Reposado (which means “rested”) sits in a barrel for 2–11 months. This is the predominant style of tequila consumed in Mexico. It has all the flavors of blue agave, minor barrel notes, and the finish is easier on the palate than a blanco.
Mezcal is like wine is a whole other journey. If you want to take a deep dive, you’ll find out real quick that it’s about more than smoke. Saying a mezcal tastes smoky is like saying a bourbon tastes like vanilla.
Jovens are any blanco Tequila that has an aged expression(reposado, añejo, or extra añejo) blended into it, and can result in lovely expressions.
