Patron Silver is ALWAYS around me

Special occasions call for Gran Patron Platinum.

Question for everyone, Has anyone tried the New Gran Patron? It's an Anejo from what I have read.

Another vote for the Patron Silver. I am not a huge Tequila drinker, but I really like the silver.

If you guys like Patron Silver, you owe it to yourself to try Casa Noble Crystal, El Tesoro Silver and Los Abuelos Blanco (my favorite). These are my favorite blancos...

For reposados, my favorites are El Tesoro, Clase Azul and Hacienda del la Flor (old tall bottle).

For anejos, my favorites are Don Julio, El Tesoro and Penca Azul.

For extra anejos, my favorites are Don Fulano Imperial (#1 tequila), Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia (pre 2005 bottles only), Don Julio 1942 (vanilla bomb) and Arette Gran Classe (hard to find).

Wow, beat me by a few minutes -- I was going to say the same -- Patron is getting to be ridiculously priced -- Casa Noble is usually $15-20 less and a better tequila.

Tenoch is a nice, reasonably priced tequila and comes in a cool stoneware bottle.

I also have some Cuervo Family Reserve that is excellent.

I like silvers, but prefer anejos, especially el tesoro and patron.

The wife pretty much won't drink anything but Patron Silver, so I rarely drink anything but that lately....not that I'm complaining!

I prefer the silvers, I feel the Agave can get lost in the oak...

I agree about the agave, but the better anejos to me just have that nice balance between agave and the oaky vanilla flavors that come from the aging. It's just like cigars, plenty of room for different tastes.

I know EVERYTHING is getting like this, but when I was in the store looking for Tequila this Saturday, I was saddened. I had 20 bucks, and granted, I was only looking for Margarita Tequila, but even then you can taste the bad stuff. JUST IMAGINE what my twenty bucks bought me. iiiyyuuch!

Brad - Hornitos Reposado is a fine tequila that runs $22-$23 around these parts. I can drink it straight. Damn fine for mixing. Can it match up against the higher end stuff? Of course not. But for the money, I think it is a great value.

At the Mexican Naval Base, I get Don Julio Blanco for $18

I think this stuff is around 500 a bottle. Patron Burdeos - an additional aging step in Bordeaux barrels. If I ever get a new job that has a signing bonus, maybe I will pick up one of these.

I prefer Patron: Anejo > Reposado > Silver

I also recommend Tezon - this stuff is really good. Nice and smooth.
