On the other hand, gold tequila, also known as oro, is aged in oak barrels, which gives it a rich, smooth flavor. The aging process can last from a few months to several years, resulting in a complex, nuanced taste. Some gold tequilas are even infused with flavorings, like vanilla or caramel, to give them a unique twist.
Now, here's a fun fact: did you know that some gold tequilas are actually blended with other spirits, like sugar cane or grape spirits? This blending process is called mixto, and it's a common practice in the tequila industry. But don't worry, 100% agave tequilas are still the gold standard (pun intended)!
