Tequila Thread!!!

Currently enjoying the silver Tequilas, I enjoy thier pure Agave flavor.

Currently in my bar, if thats what you want to call it.

Milagro Silver
Milagro Repasado
Cabbo Silver
1921 Silver

finished a bottle of Patron silver recently, it didnt last long,

I like to start out with Tequlia and OJ, and with each drink adding less OJ, until I'm sipping it straight. Thats a good night!

I can't do tequila.. i never remember anything the next morning

Regular tequila fave is Don Julio Anejo.

If you want to try something different for sipping with a cigar, the Patron XO Cafe is pretty interesting. I have turned several BOTLs onto it and most of them seem to like it with a cigar as well. Sweet taste, not a typical tequila flavor.

I love Tres Generation Anejo! Keep it cold and drinks as smooth as any tequila I have ever had and I have had more than my fair share.

Just added to the must try list...

I am not a huge Tequila fan, but have amassed around 15+ bottles of high end stuff. My parents live in Mexico 4+ months a year and they bring me back stuff. I have family in Austin and I just love to shop at Spec's...

Some recent purchase of less known Tequilas worth picking up:

El Noble

Espolon

Fina Estampa

30-30 Anejo is delicious. I also have a tasty bottle of Revolution resposado a buddy of mine brought back from Mexico that I have never seen in the US.

Now I'm intrigued by Mezcal and Sotol. What are some good brands and what's the average cost?

Same prices as the top Tequilas. I do not have a brand to recommend just yet.

My wife really, really likes the Patron XO Coffee -- very nice flavor. If you like Kaluha, then you will love this, much better flavor, and more alcohol!

I prefer Don Julion Anejo, Herradura Anejo, or for special occaisions Don Julio 1942 Anejo. For extra special occaisons I like Patron Gran Burdeos.

Actually, I am not picky -- as long as it is 100% de Agave -- I will drink Blanco, Reposado, or Anejo. I have enjoyed Patron, Coralejo, and Cazadores -- all good Tequilas.

I also agree with a previous poster -- the best way is to use a brandy snifter. No salt. No lime. No ice.

I haven't seen one that is not. Now, Mezcal is a whole new ballgame and is nasty, even the "super premium" stuff my brother-out-law brought back from Mexico. He seemed to like it THERE, but I guess when you drink enough while in Mexico, anything tastes good after a certain point

There are 3 new tequilas to be made here in Bay Area, can't wait to see what locals can do with the agave plant, 2 of them are some of the best distilleries in the world and so far everything they produced is at the top of the heap.

Do they grow the agave there? I drove past an agave field in the Yucatan. Soon, the Yucatan will officially be able manufacture Tequila. Such a beautiful sight; a field of amazing agaves!

Ah, very nice thread! I love tequila and really appreciate getting some hints on what to look for when I go to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico in April next year.

I usually prefer reposados, añejos are often too sweet and smooth to me. One of my favourites is Don Julio but Patron is also nice.

[SmokinApe]

Had some of this tonight... pretty good... paired well with a PLPC over ice...

[forgop]

My favorites are the Paton and Don Julio Anejo. I was gifted a bottle of Trago Resposado that has a lot of spice and is much drier than the anejo.

I just tried Patron silver last weekend and found it to be a lot harsher in comparison to the anejos.

Would like to hear some recommendations on some nice anejos that are less than Patron/Don Julio if you have any.

Forgop,

Try DOn Eduardo or Quervo 1800...

How much do those set you back? The Patron/Don Julio are around $50/bottle here.

Ah Jalisco! Tequila capital of the world. I've made 9 trips to Puerto Vallarta and looking forward to number 10. You have to go to Andales in the romantic zone when you get there.

I picked a bottle of this up last night for 20$ (El Mayor Blanco)... That is a pretty good deal for 100% De Agave, maybe it was marked wrong...



I will post my thoughts about it after I have some tonight...

Not a head turner at all, though the 100 Anos Blanco isn't bad at all on the cheap. I usually prefer my drinks on the rocks. After I'm done with this I'll be anticipating a better purchase off the higher shelf.
