Reposados and Anejos must be aged in the same sized barrels.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Reposados and Anejos do not have to be aged in the same sized barrels. Reposados are aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two months but less than a year, while Anejos are aged in oak barrels for a minimum of one year. The size of the barrels used for aging can vary depending on the producer's preference and the desired flavor profile. Therefore, it is not necessary for Reposados and Anejos to be aged in the same sized barrels.

What is the minimum age requirment for a tequila to be considered "extra anejo"?
- 2 years
- 3 years
- 4 years
- 5 years
Correct Answer

A. 3 years

Explanation

The minimum age requirement for a tequila to be considered "extra anejo" is 3 years. This means that the tequila must be aged in oak barrels for at least 3 years before it can be classified as an extra anejo tequila. This extended aging process gives the tequila a smoother and more complex flavor profile, making it a premium and highly sought-after category of tequila.

The agave is related to a cactus.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is false because the agave is not related to a cactus. While both plants are succulents and share some similarities in appearance, they belong to different plant families. Agave belongs to the Asparagaceae family, while cacti belong to the Cactaceae family. Therefore, they are not closely related.

If a bottle claiming to be tequila does not also say 100% (blue) agave, it is still a tequila.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

If a bottle claiming to be tequila does not also say 100% (blue) agave, it is not considered a tequila. The statement implies that a bottle labeled as tequila without the mention of 100% (blue) agave is still considered tequila, but this is incorrect. According to tequila regulations, for a spirit to be classified as tequila, it must be made from at least 51% blue agave. Therefore, if a bottle does not specify 100% (blue) agave, it means that it contains a lower percentage of blue agave and does not meet the requirements to be considered tequila.

The term "extra anejo" was created in what year?
- 1996
- 2001
- 2006
- 2010
Correct Answer

A. 2006
9.

Which of the following is NOT a recognized category of tequila?
- Blanco
- Reposado
- Añejo
- Dorado
Correct Answer

A. Dorado

Explanation

Tequila is categorized based on its age and production process. Blanco is unaged, Reposado is rested for a short period, and Añejo is aged longer. Dorado, while a term used in the tequila world, usually refers to a mixed tequila (often a young tequila with coloring and flavoring added) rather than a distinct aging category. So, while you might see a bottle labeled "Dorado," it's not an official classification like the others.
