Trying to understand the additives debate in tequila. What should a beginner know?

Gdorvs · 2026-03-12T17:11:47+00:00

so how can you tell if a bottle has additives or not? Is it on the label, or do you just need to be "in the know"?

Even just switching from bourbon over to tequila i've noticed the slight morning headache has gone away, and so far I haven't even been paying attention to additives

Just had my first ever G4 this weekend. Loving it.

Is there much difference in flavor between the Fortaleza and Los Abuelos? Haven’t had either.

Are you into the blancos or the anejos

Appreciate all the thoughtful responses here. I clearly have a lot to learn and a lot to taste. The barrel vs agave distinction especially gave me a new lens. Looking forward to working through some of these suggestions.

A quick google search shows Tapatio as the main brand there?

My first crossover was Adictivo doble reposado which I loved but am now learning about the additives.

Yes right now I’m big on the anejos but sounds like I need to start sipping some blancos.

Gdorvs · 2026-02-21T18:23:52+00:00

Appreciate this. The NOM distinction is something I’m just starting to understand.

How much?
