What does tequila taste like?

Not all tequilas taste the same, but most will feature hints of the core ingredient, cooked agave. Blanco tequila like PATRÓN Silver will often offer a sweet and smooth flavor with a crisp, clean taste. Reposado tequila can be smoother with a subtle oak flavor. Because añejo is aged for longer, it can develop a richer, more complex woody flavor. Extra añejo will be deeply nuanced with an exceptionally smooth finish.

To learn which one you like best, you may have to experiment—but don’t worry, we have the perfect guide to learn more.
