What's the difference between Standard MAM Gold and Archive Gold?

They are both produced on the same production lines, but the Archive gold is the "cream of the crop".

At these times we pull the gold product, sampling it at a high frequency to ensure it's consistent high quality. This is what becomes Archive gold.
