That’s a hard question to answer. Disclaimer, I am nowhere near a tequila expert, I only know what I like lol. That being said, trying things and finding what you like is the best way to answer that question.
I’ll attempt to put it in context to cigars. Imagine you just bought a cab of plpcs:
You grab one to smoke the second the box arrives at your door. That’s going to be you blanco tequila.
Now, let that cab sit in it’s cedar box for one year. That will be your resposado tequila (though age time would be more like a month or two and it would be oak aged as opposed to cedar).
Finally, it’s been five years since you started testing that cab. This is where you get your anejo tequila. (1-2 in tequila years aged in oak).
There are more factors than that, but that’s the most relatable format I could put it in here. And all this being said, everyone enjoys things differently. There may be a person who thinks freshly rolled plpcs are way better than 5 year aged (doubtful) because taste is subjective. I personally like more complexity, so I gravitate towards the two latter options.
I hope this helped and didn’t waste too much time of your day
Cheers
