This mixto tequila is a blend of both blanco and reposado tequila and, of course, is not 100% agave.

    Distilled from at least 51% blue Weber agave, the remaining 49% can be other sugars (usually sugarcane or corn syrup). Gold is not aged; caramel coloring provides color. Blanco is not usually barrel aged, but can be up to 30 days. Reposado is aged at least 2 months. Añejo is aged at least one year. Extra Añejo is aged at least 3 years.

Tasting Notes

"On the nose, this tequila offers a sharp alcohol burn, with very slight notes of orange peel and Confectioners’ sugar detectable. On the palate, a big hit of sugar and a strong alcohol burn dominate, with no agave notes present. As the flavors recede, a bitter, astringent herbal note appears, before a grapefruit and cracked black pepper finish leaves a strong alcohol note at the end. While the Cuervo distillery has a long history and produces some excellent tequilas at higher levels, Cuervo Gold is a disappointment and can only be recommended for cocktails that mask the flavors of this spirit."
