Name the tequila category aged 2-12 months.

• A. Reposado
• B. Blanco
• C. Extra Añejo
• D. Añejo

Answer: (A)

Reposado represents tequila aged in oak for about 2 to 12 months. This aging period softens the agave’s sharp edges and introduces subtle wood flavors like vanilla and caramel, while keeping enough agave character to stay balanced. The result is a warm, amber spirit with a smoother profile than Blanco but not as deeply oak-forward as longer-aged tequilas, which is why it fits the 2–12 month range. Blanco is typically unaged or aged only briefly, preserving bright agave flavors. Añejo is aged longer, about 1–3 years, bringing more pronounced wood notes. Extra Añejo is aged 3 years or more, giving an even richer, smoother character.
