El añejo: Es el que se madura un año por lo menos en barricas de roble blanco, nuevas o de segundo uso de 600 lts de capacidad. Su color va de un dorado fuerte a un ámbar oscuro. Su sabor está fuertemente impregnado con la madera. Se pueden añejar varios años (hasta 10). Su graduación alcohólica es de 35 a 55ºGL. Es el más sofisticado y refinado de todos. El resultado de las mezclas de Tequila añejo con Tequila extra añejo se considera como Tequila añejo
Tequila añejo is aged longer than Reposado. Blanco is aged for the least amount of time, then Reposado, then Añejo, and they each have distinct flavors. Like wine, the bottle of Añejo is smoother and of a higher quality. I was told in Mexico that the añejo and reposado are for drinking and the blanco is for mixing.
Really, there is this website called Google.com that is so cool when it comes to finding stuff like this. You really should try it.
Here is what I found using Google. Tequila.net
