How long does a 100% agave blanco tequila need to be aged?

A 100% agave blanco tequila is typically not aged and is instead bottled immediately after distillation or after a very short resting period, often for no more than a few weeks. The designation of "blanco," which means "white," indicates that the tequila retains the pure, vibrant flavors of the agave without the influence of oak barrel aging.

This lack of aging allows consumers to experience the fresh and lively characteristics of agave, showcasing its natural sweetness and floral notes. Aging in barrels imparts additional flavors and alters the spirit's profile, which is why blanco tequilas are known for their clarity and straightforward agave flavor.

In contrast, the other options involve aging, which would not apply to a blanco tequila, as it is specifically designed to be unaged.
