A Guide🧭To The Different Types Of Tequila. What Tequila Should You Be Drinking?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 май 2024
- When I set out to learn about tequila, I asked professionals in the distilling industry who would be the right person to teach me all about the Different varieties of tequila?
➡️ The name Clayton from La Cata came up repeatedly. This was such an amazing experience, and this video is my reference and guide for tequila as Clayton explained everything perfectly for me to grasp and hopefully you will use it in the same manner as well.
➡️ FYI........Some additional information about the episode:
When I say “birthplace of the drink that bears its name” - the tradition is born in what is now Amatitán, although at the time (1620-1640) that town was part of the canton of Tequila.
➡️ Due to the Pandemic, I am sad to say that La Cata has closed its doors in Tequila, Mexico. Clayton continues to share his knowledge about Tequila and is currently writing a book about the amazing agave spirit.

Hi, I’m Jeff Bradford. My passion for beer, wine, and spirits ignited an urge to investigate the stories behind the labels.
🌏 So, in 2018, I sold everything I owned to travel the world.
My objective: to learn the secrets of brewers, winemakers, and distillers.
From Switzerland to Jalisco, I set out to determine why their process yields extraordinary results.
With each stop on the map, I reveal time-honored traditions, cultural influences, and industry practices that help you discover the soul of these incredible products.
As a former member of the US military, I learn by doing.
You will see me harvesting grapes in South Africa, pouring beer at Oktoberfest, and chopping agave in Tequila.
➡️ My channel is dedicated to the passionate, hardworking people who make the beverages associated with our favorite celebrations, special events and amazing moments with those we love.
Join me as I find the next fascinating story about your favorite Beer, Wine, and Spirits.

My takeaway from this is if I drink the first half of the bottle one night, the responsible thing to do is drink the other half the next night? That’s some advice I can get behind
Hahahahaha that’s what I took away from it as well. Then I watched it again and was like oh I have other alternatives. Nah, I’ll stick to drinking the other half the next night with friends. Hahahahaha thanks for the comment brother, -Jeff
I did that. The next day I walked into my friend’s bathroom blitzed sideways and slipped on the tile and landed so hard against the back of the toilet that I split the tank right in half. Water everywhere. Funny tequila story…so I don’t drink the other half of the bottle the next day. Lol
It should be fine for a couple of days, but don't leave it more than a week.
Down the whole bottle in one night to avoid oxidation.
😂🤣🤣😂
This is by a distant far the most underrated yt channel I've ever come across
Rich Pianola Nobel Laureate in BRO science this was awesome to get. I’m sharing this comment right now in the restaurant I’m at. People are confused, but I’m pumped about the comment. Once I clarified they understand. Hahaha thanks really appreciate the comment. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations I don't think the RUclips algorithm likes you though, keep the good work mate
Just discovered it and totally agree.
Haven't watched any of the videos yet but I'll subscribe because of this comment
Love tequila, 16mins later I'm left with a newfound admiration for the product and process! Great video!
I appreciate you taking the time and letting me know what you about the episode. After spending a few weeks learning about tequila I’ve gained such a respect for it and it’s one of my go to drinking neat with whiskey. 4 years ago I would’ve never said that. Cheers, and appreciate the support. -Jeff
I love this! My mom was raised in Tequila, Jalisco and took my sister and I since we were children. I still remember the roads being made of stone and jumping on them on our way to the plaza. Just went in March and am super excited to go back next summer to see the family. It really is a magical town. 💕
Wow, this is really amazing! I love hearing this and can totally relate. as an adult I was jumping on the stones on the road also hahaha. It’s such a great town and ambiance! I understand why you love it so much. Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoyed the video. -Jeff
Damn! That was one of the best videos I've seen on tequila by far. Nice job, man.
Appreciate it brother. My goal was for people to gain an appreciation for tequila. It’s amazing and one of the most regulated spirits. I have a a lot of respect for tequila after filming these episodes. So glad to get this comment. Thanks bro. -Jeff
I was thinking the same.
The most informative video on Tequila I have ever come across. Very concise, brief yet covered all that is needed to be addressed. 👍👍
This comment made my day. Thanks so much! I’m glad to be sharing this journey and what I’m learning in beer, wine, spirits with the rest of the world. Cheers and can’t thank you enough for the taking the time to write this. -Jeff
The best thing about this video is no Patron or other celebrity made shit
💯💯💯🙏
patron is garbage
oh no but I like Patron :-)
@@ClaudeDiamond its ok for mixed drinks or shots but if you want to actually enjoy the liquor it's bottom of the barrel stuff
LOL! So true!
the quality of this video is A+, you definitely are underrated, new sub!!
Thanks so much!! I’ve always said I respect the process and the biggest thing is improving what I do and having amazing support from people like you. I do have a big smile reading this. Thanks for starting my day off right with this message. -Jeff
You have scratched the surface of Mexico! Once you learn Tequila, explore Mezcal, the scotch of Mexico. I travel to Tijuana for business monthly, so much good food and drink to experience in that culture!
Thanks for the comment and I hear you, so much to experience and can’t wait to explore more into Mezcal, Raicilla, bacanora, and sotol. Cheers, -Jeff
You had me at Mezcal
Yes, mezcal is King! As they tell you in Huatulco, “tequila is for babies”👍
Tequila is Mezcal....cheers
Begining from the kind people México has all over it land ...!
Keep coming and keep visiting our country is magical ...!
Regards...!
Man, I'm really glad that I came across this video. It was extremely enlightening and fun to watch. Definitely subscribing to your channel, keep up the good work. Cheers from Istanbul, Turkey!
Brother thanks so much and super pumped you enjoyed the episode. So glad to have support from Istanbul. Such an amazing city. Man, I gained so much weight enjoying the kabobs and cuisine there. Love it and the Raki also. Hahaha. Cheers, and thanks for the comment! -Jeff
Jeff, really appreciate you making this video. Perfect introduction to understanding the fundamentals of tequila. I searched Clayton from La Cata immediately - found his website and will look into a tour with Clayton especially given that La Cata closed - what a shame, looked like a fantastic place. Thanks again, keep them coming. You have one new fan now.
Thanks so much for the comment and Clayton is amazing! Such a good person and La Cata was the premier place to go for all things tequila. I got to experience while I was there and it is a shame. I’m so glad you enjoyed the episode and this is exactly why I started this channel. Cheers and if you run into Clayton on a future tour tell him hello for me. -Jeff
I'm 24 , never had taquila before, I was more vodka whiskey type of guy but I wanted to experience more so I came here to see and learn about taquila. You guys made it fun to watch and very professional and simple! Thank you 👍🏻
Lion Golani super cool. Yeah I use to think tequila was only gold and silver and you have sat and like with it. This is not the way to enjoy Tequila. I’m so glad you enjoyed the episode and any of the bottles you see in the episode I highly recommend. Cheers and thanks for commenting on a few posts and letting us know how we are doing. -Jeff
Once I stopped doing shots I learned how to appreciate tequila. 😂
If you like whiskey, what kind do you like? I'm a bourbon and Irish whiskey guy. But if you like smokey scotch (islay) you would really enjoy mezcal.
Took me time to appreciate it. Take it as a slow sipper to be appreciated and loved for the hard work and process that comes from the people and the soil
This looks like a great series. Glad I stumbled upon it!
I’m glad you did also. Thanks for the comment and I learned so much about tequila and have a huge appreciation and understanding of it that I get to share with everyone else interested in tequila. The people and bottles featured are some of the best. Cheers, -Jeff
It is nice to see people with a passion for something. Informative, simple, and to the point. Great job!
Really appreciate the comment brother. Thank you 🙏-Jeff
Great job, thanks for your efforts in getting this information packed video to us. Clayton, you did a great job as well! BZ!
Oliver Walker thanks so much for the comment, feedback and I learned so much from Clayton. Glad you enjoyed it! -Jeff
So glad i found this video! I recently discovered Tequila and I am often amazed at the range of tastes. Great information, thanks!!
Thanks for taking time to let me know and glad you enjoyed the episode. -Jeff
Clayton is a fantastic teacher! Thank you for this. I learned a lot.
Really glad you enjoyed the episode and Clayton is the man and can talk all day about tequila. It’s so great to meet passionate people talk about their craft. -Jeff
I agree with the other comments, the videos on this channel are very well produced and highly informative. This one got me more excited about trying new tequila. Just subscribed and shared channel with friends!
So awesome to get this message......Thanks so much!!! My goal when starting this channel was to share everything I’m learning about beer, wine, and spirits. Im new to the industry and I’m doing it in my style, and it’s awesome to hear everyone is enjoying the content. It’s Only going to get better, I promise that. Cheers, -Jeff
This Tequila series is awesome.I never knew much about it before now. Thanks.
Thanks so much. I’m starting to realise that there is so much more to learn about products we think we know about. Tequila for me has such a bad rap for only being a shot and then have it with salt, and lemon. It’s just not the case. -Jeff
Awesome video, very succinct and easy to understand. Especially liked the explanation of why tequila should be more expensive than other spirits.
Thanks so much for the comment and it was such an eye opening experience for me about tequila. I’m glad to share it and provide insight about Tequila. There is some amazing tasting tequila out there other than gold and silver. Cheers -Jeff
Fantastic overview, thank you! My only question/confusion is the recommendation to finish a low bottle in a short time span. I've had open tequilas for well over a year and they didn't seem to lose any complexity or strength.
Thank you for a splendid education on a subject that had hitherto evaded my awareness. I particularly liked the clear explanation of the different ages of the spirit. I am also impressed with you have been in the military and now exploring such an interesting subject.
Take care and keep safe and thank you.

Thanks for taking the time and commenting and the support brother. Couldn’t of asked for a better person to discuss tequila than Clayton. Unfortunately his bar la Cata closed during the pandemic which was a must visit place when touring the city of tequila.
Going to Mexico in a week and this is the exact video I was looking for, really great stuff!
Awesome so glad to get this comment. Cheers and enjoy Mexico and thanks for taking the time and commenting. -Jeff
Jeff, I'm getting more appreciated everytime I watch your well-made videos. I feel like I should pay to watch these honest and amazing videos - Ahmad
Thanks brother! Not at all. Comments are more then enough. It’s a lot that goes into these episodes and glad you can pay respect to that process. Thanks man. Cheers, -Jeff
Love what you are doing here with this project. Instantly subscribed. Keep at it, love the content.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I appreciate it. I’m always searching for amazing stories around the world I’ve got some awesome stories coming out in the near future. Excited to hear your thoughts about them. Cheers, -Jeff
Very interesting n very informative! I've neva tasted tequila but love th beauty of th plant, the glass bottle designs, th process that goes into producing etc . .Thnks I love education n learning about new stuff 👍🏾
P.s cute smile from Clayton at th end too wraps everything up nicely 💃🏿 😉
Hahahahaha thanks so much and really glad you enjoyed the episode. Yes, I didn’t know anything about tequila prior to the trip other than salt, lime and a shot. It was eye opening and meeting experts like Clayton taught me a lot. It’s great because people like you are literally learning with me. Cheers and I appreciate you taking time to comment. -Jeff
This video is great! I’ve been a member of the sip tequila club for awhile out of Florida, my love of tequila has grown every year since I’ve joined.
Really appreciate the comment and glad you liked the video. Big hi-five to the sip tequila club, Cheers -Jeff
As a newer bourbon drinker, the information that was provided wants me to take a look at other spirits. I also enjoy the extra “military” type questions you asked. Very well done
Thanks so much and I appreciate you taking the time to comment. This is how I get better and I’m grateful for the feedback, good or bad. Cheers, -Jeff
Amazing, educational video. I can’t wait to visit his bar! Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed the episode and thanks for taking time to comment. Cheers, -Jeff
Tons of great info. Thank you for this well-made video!
So glad you enjoyed the episode and taking the time to let us know how we did. Cheers
Damn, this video is so badass. I have learned so much about tequila. My family is from Guadalajara, Jalisco. I wanna visit this city.
This comment made my day. I learned so much about tequila and I’m glad to share I’m what I learned with everyone. Guadalajara is such an amazing place. You should def. visit soon. Cheers and thanks so much for taking time to comment. 🤘🏻🤘🏻 -Jeff

So glad to hear this! I also learned so much and have a new respect for tequila. Cheers and thanks for taking the time to give feedback about what I’m doing. Cheers, -Jeff
So frustrated it took me this long to see this video... great video!!! Thank u 🙏🏻

Wonderfully explained..simply amazing..
Thanks so much for or taking the time to comment and really glad to share information about Tequila. It’s such an amazing product and so many great sipping tequilas out there. Cheers, -Jeff
Until I watched this show I had no idea about this or how to read a bottle. Thank you - great information!
So glad you enjoyed the episode and before this episode I didn’t know anything about tequila. I learned so much and I’m glad to share with you. Cheers and thanks for taking the time to comment. -Jeff
Great educational video on the subject, thanks for doing this, I learned alot.
Awesome, thanks for taking time to let me know and glad you got value from it. Cheers, -Jeff
first time to watch one of your videos.. I like this kind of information! awesome!!
Thanks so much and glad you’re enjoying the episode.
I see my three favorite tequilas, Arette, G4, and Fortaleza. Hands down one of the best videos about tequila on RUclips. Looking forward to visiting Tequila one day.
I can tell you definitely know your tequila. It’s comments like this that keep me going and striving to get better every episode. I appreciate you taking the time to write it. Cheers, -Jeff
that was really informative video i have ever seen about tequila... thanks a lot for that 1✌✌🍾
Thanks and glad you enjoyed the episode
very informative. Thanks a ton.
How did I only come across this channel now? LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for the message and so glad you are enjoying the content. Any episodes you would like to see in the future? Cheers, -Jeff
A tall glass, ice, a generous shot of Corralejo Reposado Tequila, a shot or big dash of fresh lime juice and fill the rest of the glass with lemonade. My FAVORITE summer-time evening drink.
That sounds amazing. Definitely trying this. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding, clear and simple explanation to help anyone caught up in the tequila maze!!!
Thanks so much! I learned so much from Clayton and have such a deeper appreciation for tequila.
Luv these kind of concise informative classy videos
Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to comment. It was awesome to read and glad you enjoyed the episode. Cheers🙏🙏 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Gentleman and a scholar.. He wear stars with a reason
I have always preferred a blanco tequila. What a great video. Very interesting.
Channel randomly showed up in my feed, stayed, watched, & subscribed.
Thanks so much. So glad the video randomly showed up and can’t thank you enough for the support and more importantly taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. Cheers, -Jeff
SUPER informative. Thanks, and cheers!
Thank you so much and I always say it but, good, bad etc. I appreciate you taking time to Comment. 🙏🙏🙏-Jeff
I love the Blanco agave tequilas! I sip and do not do shots as I like to taste the requila, so no salt, but sometimes orange or lime. Excellent, educational video! Thank you!
I appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed the episode. I was learning when filming this and have such an appreciation for tequila. Couldn’t agree more with how citrus complements Blanco. Cheers! -Jeff
Now that was HIGHLY Informative! Thank You! :-)
So glad it was informative for ya and I was learning when I filmed this as well. Thanks for the comment and hope you enjoy our other episodes. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations I have subscribed for obvious reasons! Keep up the good works-)
So glad I bumped into your channel. I love tequila and want to learn about it. I have learned the hard way about beer, and wine, just buying different brands and tasting. A slow and expensive way, and sometimes not so good tasting products. Now I can cut down on time, cost, and narrow it down to get to the good stuff. I don't like oak barrel aged spirits, or wines. Now I can hunt for the Blanco brands first and hopefully find one I like. Thanks for the education and information on a very interesting form of alcohol.
So glad you found my channel also. Hope you’re enjoying the stories and I’m currently in Scotland learning all about whisky here. Episodes coming soon. Cheers and thanks so much for this comment, means a lot. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Pleasure is all mine, and cheers to you!! 🥂🥃🍺🍷👍
A great video, with lots of awesome info for beginners. I would have really liked to have seen Clayton touch on production methods and which ones result in a better quality product- as well as benefit the industry and sustainability, in general- but I understand time constraints and not wanting to make it too deep. Perhaps you could focus on those in a future episode? Salud!
Can’t thank you enough for the comment and 100 percent agree going more in depth, especially on production methods. I’m thinking an awesome episode about this needs Guillermo from Fortaleza and the guys at Casacahuin to be part of it. I’ve got some awesome ideas I’m writing down now. Thanks again for your feedback and support. Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations that would make for a great episode. I think really going in depth on the entire production process, from harvesting to cooking to crushing to distillation- and discrediting brands that use industrial production methods (diffusers)- would go a long way in educating viewers and really helping them appreciate and respect the monumental amount of work and pride that goes into this incredible spirit.
I learned a lot more than I knew! Thanks guys!
Thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed the episode. Cheers, -Jeff
Incredible video thank you everyone who had a hand in this video!
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks and I will pass it on the kind words to my Videographer Yoel. It was him & I who created this. Cheers and thanks for taking your time to comment. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations yes definitely! I've grown a love for tequila the drunk and place . My ancestors are from Jalisco.
F Gonzalez so awesome to hear! Absolutely love that place. So much history
Very informative interview and entertaining video!
Glad you enjoyed it brother. Honestly I had no clue about Tequila prior to this trip. I have a new respect for it and drink a lot differently than I use to which was the whole salt, lime, and shot. Thanks for taking time to comment. -Jeff
Fantastic informative look, thank you!!
Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed the episode. -Jeff
I've said this on other videos of yours but i know comments help creators: I freakin like your channel, dude.

Wow this very insightful i did not expect tequila to be broken down like this I'm not big on liquor but I knew there was something special about tequilas!
So awesome to get this comment. Thanks so much. I said the same thing when I learned all about tequila. It opened up my eyes to how amazing Tequila is and how much I didn’t know about it. Glad I can share. Cheers, -Jeff
Great Show specially this Clíp on tequila so informative

Great explanations! Thx 😊
Thanks for letting us know. And for the longest time I thought there was only gold and silver tequila Hahahhaha i couldn’t believe all the different types. Cheers, -Jeff
Great video, tequila newbie, love to learn the important things when picking out my next bottle
Thanks so much and if you can find any of the brands in the video, I can tell you, you won’t be disappointed. Cheers and thanks for taking time to comment!
Being born in Guadalajara, near Tequila, Jalisco. And as a Mexican, I’m truly proud of the work you have done here. ¡Salud!

Excellent video. I’ve been to Tequila town, it’s a magical place.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I agree with ya, Tequila is such a great place to visit and enjoyed my time there as well.
Tip for when your bottles get low that an og taught me was to use parafilm ..works great to not let air into your bottle.
Awesome, thanks for sharing this. Never heard of this and will look it up and try. Cheers, -Jeff
You are a god amongst men thank you for the information
great video!! i learned so much!!
I’m So glad you enjoyed the episode. Cheers and thanks for taking the time and commenting. -Jeff
Great video and great insights from Clayton. I have a new appreciation for Blanco. Before I would have considered it to be a lesser product because it’s not aged; I like that it’s “the true expression of the tequila and distiller”. As a whiskey and scotch drinker, the parallels are very interesting. In whiskey, the “white dog” is the un-aged product; one might sample some out of curiosity, but no one drinks white dog. We all wait 3-20 years for the whiskey to be perfected. Blanco comes from the still as a ready to drink product (as do gin, vodka). Also the appreciation for the agave plant, it takes many years to cultivate, unlike grain that is churned out by the ton every year. Much appreciated!
Couldn’t of said it better, I’m currently in Scotland now learning all about Scotch and was thinking about how palatable “New Make” spirit was compared to Blanco tequila. Tequila is special and glad people are starting to realize this. Thanks for commenting and perspective, I really appreciate it. Cheers, -Jeff
Wow! I consider myself a serious tequila enthusiast and Clayton did a superb job! (... albeit, I was saddened to read the update comment of the closing of his tequila bar due to the pandemic)
Yeah Clayton gave me a whole new respect for tequila. glad to feature him and unfortunately lost one of the best tequila bars around.
I wonder if he is planning on reopening, or maybe opening something new? It's hard to keep a good man down.
Excellent and well made video. Very sad to see that Clayton's business has had to shut down!
Thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed the episode. Clayton is such a wealth of knowledge in the tequila industry. I learned so much from him and I’m sad to see his business go as well.
thank you for the information. good video
Awesome, thanks so much for the feedback and really glad you enjoyed the episode. -Jeff
Thanks for the video. I needed to educate myself. All I knew was to get 100% Agave. I rode my motorcycle from Portland to Ushuaia Argentina in 2016 and ran out of gin near Mexico City. So I switched to tequila and have been drinking it ever since. State side I drink mostly 1800 Silver.
Holy shit that is a bitchin story. I bet you have some wild stories from that trip. Respect. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and glad you enjoyed the video. All the bottles in the video are some of my favourites I tried and are not as main stream but well known from people who know tequila. Cheers -Jeff
Very interesting (I have to admit I'm a complete newbie in that category of spirits & I just started a few years ago to discover agave through Mezcal which seems to me a fascinating spirit but I guess it could be interesting to do comparisons with those 2, Tequila & Mezcal. Your guest is knowledgeable & the tips given useful, I'll remember them when looking into the shelves now, Cheers from France ! (PS: Besides, your story & very original journey is really amazing, you should write a book/guide if not already made).
I learned so much from Clayton and I have a new respect for tequila after learning all about it and working in the fields and distilleries. What a process to make it.
Great idea about book/guide. Something I’ve been thinking about. If you ever make it over to Scotland let me know. I’m here now through 2023 learning about whisky. Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Yeah so many great people around the world, indeed....Yes, do it ! Thanks for your proposal but I'm not travelling at the moment, or not too far (I had to do a 70 to 100 km this year to go work on the side for a French distillery as a consultant blender, yes blender is my thing even if I'm self taught, but supported by John Glaser' friendship over the years & i did exchange also with other famous master blenders, so you'll never know). Slainte ! And being a huge channel (yours) I do appreciate the fact you took the time to answer every single comment I made ! (not all do) 👍
Very informative video. Thank you!
Thanks so much and I’m glad you enjoyed the episode. I appreciate you taking the time and commenting. -Jeff
I am from Mexico, and most of this was new to me, cheers
So great to hear! I have a new respect for tequila after visiting. Glad I can share what I learned with the rest of the world. -Jeff
Why didn’t I find this channel earlier.. I always wanted to know more about alcoholic drinks and couldn’t find good resources. Now, I guess I have found the perfect resource..
So glad you found it! I appreciate the comment and we have some amazing episodes coming in the future. Cheers and thanks for the support. -Jeff
Good info. After watching it I ran to my bar to look at what I purchased in Mexico. Some of the bottles don’t have the NOM numbers on them so they may be questionable. I did get a good buy on a bottle of Seleccion Suprema that I’ve been nursing for a while and it’s good to know about the 50% rule. Tequila party!
Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed the episode and hopefully other episodes as well. Hahahaha tequila party indeed once the bottle is almost gone. Hahahaha cheers brother! -Jeff
Impressive quality channel. Subscribed.
Can’t thank you enough and I can tell you I’ve learned so much from the first video until now and still have so much to learn making videos. I can promise that I will get better and constantly improve on what I’m doing. Thanks for taking time to comment and I appreciate the support. Couldn’t do this without ya! Cheers, -Jeff
I don’t know how this video popped out on my RUclips but glad it did!!! Awesome videos!!!!
Hahahahaha bro I’m glad it did to. I don’t understand the YT algorithm but I do know I can control and create videos and focus on improving what I do. Thanks for the support and appreciate you commenting 👊🏻👊🏻-Jeff
Beer, Wine and Spirits can you do a list of your favorite tequilas?
Will you do videos about your drinking stories in the military? We all have them (marine vet myself!! 🇺🇸)
Julio Gonzalez great question and I try to stay neutral when it comes to recommendations but I will tell you pay attention to this tequila episode and the labels I filmed. Hint they are my favourites bro and favorites of the people I highlighted in the episode. -Jeff
Julio Gonzalez and yes at some point I would love to do episodes with vets about stories over a drink. It’s a great idea. Thanks for your service bro👊🏻👊🏻.
Quite educative in its content. Thanks dear.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Great video. Do one for Rum next please. The interviewer was very knowledgeable about the different tequilas. I didn't even know about the white tequila nor what I should be mindful of when buying tequila. Great work
Thanks so much. Rum is definitely on the list to film. any brands of rum you enjoy? I definitely like the small producers. I’ve been in talks with Mount Gay Rum which is one of the oldest. Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the episode. Cheers! -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Bumbo & Bumbo XO have been the best rums I have had so far. Kuleana Rum will be my next buy. Thanks to the internet we now have a wider variety to choose from instead of just what's at the local liquor store.
Couldn’t agree more. Thanks for sharing the rum ideas. Cheers
Incredible video…. I’m definitely going to view tequila differently from now on.
Thanks so much and after my trip and learning all about tequila I definitely view it differently now as well. Cheers and glad you enjoyed the episode. -Jeff
I had the opportunity to tour Casa Siete Leguas in Atotonilco, Jalisco. I was really happy to see you had their D’Antaño bottle for your tasting and have tried their Single Barrel. I am also a big fan of the San Matias tequilas and hope to try their Rey Sol one day. Thanks for the great video. Take care and God bless 🙏
Your drinking some great stuff from your comment. I tried to highlight amazing brands in hopes people take notice and try them out. The Rey sol is amazing and you won’t be disappointed. Cheers and can’t thank you enough for taking time to comment. Really appreciate it. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Which bottles would you recommend? I hope to go back to Jalisco soon.
@@delantsotsan I’m a big fan of Volans, Fortaleza, Cascahuin and Arette. I can go on and on but really love traditional methods of tequila making and these distilleries are keeping it old school which I respect. Also not your main stream tequila writers will discuss these brands often but any tequila enthusiast will know them.
I'm 73 years old now and I've been drinking tequila since I was in my late twenties, and I've tried some of the most expensive brands out there, and I really liked all of them, but I'm retired and on Social Security and I can't afford to buy expensive tequila, so whenever I buy it I always buy Sauza clear (not the gold). It has a great taste and is very smooth, and it gives you a good buzz.
I have a pretty good idea that if you sat and drank some of the top shelf tequila with a 'tequila expert' and after four or five shots, without him looking, you switched his glass with a glass of Sauza, that he wouldn't know the difference. Just sayin'.
I can’t argue with you Jim, Sauza is amazing tequila. sounds like you definitely know your tequila and you know definitely should splurge on yourself from time to time on a tequila that you have good memories with. Cheers and thanks for taking time to comment. -Jeff
That was my grandfathers daily tequila. He drank it daily till he passed at 96
you know what's weird is i, too, did a tequila phase on different brands and finally settled on Sauza clear - that taste is so good!
@@serenityrahn5656 ~ Yeah, and it's reasonably priced. Personally I think it's the best tequila for the money.
I do like Sauza also, but it’s what I make my margaritas with. It’s not a sipping tequila for me. I can still splurge a little and my favorite right now is Milagro single barrel reposado. But that is also just my taste. I’m sure there are better that I haven’t tried yet. But to me, the tequila you should buy is the one that tastes good to you and you can afford. If I have a good month I get the single barrel reserve reposado.
