Question 1

What type of tequila is best for an old fashioned?

Accepted Answer

Anejo is the best tequila for an old fashioned. It is the longest aged of the main three (blanco, reposado, and anejo) which gives it the boldest flavor and makes it the most similar to bourbon. Old fashioneds really let the spirit shine, so you want to choose a tequila that will stand out and that you enjoy.

Question 2

What makes a tequila old fashioned unique?

Accepted Answer

Anejo tequila keeps the same barrel aged flavors that you get with bourbon, but it adds in an earthy, agave flavor that really brightens up the cocktail. And if you substitute agave nectar for sugar, the tequila flavor profile shines even better.
