Best Anejo Tequila for Sipping

August 28, 2026April 28, 2026 by Lydia Martin

Anejo is a CRT age class: 1-3 years in oak no larger than 600 L. Extra anejo is 3+ years. Most US bottles are 40% ABV — one drink per 1.5 oz. Sipping is preference, not a 2022 ranking. Look for 100% agave and the NOM.

What Is the Healthiest Tequila?

August 28, 2026April 22, 2026 by Lydia Martin

There is no official healthiest tequila. Ethanol is the calorie. A 1.5-ounce 40% pour is one NIAAA drink, about 98 calories from alcohol. 100% agave vs mixto is a sugar rule, not a health class.

Does Tequila Go Bad?

Tequila shots with lime, does tequila go bad

Unopened tequila does not spoil like margarita mix. Opened bottles oxidize. Most US bottles are 40% ABV. Mixers follow a different clock.
