Frequently Asked Questions About Tequila
What is the difference between blanco, reposado, and añejo tequila?
Blanco (or silver) is unaged or aged less than 2 months, offering pure agave flavor. Reposado is aged 2-12 months in oak, adding smoothness and subtle wood notes. Añejo is aged 1-3 years, producing rich, complex flavors with pronounced barrel influence.
What does the NOM number on tequila mean?
The NOM (Norma Oficial Mexicana) number identifies the distillery where the tequila was produced. It's a useful tool for understanding which distillery makes a particular brand, as many distilleries produce tequila for multiple labels.
Can I find artisanal and small-batch tequila in NC?
Yes. Dorado Rock represents small-production tequila brands that use traditional methods like stone ovens and copper pot stills. These are available through NC ABC special orders.
