What Is Premium Tequila?

Tequila is a fermented and distilled spirit made from the Weber blue agave plant. Beloved for its smooth, fruity finish and stimulating properties, this Mexican spirit is a staple in home bars all over the world—and you can find the finest varieties at Barbank. 

Where Does Tequila Come From?

Like champagne or parmesan cheese, tequila gets its name from the region of the world where it’s produced—and it must be produced in an officially designated region to earn its title. Tequila can be made in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, Tamaulipas, and Jalisco, where you’ll find its namesake municipality. A source of national pride with indigenous roots, “tequila” comes from the Nahuatl language, spoken by the region’s indigenous Nahuatl people. 

How Is Premium Tequila Made?

The process of making great tequila is even more involved than that of other spirits. While modern farming techniques have made it easier to harvest the grains and fruit used to make vodka, gin, and whiskey, agave must be harvested by hand. Jimadors (specialized agave farmers) cut the agave plant cores out by hand, using centuries-old techniques. The cores, called piñas, are crushed to create the fermentation mash, mosto. The mosto is fermented and distilled, then aged to perfection.

How Many Calories Are In Tequila? 

When it comes to spirits, tequila is a great lower-calorie option. There are around 95-100 calories in a one-and-a-half-ounce serving of tequila.

How Much Sugar Is In Tequila? 

Due to the fermentation and distillation process, tequila contains zero sugar. It’s also got zero carbohydrates—a wise choice for folks who are health-conscious.

What Are The Different Types of Premium Tequila? 

From sweet, complex añejos to ultra-clean cristalino, there’s a tequila that suits every taste—here’s a primer on the most common ones. 

Añejo Tequila 

Añejo translates to “old.” Aged in oak barrels for a range of one to three years, añejo tequila displays warming, sweet notes that may recall bourbon. Because they’re perfect for sipping and savoring, añejos often come at a premium price. Añejo tequila is often considered the best type of sipping tequila.

Extra Añejo Tequila

Similar to Añejo, Extra Añejo tequila is aged in oak barrels, but at least for three years, and is considered the highest classification of Aged tequila. The longer aging process results in a darker, smoother, and more complex flavor that is highly prized by tequila enthusiasts.

Blanco Tequila

Blanco translates to “white,” even though Blanco tequila is typically referred to as silver tequila in English. Blanco is unaged and is never kept in a wooden barrel, which means that the flavor of the agave comes through beautifully. Bright and bold, it’s a favorite in mixed drinks.

Reposado Tequila

Reposado, or “rested” tequila, is aged for less than a year in wooden oak barrels. Consider reposado tequila, a balanced combination of añejo’s smooth sweetness and Blanco's bright bite. This aged tequila is also perfect as a sipping tequila because of its character and body. Learn more about Reposado Tequila.

Gold Tequila

Tequila takes on a golden color from the aging process, but any tequila that’s gold without carrying an “añejo” or “reposado” distinction is probably colored with additives or blended from a mixture of silver tequila and aged tequila.

Cristalino Tequila

A relative newcomer, this high-end, limited edition type of tequila is aged, and then charcoal filtered for a softer, smoother finish and a crystal-clear appearance.

What Mixes Well With Tequila?
