[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2853897, member: 13337"] [B]Silver[/B] Tequila is bottled directly from the vat,,, There is no aging involved at all. This doesn't mean it's harsh or bad,,, But it will almost always be sharper in taste. A truly fine silver is Maestro Dobel. [B]Reposado[/B] means rested. This Tequila is aged for at least three months in wood barrels,,, Typically it will have a very slight color from the wood. A very good reposado is Hussongs. [B]Anejo[/B] is aged in wood barrels for at least one year,,, It will have the most flavor of the cactus juices,,, And a bit more yellow color than reposado. My favorite Anejo is Heradura. The Mexican government owns the copyright on the word Tequila,,, And they regulate how it's used very carefully. By Mexican law, if a Tequila has the word [B][/B][I]gold[/I] in the name (such as Quervo Gold),,, That means it has had caramel added to give it the look of an Anejo tequila. Recently the government allowed the name Tequila to be used in flavored Tequilas,,, Avion makes excellent Silver, Reposado, and Anejo Tequilas,,, They also make Avion Espresso which is coffee flavored. That stuff, in my not-so-humble opinion,,, Is true Nectar of the Gods. Patron also makes an espresso but it costs twice what the Avion does,,, And quite frankly isn't worth the price difference. Patron tastes great but not great enough to justify the much higher prices. Even more recently some distillers have been using used whiskey barrels to age their Tequila,,, An excellent example is Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila,,, It definitely has a whiskey tinge to it's taste. I don't know whether this is gospel truth or not,,, But a liquor distributor told me they use old Jack Daniels barrels. I've only recently discovered the concept of Sippin' Tequila,,, Up to then I thought that Jose Quervo was supposed to be "the good stuff". I started going to Mexico Joe's in Stillwater about 2 years ago,,, They have a Tequila bar with (at the time) 31 flavors,,, They were the Baskin-Robbins of Cactus Juice. A friend offered to buy me a shot of Hussongs Reposado,,, I said okay because a free shot is, well, free. I started to do the salt and lime thing,,, He gave me the evil eye and said to stop,,, "This is sippin' Tequila " he said, so I tried it neat but chilled. The clouds parted and I was amazed,,, Tequila isn't rot gut liquor at all,,, Cheap Tequila (Quervo) is. If you are ever in Stillwater, stop in at Mexico Joe's and try a shot of something nice,,, Don't be shocked by the $5.50 to $6.50 price though,,, All Tequila shots are a measured two ounces. That's several good sips of agave goodness,,, Order it "Naked and Shivering",,, Neat and chilled. Tell them Aarond sent you,,, It won't lower your tab by even a penny,,, But they will know I sent you and you'll be well taken care of. Aarond P.S. An interesting fact is that recently a team of Mexican scientists discovered that you can turn Tequila into diamonds,,, They do it by superheating the Tequila and letting the gas cool on stainless steel plates,,, This produces a molecular film of high quality industrial diamonds. Apparently Tequila has the ideal carbon to water ration for this process,,, Other liquors such as Vodka and Whiskey can be used,,, But their diamonds are inferior quality. What I wanna know is,,, How much Tequila did those scientists have to drink,,, Before one said to the other, "Hey, I wonder if we can turn this stuff into diamonds?" . [/QUOTE]
