A reposado tequila is one that has been aged in a white oak cask for at least two months and less than one year. Reposado is a Spanish word meaning "restful". By contrast, a "silver" or "white" tequila hasn't been aged at all, and an "añejo" tequila has been aged for at least a year.

How bout tequila whether its strong or not?
Tequila is usually 38% to 40% alcohol so they're all about the same strength. If you mean strong as in harsh, the general rule is silver is stronger than reposado is stronger than anejo and 51/49s (Like Jose Cuervo and Sauza) are stronger than 100% agave tequilas.

What color is tequila?
When tequila is "Born" it is clear. 100% Blue Agave Tequila is the starting point, or "the Birth Moment" for all tequilas. This is a clear liquid. The result is usually a fresh, clean sometimes herbal sometimes sweet tequila. If you take that Silver Tequila and you age it in a brandy barrel for up to a year it will take on some of the color of the wood. This will result in a "Reposado" tequila. Leaving it in the barrel for over a year will give you a darker color, resulting in an "Anejo" Some manufacturers use artificial coloring techniques (Gold Tequila) in order to fool the international market into thinking they are buying a quality product.
How do you make tequila?
Tequila is made from the Blue Agave, a member of the lily family often mistaken for a cactus.The plant requires 8-12 years before reaching maturity. The agave is then harvested for the "Pina", basically the base / core, which when the stalks are cut away looks like the base of a pineapple.The Pina is cooked and juiced. The juices are then fermented and distilled twice.You now have 100% Blue Agave Silver / Platinum or Plata tequila (All mean the same thing.)Now from here, you can age it which some people like better (Although purists love Silver Tequila), or you can turn it into a Mixto which basically cheapens it.If you age your tequila for 6-9 months in whiskey or brandy barrels you will create a Reposado Tequila (Reposado means "Rested.") This will give it some of the hue of the wood.If you age your tequila for a year in whiskey or brandy barrels you will create a Anejo Tequila (Anejo means "Aged.") This will give it darker hues of the wood. Some of the more expensive boutique tequilas are aging in white oak, which gives less color to the tequila, but retains the benefits of the aging.Now for Mixto Tequilas, only 51% Pure Agave is required, so companies take the 100% Blue Agave Tequila, and cut it with mezcals and other elements to make "White Tequila", worst of all is Gold tequila, which is 51% Agave White Tequila which then is colored with caramel color to give the illusion of aging and value.If the tequila doesn't say 100% Agave on the bottle, it isn't.

What alcoholic drink is distilled from the agave plant?
There are a few but the most common is mezcal. It is a spirit distilled from the beer, or mash, made from the hearts of agaves. There are 3 basic types of mezcal; reposado, anejo, and white(or dorado[golden]). White and dorado mezcals are not aged but distilled and bottled, the golden is just colored white mezcal. Reposado is aged in clay pots or barrels for 2 to 9 months to gain color and flavor. Anejo is aged at least 18 months often in wooden barrels and is more like a whiskey. Mezcal can be made from any of a few different maguey agaves, [there are about 120 species] with other possible ingredients comprising up to 40% of the product. Tequila mezcal is made strictly within guidelines set by the government and within the boundaries of the state of Jalisco and selected parts of bordering states, only blue agave is used in making tequila. No worm is added to tequila, only mezcal might have the worm added. Pulque is another beverage made from maguey, it is not used in the production of mezcal, it is recognized as a separate beverage. Tequila is a mezcal - mezcal is not tequila.
Who brews tequila?
Tequila is not brewed, it is distilled. Distillation of Tequila takes places at many distilleries which produce a vast number of different tequila brands. By law however, to be considered and called Tequila, it must be produced within Mexico, primarily the region of Jalisco. Tequila is produced from a member of the lilly family called the Blue Agave. The heart (or Pina) of the Agave is harvested, cooked and crushed to remove its juices. These are then fermented and distilled to produce Tequila. Mixto tequilas are then diluted with cane spirits to increase volume and reduce price while 100% Agave tequilas are bottled without additives. Blanco/White/Silver tequila is bottled un-aged while Reposado and Anejo Tequilas are aged in oak casks for a minimum of 6 and 12 months respectively.
How can you make tequila?
Tequila is made from the Agave plant. Despite popular belief the Agave is not a cactus. It is a member of the Lilly family. There are 136 varieties of agave. Only the blue agave can be used to make the premium 100% agave tequila. After 8 to 12 years of growth, the agave is harvested and cut down to what is known as "The Pina", which is basically the heart / core of the plant. This core is cooked down to remove all the juice. The juices are then fermented, and distilled twice. You now have 100% Agave Silver Tequila. If you age that in a brandy barrel for 6-9 months you will have a Reposado tequila, which means "Rested." Aging the silver tequila for a year will yield an Anejo Tequila, which means "Aged."
