How Many Additives are in Tequila?

Winning multiple awards in 2019 alone, Volans ultra premium tequila has been recognized as a first-class spirit for sipping and savoring. We are proud to produce an Extra Añejo that carefully balances the flavors of agave, vanilla, oak, orange peel and butterscotch. You might assume that we use additives to produce tequila with such a full-bodied taste, but we’re happy to confirm that our Volans tequila is 100% additive-free.

Additives Used by Other Tequila Brands

Whilst other brands rely on additives to produce tequila, with Volans ultra premiumtequila you taste nothing but the pure flavors of tequila.

Additives used by some other companies include flavorings, colorings, aromas and chemicals. Whilst some companies might market these flavorings as ‘essences’, they are still an additive and do not naturally occur as part of the tequila making process. Some companies use colorings or caramel flavorings to make tequila darker so that it appears ‘aged’. Dark colored tequila that has only been allowed to age for three to six months is likely to be using an artificial coloring additive. It may be wise to seek out a paler tequila that has been aged for longer, as this is more likely to be additive-free. Other companies may add flavors such as vanilla to try to replicate the natural hint that tequila can develop when it ages naturally in oak barrels. Sadly, an additive will never match the natural flavor that infuses during years of traditional aging.

Additive-Free Volans Tequila

As a family run business, we are committed to bringing the best tasting sipping tequila to spirit lovers who are looking for only the most refined tasting tequila. Whilst other companies might rely on additives, here at Volans we have perfected our craft to bring the finest taste using pure, natural methods.

We use only the sweetest and most mature Blue Weber Agave, and blend it with the perfect combination of rainwater, spring water and deep well water from more than 450 feet below ground. The Blue Weber Agaves are cooked in a traditional stone oven, and we still use traditional copper pots for distillation. For the finest in aged tequila, our Extra Añejo tequila is aged for three and a half years in used American oak bourbon casks. The flavors of American oak give Volans tequila its beautiful notes of dried fruit, caramel, vanilla and maple. Our process is never rushed, and the beauty of its taste comes from the finest Agave, our belief in traditional methods, and our patience in bringing you the finest in ultra-premium tequila.

Tequila is not to be rushed at any point; not when sipping, and certainly not during production. Tequila that uses additives can taste synthetic and won’t leave you wanting to savor it. With Volans Tequila, you can enjoy tequila with a taste so pure it can only have been naturally infused over the years. Volans Tequila is an additive-free spirit to sit back, relax and enjoy.
