Barrel aging" brings character to 100% agave tequila
The appeal of tequila is not only its precious raw materials.
After distillation, it may be bottled and shipped fresh and fragrant, but the type recommended for whiskey lovers is the one that has undergone barrel aging.
There are variations in the type of barrels used for aging, ranging from French oak to sherry, cognac, and wine barrels. In some cases, after aging in new French oak barrels, the original wine is transferred to sherry barrels for further aging to complete the process.
Also, in general, the age of tequila is indicated by its designation.
Those that are unaged or aged less than 60 days are called 'plata,' 'blanco,' or 'silver'; those aged two months or more are called 'reposado,' those aged one year or more 'anejo,' and those aged three years or more 'extra aejo.'
In addition to the unique fruity flavor and sweetness of agave, the rich aroma of the barrel and the deep richness of tequila, like whiskey or brandy, are the main attractions of tequila.
Now that you have heard all this, you probably have a good idea of why you should take the time to savor it.
