Was it John Paul Mitchell that started this? He's a Greek/ Italian guy name John Paul De Joria, who made so much money on his beauty products, he
could afford to buy a tequila manufacturer. So, he owns Patron.

I went to Tequila, Jalisco once, sampled, looked around. I was surprised to learn that all tequilas are naturally white. Colors are added, a marketing
gimmick I think. But I could be wrong, the "sampling" distorts my memory a bit. The blue agave fields along the highway from Guadalajara are pretty to
see.

I believe it is the oak barrels that give it its color by aging...
Tequila Mixto( 51% Agave) like Cuervo Gold is colored with cane sugar alcohol.

I went to Sauaza's factory in Tequilla and watched the whole process from roasting the roots and pressing them through fermenting/ aging and
botteling. What amazed me was that Sauaza takes two pressings from the roots; the first to be used for their Anejo, and the second for their Reposado.
After that they sell what's left of the root to Cuervo who then takes one or more pressings.

Sometimes called tequila joven. Tequila Gold is a Blanco that has not been allowed to mature so it has not developed the distinct coloring that comes
with ageing. So, to get the golden color, just prior to bottling colorings and flavorings are added in the form of caramel, oak tree extracts,
glycerin, or sugar syrup.

That is correct to a point. All tequila is claro to begin with. The dark color comes from the oak barrels in which they are aged. The longer the
aging, the darker the tequila.
I never heard of cane sugar being added to Cuervo. Do you have a source?

I said cane sugar alcohol is added to the mixed varieties like Cuervo Gold to bring up the alcohol content...
Pure 100% Weber Blue Agave is just that,
Mixto = 51% Weber Blue Agave + 49% sugar cane alcohol.
By the way Robert, the root is not used to make Tequila, when a plant is stripped of it leaves by the Jimador what is left is what is called the Piņa
because it looks like a giant pineapple or in Spanish piņa.That is the part that is roasted...

Tonight for a digestif we enjoyed some Reserva De La Famila. It's real smooth sipping makes it a perennial favorite at our Casa and the only Cuervo
product allowed around here. 
Saturday night we broke seal on a bottle of 1942 due to my bro in law killing the last of the other bottle Friday. When I first met him he couldn't
give two winks about tequila, now he's a fiend. Like me. 
Luckily he has yet to acquire a taste for mescal. Hoping to keep,it that way.
