I think i read decades ago that “gold” tquilas were that way from food coloring, not really a different type.

Any good info on gold?
Used to love Cuervo Gold, but it started tasting funny a while back.

Blanco tequilas are young, with little cask aging (no more than two months, IIRC). Resposado tequilas have a bit of color, having been aged longer in oak casks (for at least two months, up to one year). AƱejo tequila is cask-aged for at least one year, up to three years. Some mezcals (of which tequila is a sub-group) can be aged longer.

Gold tequilas are usually a blend of the new-made Blanco with one of the cask-aged expressions.

Since this article was about blanco, it implies that is the version favored by those that drink it straight and go for the taste?
