¿Qué es Gold Tequila?
An alcoholic spirit made primarily from blue agave, often aged briefly or colored with caramel for a smoother taste, distinct from unaged silver tequila.
"Many "Gold" tequilas are actually "Mixto" tequilas, meaning they contain at least 51% agave sugars but also other sugars, unlike 100% agave tequilas."
