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.

So it looks as through the wife and I will be headed down to Mexico next March. Would most of you really stick to the standards (ie Patron, Don Julio) or should I be looking for something more local and exotic? We'll be at the new Secrets Maroma resort in Cancun which boast top shelf liquors.

Side note: The new place also boast a cigar bar I'll be excited to check out.



I'm open to all suggestions since I'm an admitted novice when it comes to Tequila.

thx

I've had both the Reposado and the Anejo. I liked them better then some of the bigger names that have been mentioned already and I will continue to buy the Anejo. IMHO this is not a mixing tequila. It's a straight up sipping tequila.

Finally, I got to try this stuff... Made a quick margarita...

1 lime
3/4 oz water
1.5 oz tequila
1 oz agave nectar

Pretty good...

I picked some of this up last Friday night and mixed up some Tequila Sunrises for the wife and I. Pretty tasty actually, and I like the bottle for something different on the shelf.
