Tequila comes in different types depending on its aging process—Blanco (unaged or aged for up to 2 months), Reposado (aged 2 to 12 months), Añejo (aged 1 to 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each level offers distinct flavor profiles, from fresh and earthy to rich and woody.
Añejo and Extra Añejo take the aging process further, with the former being aged for one to three years and the latter for over three years. This extended aging allows the tequila to absorb deeper, more complex flavors from the oak barrels, offering notes of chocolate, tobacco, and dark fruit. The aging process not only adds complexity to the taste but also to the experience of sipping tequila, making it comparable to fine whiskeys and cognacs.
