Joven tequila sits between blanco and reposado: either a blend of unaged blanco with aged tequila, or a blanco that has rested in oak for only a few weeks. The result keeps the raw cooked-agave character of a blanco while picking up a little roundness, vanilla, and color from the barrel. The category covers a wide range, from the gold mixtos most people first drank to some of the most collectible 100% agave bottles made today, like Clase Azul Gold and Pink, Casa Dragones Joven, Don Julio Alma Miel, and the once-a-year Siembra Valles Aniversario. At Chips Liquor the joven shelf is built around the 100% blue Weber agave expressions from producers who treat the blend as its own craft, including additive-free bottlings from Cazcanes, El Pintor, Lobos 1707, Dos Artes, and Humano. Sip them neat to taste the blend, or pour one into a Margarita or Paloma where the touch of oak adds depth without losing the agave.
