My little sister introduced me to Herradura a while back. Now I've introduced you to Herradura and you can thank me later.
I've got a bottle of their anejo which is very, very good for sipping neat. For a very good utility tequila, costco anejo punches well above its weight. |

These are probably the best 2 that I've had. Price wise so far I've found El Tesoro to be the best bang for the buck though.
Apologize for the other junk in the pic. It was repurposed here lol. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok. What's not "sugar syrup." I'll try it. Not joking. There a ton of good additive free tequilas. A good list Unfortunately clase azul and many others have leaned into using sweeteners that are about 10,000 x sweeter than sugar. they also add glycerine to make the texture feel richer, vanilla flavoring, and coloring to craft the tequila into something more palatable by the club crowd. Those additives really take away from the agave flavor and just deliver a product that may even taste good but just doesn't taste like actual tequila. |

In Germany, on my second tour...after work I decided to go to a movie. Theater was in the back of the Kaserne, behind the motor pool, it was snowing pretty good, and getting cold. So I decided to have a drink to prepare myself for the walk. I had a bottle of Jose Cuervo in my room, but it was at room temperature, and I didn't have any ice or anything to mix with it. So I downed a shot-God, it was like drinking lighter fluid! So I had a few more, then it was time to start walking. I got to the theater, paid my money, then walked in and sat down...they were playing coming attractions. The next thing I know is they're playing the credits part of the movie. I slept thru the whole thing, Star Spangled Banner, movie, the whole bit. Never even saw anything. Walked back to the barracks and had a few more shots (tasted much better) and went to bed.

Id like to try something pure that isnt flavored...just a true agave spirit. |

Along with my favorites of Siete Leguas and Fortaleza reposados and the very good Sol de Mexico and Tesoro there is this. It's the Cuervo family's way of letting us know they can make great tequilawhen they want to

Also, like I said, keep an eye out for these two. Very solid for the price

My wife & I have been trying different margarita recipes every weekend. And last weekend we hit on the best, which is also a 1st place winner. It uses no Cointreau. See attached article. We did change the tequila, because Pueblo Viejo is not available.
1 ounce Tequila Ocho Plata 1 ounce Siete Leguas Blanco 1/4 ounce Key lime juice 1/4 ounce lime juice 1/2 ounce light agave nectar (Monin brand) Shake with ice and dump into a rocks glass. Its delicious, clean and refreshing. And a tip of the hat to WOAFP, who pointed us in the right direction for our tequila journey! Ultimate margarita contest Winning recipe |

And to piggy back on this, tesoro, tequila ocho, and fortaleza are all pretty widely distributed. All additive free, roasted in traditional brick ovens, stone crushed, and distilled in pot stills. Getting well made tequila is actually surprisingly easy in the US. |

I bought a bottle of Lunazul Cristalino Anjo not to long ago. I had tried their regular anejo & it was good on the palate when sipped neat but after it was swallowed it had an unpleasant charcoal aftertaste. It was great in a margarita though. I got the Cristalino hoping that the filtering would remove that unpleasant aftertaste. Unfortunately the filtering removed everything that makes it a tequila. Sipping it neat the only real flavor that I could notice was it's sugary sweetness. It just doesn't taste like tequila. It got totally lost in a margarita. Give this one a pass.

Cristalinos are a crime against agave as far as i'm concerned. Super sweet vodka made out of a plant that can takes a decade or more to grow. |

Picking up a bottle of something nice for a buddy’s birthday. His goto is 1942. I was eyeballing Gran Centenario, or maybe a 1.75 of 1942 just because the bottle is ridiculous, scaled up version of the normal.
