I'm mostly a whisk(e)y drinker, but I'll sip on the Grand Mayan any day of the week. The oak influence is incredible and always gives me a Cognac-like impression. Cheers.
Not important at all. You don't see non Americans trying to pronounce our English words correctly. A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.
Cazadores reposado is a great value, IMHO... far better than Patron repo. $18.95 here in AZ, a steal. For a bigger taste and more flavor, but with a little more burn, 3 Amigos Anejo is very good at around $30. Ever review Manik tequilas? BIG flavors!!
Man I'm impressed you can taste that many tequilas in a row and still give eloquent descriptions of each. I'm a whisky guy who's beginning to delve into the world of tequila. So far I've tried Camarena Repo and Blanco, Jimador Repo, Patron Repo, and Tres Generaciones Blanco and Anejo. Do you have an opinion of Tres Generaciones? I really liked the Anejo, but my experience with tequila is pretty limited so far. Love the vids, thanks.
Partida Reposado, Don Eduardo Anejo, Fortaleza Blanco, Tapatio Blanco and Republic Plata all have big agave notes and are moderately priced and very smooth. Cheers!
Hey, it's a weird question, but do you do anything to take care of your pallet so you can taste everything there is to taste? For example I've heard smoking can greatly affect your pallet, also coffee though not sure about it, junk food,...do you avoid things like that, at least a couple of days before tasting? :)
I just found your channel. Wow, I'm incredibly impressed. So much knowledge and so many bottles, amazing collection. Your pallet seems on point as well.
Awesome! For as longs as have drank tequila I have always enjoyed it. There is something about the agave that is funky and rich in flavor (to me!) . This video makes me think that with some experience I could grow to really appreciate tequila. Thank you!
I just got into Tequilas. Or maybe I should say I'm taking Tequilas more serious. I actually do find those aromas and flavors in them. I never knew they existed but they really do. I'm enjoying some now, thanks for the tips. I can actually enjoy it with out the salt and lime. I think that just gets in the way of the true flavors. I got to say, Patron Silver don't have a bad rap out here in Cali. CHEERS EVERYONE!!!
Great presentation - thanks much! I'm a late arrival here, sorta like the person arriving later than anticipated or even socially accepted, to an important gathering or celebration. Now I'll do my best to catch-up to you some. I'll be binge viewing, at least through your rum and tequila (mezcal?) videos ASAP. You are a great find - thanks again! (Jonny-come-lately)
I appreciate the time you put into your videos and the education you bestow on your viewers. I indulged in a shot of 1800 Coleccion at a tequila lounge called Tres Agaves. I am curious to know what do you think of that particular tequila.
Thank you for this fantastic review I purchased the Partida Reposado and the Maestro Dobel Diamante Tequila based on this review both are great! Casa noble crystal and Herradura crystal are always on my bar thanks for bringing new spirits to my rotation. Subscribed..
That Cuervo Anejo (4th from the left) was an AMAZING sip. I had didn't understand how good it was at the time but it is absolutely the best tequila I have ever found. $7/bottle at the duty free. I should have bought it all. For the record, the Reserva de la Familia that I've had is much darker and way more flavorful.
Sorry for the long delay but I just saw I never replied to you. Some of my favorite Silver Tequilas would be Pure Verde (a top tier silver), Partida (another top tier but it's the same price as Patron and much better in my opinion), Camarena (very inexpensive but higher quality), Republic Plata (very nice as well), and Tapatio (full of flavor). Cheers!
Great video. Hope you'll consider doing a comparison between mezcal and tequilas for someone who is starting to explore these spirits. Thanks for all of your videos as they have been a great complement to my whiskey experience.
+gviola90 - I think the old Maestro Dobel Diamond with the metal base made a great mixer. Unfortunately, those are hard to find, so I'd say Tapatio Reposado or Blanco or the Puro Verde Blanco (or the "Puro One Ten" if you need the abv boost) are all great if they're in your area. Now if you're making a premium top shelf, the Roca Patron's are right up their with Fortaleza's and I think they're more nationally available. See my Roca Patron review video here: ruclips.net/video/PLZMmSCzGRE/видео.html Cheers!
Man, this video is dope. I want a collection like yours. I only have: Clase Azul Reposado, Don Julio 1942, Don Julio Real, Rey Sol extra añejo, Gran Patron Burdeos, and Herradura Legend.
Thanks for the awesome review, my favorite so far has be the Jose Cuervo Reserva. Time to try the other...:) Especially the Grand Mayan, the ceramic bottle will look sweet on my shelf.
Piggy-backing off the tres generaciones... I just bought the reposado (havent cracked it open yet). Do you have a recommendation for a tequila big on fresh agave flavor that is also smooth? (price being a non-issue)
Just recently got into sipping tequila. Coming from vodka and rum and have followed your channel! So far I have bottles of Patron anejo, Tres Agaves anejo, and Deleon blanco. Enjoying all three, but I really like the blanco with the bold sweet nose and flavor. Not to mention a very cool bottle and at $30 about half $ of Patron. What do you think of Deleon (considering its ~ $30 now)? P.S. - I just ordered Fortaleza and G4 as I want to try some higher rated blancos!
That's a tough one. I feel like Partida has a more traditional agave flavor while the Casa Noble adds a rich vanilla to the agave. Either way, you can't go wrong. Cheers!
Try Siete Lenguas (7 Lenguas), Centenario Reposado, and 1921 Reposado! Those are my 3 favorites as of right now! I’ve been to 2 different tequila festivals and the 3 are better than 90% of the tequilas I’ve tried there
Hey Can you recommend a good but inexpensive Canadian Whiskey? and would you consider doing a video on canadian whiskey? what can you recommend within 20 to 30 dollars?
very cool :) I'm a scotch enthusiast. I got my first bottle of Patron Silver tonight. I was torn between Don Julia Blanca and Patron Silver as they are the pretty much the same price. So I just went with Patron. I probably should have bought Don Julio. I have drank a lot of scotch and I can nose it and give you a complex profile and taste it and give you an equally complex profile. I can't give you the same profile in tequila. Patron Silver, the nose I can only describe as almost tropical/citrus....mind you I've been "enjoying" Patron (lol). The taste I cannot identify though. I am an avid scotch fan, but, I have been searching for something else to drink as well. I don't like vodka or gin. Tequila is the answer. It's fantastic.
Well if it was one of the old red foil topped ones I'd say definitely, but since I haven't had any of the newer releases it's hard to say. I do know around me they sell for $130-$150 so $90 for one might not be too bad. I will say that Alain Royer has been involved in many "high profile" barrel maturation projects, so I do have faith in his abilities to take a spirit to a different level. Cheers!
As always, an outstanding job and video. Appreciate them very much. I'll be heading to the store soon to find some of these! At least hopefully, living in the middle of bourbon country doesn't exactly help with hard to find spirits other than bourbon. But hey, I'll give these a nice shot!
Thanks a lot! :D Keep doing what you do, your videos are a great way for me to learn a lot, being an aspiring bartender and hopefuly something along the lines of what you're doing. :)
Good morning, any reviews on hi end rums ? like the Papa Andres, El Dorado 25 years, Don Pancho 30 years and the Diplomatico Ambassador ? thanks Carlos
I believe you misunderstood what I was saying. I wasn’t suggesting that the rum inside the bottle acquired any influences from the cedar box but I can assure you the paper labels, ribbons, wooden top and fabric necklace that hangs the medallion definitely absorbed the aromas of the cedar box (I just double checked). So rather than saying any of one those specifics, I just said “the bottle itself” but I did convey that the spirit inside isn’t affected. Listen again at the 21:00 mark. Cheers!
I'm headed to Cabo in a few weeks. Are there any bottles there that would be cheaper than here? If you had to pick 2 bottles, what would they be? Thanks.
Well that all depends on which style you enjoy (Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, or Extra Añejo). I usually prefer Extra Añejos, so I'd recommend Don Cayo or Cava de Oro. Regardless, I'd recommend you go by "Tequila Town" (in downtown) and ask for "JP" (Juan Paublo). He's an extremely knowledgeable guy, with an amazing collection in his shop. He also lets you taste most of his bottles before you decide to buy. There's also a little gift shop in the Mall by the Marina (I can't remember the name), but it was on the right as you went in (from the street) and they had some really nice prices on a few bottles. Have a great time and cheers!
Wireline .Cables - They don't seem to list the age on their website, but the last time I was speaking to their rep, I was told the standard Añejo was 2 years old. It's the normal CN Añejo that you find in stores for around $60. Cheers!
Good vid man. I drink tequila but want to slow down and start to drink them for their distinct flavors. I'm going tequila tasting in a couple of months looking forward to it.
Carlos H. Bieberach - If it has "100% Agave" on the front, I'd say yes. The later bottles did away with the 100% agave criteria and were not as good in my opinion (but the green añejo's are getting fairly rare now days). Cheers!
+degmar - In the $50-$60 range, I'd say you couldn't go wrong with Anejos made by Tapatio, Casamigos, or Casa Noble. If $3-5 dollar more is in the budget, the Arte Nom Anejo would be in reach and that line is great. Cheers!
I got the Casamigos (both Reposado and Anejo), the Arte Nom Selecion 1146 Anejo, and Tequila Ocho Anejo. The Casamigos was my favorite by far. The other two were a bit strange for my current tastes - one was aged in port barrels and the other in cognac barrels (according to Specs sales person). What are some more selections in the same vein as the Casamigos?
Thanks dude, for years I bought Jose Cuervo, but no longer. I've drank the El Kim...and the Camerena, so I'll stick with them. But, I may splurge and buy Patron or one of the others for company.
Love tequila, and am a big fan of Hornitos Anjo . Very drinkable and affordable , but in the end people drink what they like. Great vidio, keep up the good work.
I really like Don Julio,Cabo Wabo,Don Eduardo. All very smooth and doesn't give a alcohol burn. One brand I found years ago was Don Abraham. I can't find it no more !!! Very smooth and tasted great also priced around $35-40 for Reposada & Anejo. Help me find this tequila.
+degmar - I'm not sure, but there's. better values to be had (like Herencia Mexicana, Tapatio, Corralejo, Casadores & Orgullo). If you can swing a tad more, ArteNOM and Fortaleza are worth buying. Cheers!
+Adrian L - Fortaleza is and has been great for a long time. I will say that due to their older hands-on techniques, I have noticed some batch variation in the bottles. That's not necessarily a bad thing , but some batches are better than others. Cheers!
+Adrian L - FORTALEZA Blanco and Repo are World Class- the Anejo is also amazing- and G4 will be HUGE- SEE/Like-facebook.com/Long-Island-Lou-Tequila-641682619241422/
Carlos H. Bieberach - Thank you Carlos! Ironically, I just had a friend nab me two of those when he was there last week. I'll have to review the 20 & 25 side by side one day soon. Cheers!
That would be Maestro Dobel Diamond tequila. The bottle their using now has changed from the one I have. Now it's all glass (without the metal base or label) and the wording is embossed on the glass. Cheers!
Thanks for the recommendations! Though it will be a while until I get them... I just spent close $700 to get Casa Dragones, Bacardi reserva limitada, Zaya, and Ron Zacapa. Thanks for all your videos, especially the ultra premium tastings... I always wondered what some of them would taste like, but if I had them I don't think I could bring myself to open them!
Unfortunately I did not have the appreciation of tequila at that time like I do now. So I did not savor the flavor as I should have. There was a restaurant/tequila bar in Roseville, CA. called Tres Agave who sold it by the shot. In doing so they engrave your name on a plaque and place it on the "1800 Wall". It was a celebration of a friend's 1st Pro boxing victory - a $700 toast! Since the store closed, they moved our plaques to the location in San Fran. So I will eventually try it again.
I was surprised not to see a bottle of Corralejo Reposado on your table there! I'm guessing you don't favor that one as much. Corralejo is in my taste one of the most highest quality Reposados you can get for under 50 bucks. I find that Corralejo and Cabo Wabo chilled have almost the same exact taste. I also have fairly any experience with Tequilas though. Just my input! I enjoy your videos.
+MrDbcooper456 - If it's the older tall bottles with the metal labels, they're tasty! If it's the newer squatty bottles, they're not as good, but they're serviceable (especially in cocktails). Cheers!
Thank you! I feel it’s a nice dessert style tequila (meaning they add a bit of sweetener to it). So if you like a port, sherry, or madeira as an after dinner drink, this is in that vein. Cheers!
+Jorge Vargas - For unique depth of flavor and historical value, I'd say the Porfidio Barrique is my favorite. The only ones on the list that lag just slightly behind the rest are the Maestro Dobel (especially the new crystal clear ones), Partida and the Grand Mayan tequila. The others are all very solid choices. Just remember the El Tesoro, Casa Noble & Paradiso are all older bottlings. Cheers!
I just asked my friend about a tequila we had at a bar in NYC. Can't figure out what it was. I was blown away that it could be tequila. very very smooth compared to patron silver. Any guesses? it was medium priced. I think it was clear from what i remember.
Waiting for your next upload :) Just got for my self a bottle of Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia. (With the box and everything) Got my friend who was travelling to US bring back one for me. Price a bit steep though, USD160.
Please keep up with the tequila reviews. I can tell you have a true passion with this! Keep it up.
aaron vandereyk - Thank you! I just reviewed the Cazadores line yesterday. I hope you enjoy the video. Cheers!
Camarena is my favorite low priced tequila. it has a warm sweet after taste when you chase it with lime and salt! love it!
I'm mostly a whisk(e)y drinker, but I'll sip on the Grand Mayan any day of the week. The oak influence is incredible and always gives me a Cognac-like impression. Cheers.
Love his pronunciation , it's so important to say the names correctly , beautiful video :)
Not important at all. You don't see non Americans trying to pronounce our English words correctly. A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.
Cazadores reposado is a great value, IMHO... far better than Patron repo. $18.95 here in AZ, a steal. For a bigger taste and more flavor, but with a little more burn, 3 Amigos Anejo is very good at around $30.

One of my favorite tequilas is "Centenario" añejo. It's around $35.

Paradiso for the WIN
Great job! My classics are pueblo viejo and San matias gran reserva. Must try.
Ricardo Gutierrez price on those 2 tequilas?
Jesus F. 40-50
Love your video's they give me a great reference points on what to collect and not to get
Much appreciated. Very valuable information.
You were wondering why the Maestro Dobel Diamond is a light color is because it's the original cristalino so it's been filtered.
super interesting...waou!! se la comio!! Muy Buena la informacion
What do you recommend as a good beginner tequila, my price range is anything as long as its not too much over $100. ?
Always great to see new videos from you
Hey man, great review! I'm a huge fan of a strong agave flavor, what would you recommend for me?
A bit late but have you tried the partida Anejo? If so how would you compare it to the reposado? Thanks again 👍
Great video...what tequila would you say is the best for making cocktails such as margaritas?
+gviola90 - I think the old Maestro Dobel Diamond with the metal base made a great mixer. Unfortunately, those are hard to find, so I'd say Tapatio Reposado or Blanco or the Puro Verde Blanco (or the "Puro One Ten" if you need the abv boost) are all great if they're in your area. Now if you're making a premium top shelf, the Roca Patron's are right up their with Fortaleza's and I think they're more nationally available. See my Roca Patron review video here: ruclips.net/video/PLZMmSCzGRE/видео.html Cheers!
+LiquorHound thanks! I have seen the one with the metal bottom...may I ask what is the difference?
Man, this video is dope. I want a collection like yours. I only have: Clase Azul Reposado, Don Julio 1942, Don Julio Real, Rey Sol extra añejo, Gran Patron Burdeos, and Herradura Legend.
Those are all really nice tequilas! Just keep slowly adding and you’ll get there. Cheers!
it would be nice if you said how much you paid for each bottle. otherwise a great vid
Thanks for the awesome review, my favorite so far has be the Jose Cuervo Reserva. Time to try the other...:)
Especially the Grand Mayan, the ceramic bottle will look sweet on my shelf.
What do u think of the riazul brand? I love the blanco and heard great thing about the others
Do you have a recommendation for a sipper that is smooth and is big on a fresh agave flavor?
Piggy-backing off the tres generaciones... I just bought the reposado (havent cracked it open yet). Do you have a recommendation for a tequila big on fresh agave flavor that is also smooth? (price being a non-issue)

Can you recomend tequilas to buy as collectibles to start off
Hey can you do an up to date or another top 5 or top 10 tequilas, thanks in advance
Hey Can you recommend a good but inexpensive Canadian Whiskey? and would you consider doing a video on canadian whiskey? what can you recommend within 20 to 30 dollars?
how does the Jose Cuervo 2015 Reserva De la Familia fall into this range? I love that tequila, but looking to branch out to even better ones

Have you tried the Don Julio 70th anniversary anejo? The color on it is very light.... I haven't picked it up...$60 price tag.
any chance in the comments you could write out the names of the top 5 there my friend...
What is your evaluation of Centennario Añejo?
Which Casa Noble are you referring to when you say the new 2 year old? I can't find it on their web site.
Wireline .Cables - They don't seem to list the age on their website, but the last time I was speaking to their rep, I was told the standard Añejo was 2 years old. It's the normal CN Añejo that you find in stores for around $60. Cheers!

Carlos H. Bieberach - If it has "100% Agave" on the front, I'd say yes. The later bottles did away with the 100% agave criteria and were not as good in my opinion (but the green añejo's are getting fairly rare now days). Cheers!
This guy is a legend. Thank you for these videos.
What would be your top picks of anejos in the $50-60 dollar range, readily available in TX? Thanks.
+degmar - In the $50-$60 range, I'd say you couldn't go wrong with Anejos made by Tapatio, Casamigos, or Casa Noble. If $3-5 dollar more is in the budget, the Arte Nom Anejo would be in reach and that line is great. Cheers!

Love tequila, and am a big fan of Hornitos Anjo . Very drinkable and affordable , but in the end people drink what they like. Great vidio, keep up the good work.
I really like Don Julio,Cabo Wabo,Don Eduardo. All very smooth and doesn't give a alcohol burn. One brand I found years ago was Don Abraham. I can't find it no more !!! Very smooth and tasted great also priced around $35-40 for Reposada & Anejo. Help me find this tequila.
5:06 - is Cabo Wabo still any good, after it was bought out by Campari?
+degmar - I'm not sure, but there's. better values to be had (like Herencia Mexicana, Tapatio, Corralejo, Casadores & Orgullo). If you can swing a tad more, ArteNOM and Fortaleza are worth buying. Cheers!
LiquorHound how much do Fortaleza set you back? Which of these Fortaleza tequila would you recomend? Blanco? Reposado or ahejo?
What's your opinion on the Fortaleza line? The blanco and anejo are in my top 10!
+Adrian L - Fortaleza is and has been great for a long time. I will say that due to their older hands-on techniques, I have noticed some batch variation in the bottles. That's not necessarily a bad thing , but some batches are better than others. Cheers!

I have not but I’ll see what I can do. Cheers!
Unfortunately I did not have the appreciation of tequila at that time like I do now. So I did not savor the flavor as I should have. There was a restaurant/tequila bar in Roseville, CA. called Tres Agave who sold it by the shot. In doing so they engrave your name on a plaque and place it on the "1800 Wall". It was a celebration of a friend's 1st Pro boxing victory - a $700 toast! Since the store closed, they moved our plaques to the location in San Fran. So I will eventually try it again.
Great review, keep it up!!
Have you had Bacanora 300 años?
It made only in Sonora .
I was surprised not to see a bottle of Corralejo Reposado on your table there! I'm guessing you don't favor that one as much. Corralejo is in my taste one of the most highest quality Reposados you can get for under 50 bucks. I find that Corralejo and Cabo Wabo chilled have almost the same exact taste. I also have fairly any experience with Tequilas though. Just my input! I enjoy your videos.
what do you think of the Espolon Blanco , in my area it's 19 bucks
+MrDbcooper456 - If it's the older tall bottles with the metal labels, they're tasty! If it's the newer squatty bottles, they're not as good, but they're serviceable (especially in cocktails). Cheers!
+LiquorHound Why is it that most of the time the older version of whatever bottles are always better? any new bottles of old brands that better?
Have you tried any of the DeLeon or Azulejos tequilas?
Love your channel. Where do you put Clase Azul Reposado?
Thank you! I feel it’s a nice dessert style tequila (meaning they add a bit of sweetener to it). So if you like a port, sherry, or madeira as an after dinner drink, this is in that vein. Cheers!
I’ve been drinking the a Burdeos for a while..... amazing.
I can tell this man from south Texas
Cheers brother
So which would be your favorite? Liqourhound
+Jorge Vargas - For unique depth of flavor and historical value, I'd say the Porfidio Barrique is my favorite. The only ones on the list that lag just slightly behind the rest are the Maestro Dobel (especially the new crystal clear ones), Partida and the Grand Mayan tequila. The others are all very solid choices. Just remember the El Tesoro, Casa Noble & Paradiso are all older bottlings. Cheers!
I just asked my friend about a tequila we had at a bar in NYC. Can't figure out what it was. I was blown away that it could be tequila. very very smooth compared to patron silver. Any guesses? it was medium priced. I think it was clear from what i remember.
I'm not sure. See if you can look up their bar list online, and hopefully one of the listed Tequilas will jog your memory. Good luck and cheers!
He said anejo . Yes that's what he's doing cheers
Well if you find out, let us know what brand it was. Cheers!
I really enjoyed this review.
Waiting for your next upload :)
Just got for my self a bottle of Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia. (With the box and everything)
Got my friend who was travelling to US bring back one for me. Price a bit steep though, USD160.
What is the name of the tequila on the right end ( your left) in this video please?
Where is Milagro ?
great job Texan
Hello, how is the Avion 44 for its quality at its price point?
Not really worth it imo. It's tasty, but that money can be put into better bottles (like Adictivo Extra Anejo). Cheers!
No 1800!? :( That’s my favorite lol right there with Jose Cuevo
Tequila in middle East is very expensive especially for 100% Agave Tequila. My favorite is don julio, Herradura, El Jimador and Patron.
Liquor Hound - is there a NOM listed on the Porfido Barrique??
+andrew416z - Mine carries the old NOM 1141. Cheers!
Sounds like the drink I've been looking for.
have you ever tried tres generaciones?
+Big Dawg - It was a solid line and the old embossed black bottle añejo was a favorite of mine in the late 90's. Cheers!
Big Dawg try 7 Leguas it is wayyyyy better.
I don't see your review on casamigos variants. I heard good reviews on this tequila.
Can't believe Cava de Oro Extra Anejo Tequila didn't make your list.
Thanks, mate! I'll be giving those a shot- pun intended.
Have you tries Casa Dragones?
musicwatchquattro wayyyyyyy to expensive for what it ofers.
What about 1942 Don Julio? That is my favorite!
