Añejos are made for sipping. Either neat or with a large ice cube. Take your time and enjoy the ride. Comparison of Popular Brands Don Julio is one of the widest distributed tequilas.

Tequila producers can add caramel coloring without disclosing it, even in “100% agave” bottles. For reposado it is lighter than others, much closer to a Joven that expected, which goes some way to explain the rest of the experience. It is a pale golden colour and when poured is a watery consistency. Aroma Añejo is better than a reposado because it develops more character and flavor due to the long aging process compared to a Blanco tequila.

While Margaritas can take many shapes, from the familiar mango and strawberry to the more experimental variations that incorporate cold brew coffee or even fresh horseradish, the beauty of a Margarita is its simplicity: tequila, orange liqueur, lime, and simple syrup. It’s because of this simple preparation that the quality of those ingredients matters most. The limes should be freshly squeezed, the orange liqueur should be of high quality, and the spirit, well, that should always be the star of the show.

Patrón Tequila has announced the launch of its latest ultra-premium range with the limited release of Patrón Ahumado Silver and Reposado. Essentially, all tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. Mezcal is a general category for all agave-based distillates. Tequila is mezcal that must be produced using the blue agave plant within the Mexican state of Jalisco and four of its neighboring states. Beyond the legal definition, reposado tequila is not produced, as is mezcal, by pit-roasting the agave. Therefore, it does not have mezcal’s signature smokiness. The rules for tequila categories and what you call them are controlled by Mexico’s Tequila Regulatory Council ( Consejo Regulador del Tequila, or CRT). The official rules are known as the NOM or Norma Oficial Mexicana.

No one’s stopping you from shooting añejo. For that matter, no one’s stopping you from mixing it with coke. But the more pragmatic choice for shots is a reposado. Best for margaritas: Reposado Patron tequila is made by fermenting the fruit of the blue agave plant. The plant takes a long time to mature, taking nearly eight to ten years to reach the perfect level of ripeness. Añejo tequila: Añejo tequilas undergo a longer aging process, which results in a richer, sometimes more complex flavor profile. The extended time spent in oak barrels softens the agave taste and imparts deeper notes of dried fruits, chocolate, toffee, and an enhanced oak presence. Additional spices and a hint of smokiness may also be detected. Mexican baked white fish in cilantro sauce is another light seafood dish to serve alongside the PATRÓN Silver Classic Margarita for a complex flavor combination. This tasty main course is usually made with tilapia filets but can be substituted with halibut or another white fish. The tasty marinade of blended lemon juice, garlic, and onion also doubles as a flavorful and stunning green sauce for serving.The second syllable, “nyeh,” has a ‘ñ’ sound, which is similar to the ‘ny’ in the English word “canyon.” Make sure to enunciate the ‘e’ sound as in “yes.” Añejos are not necessarily better than blancos just because of extra aging and a higher price. The flavors of agave are complex and interesting enough to drink it unaged. Contrast this to other spirits like whiskey where most of the desirable flavors come from the wood itself. For whiskies, it’s mostly the case that more years aging results in a better product. Decadent and luxurious are just some of the adjectives used to describe tequilas that fall into the extra añejo category. A newer class that was added in 2006, these premium tequilas are barrel-aged for a minimum of three years (also in barrels that cannot exceed 600 liters), but can spend even longer in wood depending on the distiller. Varying in color from deep gold to reddish-brown, extra añejos are smooth, complex, and offer drinkers a unique experience like no other spirit. Cristalino
