Tequila Classifications
Plata or Blanco (Silver or White) - When the clear white tequila drips from the cooling coils of the alambique, it is correctly called silver or plata, but is more commonly called white or blanco. Clear, unaged tequila, that is normally bottled right after distillation. Blanco tequila products also called "Silver" or Plata (Spanish).
Joven or Suave (Young or Smooth) - After distillation some producers allow the tequila to settle and finish for a few weeks in the tanks before bottling. Some add coloring or herbs which impart a pale golden color and then age for one or two more months. These tequilas are often called suave, joven, gold, or abocado, implying youth and smoothness.
Reposado ("Rested") - The first definitive level of aging is termed reposado or rested and mandates that the tequila remain in wood for a period of two months to 12 months. Typically aged in large wooden tanks between 3 and 9 months. The wood imparts color and flavorings to the tequila. Reposado tequila products are commonly referred to and labeled as "Gold" tequilas.
Anejo (Aged or Vintage) - Anejo, which means "vintage", can only appear on bottles that contain tequila aged a minimum of one year. A year of resting in a cool bodega produces a smoother and more sophisticated taste. American whiskey barrels, french oak casks, or cognac barrels, are commonly used to age the tequila. Anejos are typically aged between 1 and 3 years. They are darker in color, more complex in flavor, and smoother than reposado tequilas.
