Blanco and Plata
Blanco and Plata, respectively, mean "white" and "silver" in Spanish. In the field of Tequila, it can be regarded as an uncooked wine, which does not need to be aged in oak barrels. The time limit for Blanco grade Tequila to be put into oak barrels is limited to 30 days at most.
Joven abocado
Joven abocado, in Spanish, means "young and easy to drink", and this grade of wine is often referred to as Oro (golden). In terms of classification, all these wines belong to Mixto. Theoretically, there is no advanced product made of 100% Agave americana.
Reposado
Reposado, which means "rested" in Spanish, refers to a grade of wine that has been aged in oak barrels for a certain period of time, but has not yet been aged for a full year. The storage in the barrel usually makes the taste of Tequila more thick and complex, because the wine will absorb the flavor or even color of some oak barrels, and the longer the time, the darker the color. The shelf life of Reposado ranges from two months to one year. [1]
A ñ ejo
A ñ ejo, in Spanish, originally means "aged". Simply put, it refers to wines that have been aged in oak barrels for more than a year and belong to this grade without any upper limit. They must be sealed in oak barrels with a capacity of no more than 350 liters, and sealed by government officials, although it is stipulated that as long as they exceed one year, they can be called A ň Ejo, generally speaking, experts agree that the most suitable aging period for Tequila is four to five years, and the alcohol in the back bucket will volatilize too much.
