What Is Tila Tequila Age
Tila tequila age refers to how long the spirit has been matured in oak barrels. Age affects flavor, color, and smoothness. Common categories include blanco, reposado, and añejo.
Legal Drinking Age for Tequila
In the United States, the legal drinking age is 21. This applies to all alcohol, including tequila. In Mexico, the legal purchase age is also 18, but many bars and stores follow 21 for tourists.
How Age Affects Tequila
Blanco tequila is typically unaged or aged less than two months. Reposado ages two months to one year, gaining light oak notes. Añejo ages one to three years, producing a richer, smoother profile.
