Need Father’s Day Gift Ideas in the Philippines? Tequila!
Sipped, shot or in cocktails, Tequila is one of the most popular spirits in the world! This Father’s Day, you can give the gift of tequila by ordering from an extensive curated tequila list from Carlo Pacific. Here’s some information to learn more about how to enjoy this cultural libation, especially this season for Dads.
History:
Named after the small town in Jalisco, Mexico, tequila is harvested from the agave plant found in Mexico and then distilled into a spirit and stored in oak barrels. There are five varieties of tequila, depending on the length of aging. To be considered tequila, ingredients must contain at least 51% percent of agave. The higher the percentage of agave, the better!
Here’s the different kinds of tequila and how best to enjoy them if you are looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift.
Blanco Tequila: Also referred to as White or Silver, the tequila is unaged and pairs well in cocktails like Margaritas. Use this for cocktail mixes.
Joven Tequila: This tequila is blended with a small amount of aged tequila and may be referred as “gold” or “mixtos”, with tones of caramel due to flavoring.
Reposado Tequila: This tequila spends a minimum of two months to a year in whiskey barrels, which gives it a “woody” taste and makes for an excellent sipping tequila.
Anejo Tequila: This tequila needs to spend one to three years aging in barrels no larger than 600 liters. The complexity of anejo has similarities with the mouth feel of whiskey. This tequila is excellent served on the rocks.
Extra Anejo: This is the top of the line tequila and has to be barrel aged for a minimum of three years with a deep reddish brown color that connotes a premium spirit. Definitely a special gift for the fathers in your lives.
Cristalino: This tequila has just started gaining momentum and has the mouthfeel of an older aged tequila but pours clear, hence ”cristal” like and is filtered multiple times through charcoal.
