TEQUILA BARRELS

At OAKBARRELS.SHOP, we offer freshly emptied tequila barrels directly sourced from renowned distilleries in Mexico. These barrels are typically made from American white oak and were originally used to mature premium bourbon whiskey. They are now ideal for aging and finishing a wide range of products including whisky, gin, rum, craft beer, liqueurs, and fruit brandies.

Tequila is a distinct type of mezcal, legally produced only from blue Weber agave (Agave tequilana). Mezcal, in contrast, can be made from various agave species, often resulting in a more diverse and smoky flavor profile.

The barrels used for tequila aging vary depending on the classification of the tequila:

SILVER/BLANCO/PLATA
Unaged or very briefly rested – delivers clean, bright agave notes.

GOLD/JOVEN/ORO
Usually a blend of Blanco and aged tequila – with smooth, mellow aromas.

AGED/REPOSADO
Aged for a minimum of 2 months – imparts vanilla, toasted oak, and soft spice notes.

EXTRA-AGED/AÑEJO
Aged at least 1 year – offers deeper, richer flavors like caramel, oak, and baking spices.

ULTRA-AGED/EXTRA-AÑEJO
Aged 3 years or longer – delivers complex, smooth, wood-forward profiles with exceptional depth.

Each barrel we offer carries the essence of these maturation stages – with aromatic traces of agave, vanilla, honey, cinnamon, roasted oak, and herbs. All barrels are thoroughly inspected and ready for immediate reuse in innovative barrel aging projects.
