Gerardo’s Tequila Guide

Bottles recorded first-hand. NOM numbers checked against distillery records, not copied from other lists. And where verification does not exist, we say so.

Start here

Three pages that do something the rest of the tequila internet mostly doesn’t.

The five types of tequila

Blanco, joven, reposado, añejo and extra añejo — what legally separates them, and what the category name still won’t tell you.

The NOM directory

Every bottle names the distillery that made it in four digits. Who makes what — including the distilleries turning out both a mixto and a 100% agave bottle under one number.

Additive-free tequila in 2026

The verified list came down in October 2024 and nothing replaced it. What the rules permit, what happened, and four things you can still check yourself.

Also worth your time: blanco, the category with nowhere to hide · añejo, where oak and additives get confused · silver vs gold, where the colour usually comes from a bottle rather than a barrel · how to read a label.
