Buen Amigo Gold tequila is made in Jalisco, the place with the longest tradition in the production of this drink. Since 1996 it has been taking the emblematic taste of this historic region to different parts of the world, with this version offering a slightly different flavour.
Jalisco is one of the 31 states of Mexico. It is located in the west of the country with a coastline on the Pacific Ocean. The town of (Santiago de) Tequila is situated in the state, about 55 kilometers (35 miles) to the northwest of Guadalajara, the state capital.
The Tequila drink is a variety of mezcal, made entirely or mostly from blue agave. This plant is native to the Tequila area, marking out this particular mezcal. The first large scale distillery was established as early as 1600.
Buen Amigo Gold tequila offers a distintive taste from the more classic Silver tequila. With sweet flavours, such as cinnamon or vanilla, this version is definitely worth tasting once. Or more. Keeping the essence of tequila, this option is excellent if you want to experience all the nuances that this drink can have and its versatility.
Handcrafted from local tequilana agave, the production of this model gives it a distinctive colour and flavour, the former tending towards gold and the latter tending towards sweetness with a woody aftertaste.
Buen Amigo Gold is characterised by its prolonged stay in American White Oak barrels for at least 18 months, which gives it its distinctive flavour and colour.
- The sweet touch of this version makes it perfect to be enjoyed on its own, after a pleasant meal.
- This sweet aftertaste also gives it an interesting touch for cocktails, adding a different touch to cocktails that differentiates it from the Silver version.
