    The town of Tequila a wonderful place, sure the roads are horrible but when you see all the work the "Jimadores" (harvesters) put in and the process of making it, it is a wonderful thing.

      Don Julio is a premium tequila brand, and the process makes it very smooth. I’m only familiar with Don Julio’s Silver, depending on how long the tequila rests in the barrel will affect how smooth the final product is. I recently bought a bottle of Hornitos Reposado. Silver rests for 2 to 4 months, reposado for 7 months, and añejo ages for at least 14 months. I just bought a sample bottle of Casamigos añejo, and I must say it is very nice.

    • @theramo0
      @theramo0 5 лет назад +2

      @@juancastellon7183 None of that is correct. Aging a tequila longer does not make it smoother. A silver tequila is always aged less than 2 months, a reposado is aged for 2-12 months, an anejo is aged for 1-3 years, and an extra anejo is aged for more than three years

    Was great to see their process. I am a fan of Don Julio's tequila. On a visit to the highlands of Jalisco, Don Julio unfortunately was not doing any tours. We were able to visit the Siete Leguas Fabrica and were impressed. Siete Leguas still uses the tahona stone led by burros to grind their agave.

      Roz Pierce actually its nothing compare to 7 Leguas Tequila it come from the same place that don julio in Atotonilco El Alto Jalisco Guadalajara they only sell it in Mexico and not everywhere. If u ever get a chance to go try it everybody prefers 7 Leguas than don julio, patron, etc.

    This goes way beyond a small tour we went on near Mazatlan. All they did there was show us the very end of the process, lock us in a room, and give us half a dozen samples of fine tequila :) Contrary to what another guy was saying, it is quite drinkable by itself, unlike what we might buy in a liquor store here in the states. So my question is, what's in the garden variety tequila that's not in the good stuff?
