Opinions Upon the Great Anejo Tequila Barrel Controversy - 0 views

  Many anejo tequila suppliers employ brand new French barrels given it helps to make the tequila better, however is this true? Actually, using new barrels is not most desirable at all, but for brands with profit margins to protect it's become a necessary evil in the tequila industry. Aged tequila will involve barrels, and most often used barrels to impart additional tastes and intricacies, on the other hand what if there aren't any used barrels existing?
  
  Used barrels have rapidly become a precious commodity in tequila production, and consider, as the top notch aged sector of the tequila market has grown over 40% in the last 10 years, the market for many "Dark Liquor" products (the source of tequila aging barrels) has stayed the same or declined. This is no problem for the small batch, boutique brand. On the other hand the big company that cranks out tequila by the container full might not be able to obtain enough barrels. Maybe not even close. So how do you fix such a problem?
  
  Many are trying to market their way out with a sub par solution being heralded as better. A handful of tequila sources buy completely new barrels. Using new barrels is not the norm, nor is it the most desirable regardless of anyone's marketing and advertising, yet as a consequence of difficulty of procuring previously used barrels for high quality aging processes, they are turning up on a regular basis. Just about all producers spend money on Whiskey barrels for aging anejo tequila given that brand new barrels will convey far more real wood taste in to the spirit and can affect the taste a good deal more.
  
  Brand new barrels are also considerably more highly-priced than previously used barrels ($300-$400 each). Darker does not necessarily imply better. Anejo tequila, might easily end up very dark and now have far too much wood flavoring. This could be prevented through the use of older barrels which are not as prone to infuse the tequila as much, and that is one of the primary explanations that previously used barrels are in much larger demand.
  
  The most popular buzz words in advertising material is to boast that your tequila is aged in white French oak, however is white French Oak the very best. Barrel choices based upon the hunt for flavor. American oak whiskey barrels frequently produce a sweeter anejo tequila as opposed to tequilas aged in white French oak.
  
  What's best? It all depends upon your taste. Timing may well play a significant component in flavoring profile. Some of the greatest Tequila Maestros have erroneously shorter aged anejo tequila in a certain barrel for a longer time aging in yet another. You hear quite a lot of "More art than Science", though know this really every bit a science. You are applying flavour hypothesis thereafter attempting to verify them out. The Voodoo TikiTequila web-site supplies tequila aficionados an unusual behind the curtain look into the tequila passion.
