I took the mrs out for dinner and found a Mexican place that listed a tequila bar, so I had to check it out for myself. They had a great selection actually. I tried tha Partida anejo and it was quite nice. I'll be adding that one to my collection soon.

Tres Generaciones Anejo - May be the BEST there is.

Other Fav's of mine are Avion Anejo, El Jimador Reposado and Espolon Reposado.

For $20 a bottle, the Espolon Rep may be the best bang for the buck.

That's cheap! Is it normally that price? Would be a no-brainer if so. Costco has two good Kirkland Tequilas that worth picking up for mixed drinks.

Moses... That's the regular price. I promise you this stuff kicks, and is better than a lot twice it's price. The bottle has skeletons on it. Give it a shot.

I bought a bottle about 4 years ago. Had no idea how much I paid, but enjoyed the bottle a lot. I only buy or get good stuff so assumed it cost more.

San Matias Orgullo anejo

Picked up a bottle of El Jimador anejo locally for $20 earlier in the week.

Yeah, I've tried the anejo before and it's okay for the price. Went there for a cheap case of beer today and had to get this at 19 bucks for a 1.75 just to try. Very good for the price, I can sip it and it would be great as a mixer.

They have pretty much everything in the Kirkland brand.

Kirkland is my standard mixer. Good enough by itself, but a no brainer when making drinks.

You should join, you'll get the money back in savings in no time and their return policy is the best. Money ($50 a year I think) well spent.

I don't think you need to be a member to partake of the liquor store.

While technically not tequila, I though it pointless to start a thread dedicated to mezcal.

Bought a bottle of Fidencio Clįsico mezcal. A tad under 90 proof. Very smoky, viscous and smooth.
