vs A\u00f1ejo vs Blanco: Different Tequilas"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>What distinguishes the <strong>different types of tequila?<\/strong> Although all types share the same origin, each variety has its own <strong>unique characteristics,<\/strong> from its <strong>taste to its colour and ageing time.<\/strong> In fact, this last characteristic is what sets apart <strong>Blanco, Reposado, and A\u00f1ejo tequilas,<\/strong> the three main varieties of tequila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tequila is also a <strong>drink with a designation of origin,<\/strong> as it can only be produced in <strong>certain regions of Mexico.<\/strong> Specifically, these are the states of <strong>Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoac\u00e1n, Nayarit,<\/strong> and <strong>Tamaulipas.<\/strong> Additionally, tequila must be made from the <strong>blue agave plant,<\/strong> using <strong>specific production methods<\/strong> and adhering to <strong>strict quality standards.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Differences between Reposado vs Blanco Tequila<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In our case, <strong>both of these tequilas have the same alcohol content, 38%.<\/strong> However, there are differences in terms of <strong>aroma, flavour, tone,<\/strong> and <strong>ageing process:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Blanco tequila,<\/strong> also known as <strong>silver or joven tequila,<\/strong> is bottled <strong>immediately after distillation<\/strong> and does not undergo any ageing process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reposado tequila,<\/strong> in our case <strong>Altos Reposado,<\/strong> is aged in <strong>handmade bourbon barrels<\/strong> for between <strong>6-8 months.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Altos Reposado has an <strong>aroma with sweet citrus notes of orange and grapefruit.<\/strong> Complementary notes of <strong>cooked agave and vanilla<\/strong> are <strong>fruity and fresh<\/strong> with a <strong>subtle woody touch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the aroma of <strong>Altos Plata<\/strong> has <strong>herbal notes of steam-cooked agave<\/strong> and <strong>fresh citrus,<\/strong> with <strong>sweet tones overall.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the <strong>taste of Altos Plata<\/strong> is <strong>sweet on the palate<\/strong> with <strong>citrus notes<\/strong> such as <strong>lime, lemon,<\/strong> and <strong>agave.<\/strong> The <strong>aftertaste is pleasant and long-lasting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Altos Reposado<\/strong> is <strong>robust yet pleasant,<\/strong> with <strong>tannins and citrus notes,<\/strong> and a <strong>long, balanced finish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we can see, there are <strong>more differences than similarities<\/strong> between <strong>gold and silver tequila.<\/strong> It all depends on what you\u2019re looking for and the <strong>cocktails you wish to prepare.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we still have one more main tequila to analyse\u2014the most aged variety, <strong>A\u00f1ejo tequila.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difference between A\u00f1ejo vs Reposado or Blanco Tequila<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve already mentioned, <strong>A\u00f1ejo is the tequila that spends the most time ageing.<\/strong> In our case, with <strong>Altos A\u00f1ejo,<\/strong> the drink must spend a <strong>minimum of 14 months in handmade bourbon barrels.<\/strong> Here are some other differences compared to other tequilas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Its <strong>aroma features the presence of sweet cooked agave,<\/strong> enhanced by <strong>notes of dried fruits<\/strong> such as <strong>raisins and almonds.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its <strong>taste is both rich and complex,<\/strong> with a <strong>silky sensation in the mouth.<\/strong> The combination of <strong>woody notes, vanilla,<\/strong> and <strong>chocolate<\/strong> blends smoothly and lingers on the palate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the industry, it is common for this type of tequila to be aged for <strong>one year,<\/strong> but we <strong>extend the process to between 14 and 18 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Olmeca Altos, the Different Tequila<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering <strong>which tequila is better\u2014Blanco, Reposado, or A\u00f1ejo\u2014<\/strong> our answer is simple: <strong>Altos Tequila.<\/strong> What truly matters isn\u2019t the type, as <strong>each one suits different specific recipes,<\/strong> but rather the <strong>quality of the tequila itself.<\/strong> Altos is a brand with the <strong>highest quality standards,<\/strong> and our tequilas are made with <strong>100% blue agave,<\/strong> in the <strong>heart of Jalisco, Mexico.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, whichever tequila you choose, <strong>Altos will elevate your cocktails to the next level.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What distinguishes the different types of tequila?
