short clip.
➡️ UPDATE!!!!!!!!!! We didnt mention Cristalino during the filming because it was just arriving to market, but we wanted to give some information about it.
Cristalino is essentially añejo, or aged, tequila that has been filtered (often through charcoal) to remove the naturally occurring colors it picks up from spending time inside the barrel. The filtration process strips the color and some of the tequila’s woodier notes without removing the rich flavors and textures imparted by the barrel.
