Frequently Asked Questions

What is additive-free tequila and why does it matter?

Additive-free tequila is made without the sweeteners, colorings, or flavor chemicals that are legally permitted (but rarely disclosed) in most commercial tequila. The Mexican government allows producers to add up to 1% of the bottle's weight in additives — including caramel color, glycerin, and oak extract — without listing them on the label. Additive-free tequilas skip all of that. The result is a purer expression of the agave itself, with more terroir, more nuance, and no sugar-driven hangover. If you've ever had a smooth margarita that gave you a headache, additives were likely the culprit.

Is 100% agave tequila the same as additive-free?

Not exactly — and this is one of the most common misconceptions. 100% agave means the fermentable sugars come entirely from blue agave (no cane sugar mixed in). That's a meaningful standard, but it still allows additives within that 1% threshold. Additive-free goes one step further: no additives of any kind, period. All the bottles in this collection are both 100% agave and additive-free.

What are the main types of additive-free tequila?

Blanco — unaged or rested up to 60 days. The clearest expression of the agave plant. Bright, peppery, herbaceous. Best for tasting the distillery's style directly.

Reposado — aged 2 to 12 months in oak. Develops vanilla and caramel notes while keeping the agave character intact. Great for sipping and cocktails.

Añejo — aged 1 to 3 years. Rounder, more complex. Think of it as the tequila equivalent of a single malt whisky.

Extra Añejo — aged 3+ years. Ultra-premium sipping, best enjoyed neat. Often limited production.

How do I know if a tequila is truly additive-free?

The label won't tell you — producers aren't required to disclose additives. The most reliable resource is the Agave Matchmaker database, which tracks additive disclosures reported by producers and verified tasters across thousands of agave spirits. Every tequila we carry at Sipsy has been checked against that database or confirmed directly with the distillery. When we list a bottle as additive-free, we mean it.
