RESUMEN
This article contains data obtained by following the evolution of minor volatile compounds throughout 32 weeks of 100% Agave Silver tequila maturation in new French oak barrels under real cellar conditions. Barrels were made with the same cooperage methods in four French regions. Tequila samples were obtained every 2 weeks; volatile compounds were extracted and analyzed by GC-MS. Volatile compounds were identified and relatively quantified in % of Area. Obtained data are presented in three datasets: Identified compounds, quantification according to barrel origin, and quantification according to maturation time. General Discriminant Analysis of the quantification data sets are also shown. Interpretation of the data and discussion can be found in "Evolution of volatile compounds during the maturation process of Silver tequila in new French oak barrels" Martín-del-Campo, López-Ramírez and Estarrón-Espinosa [1].
