What kind of tequila is smoothest?

Aged tequila is generally the smoothest. Reposado and añejo spend time in oak barrels, which rounds off the sharp alcohol edge of unaged blanco and adds vanilla, caramel and spice. Smoothness is still partly personal.

Some drinkers find añejo's heavy oak too bold, which is why many land on reposado, where agave and oak share the glass. Our guide to what is reposado tequila compares each category, and what is sipping tequila explains how serving temperature affects the pour. Always choose 100% agave.

TROPA Reposado rests three months in American oak and finishes smooth and rounded, with subtle sweetness and a slight umami note. For a richer, longer-aged style, watch for the next TROPA Añejo drop.
