What is Your Favorite Tequila

I'm Thirsty Now

 

I’m still on my high proof kick. 110 is the highest proof a tequila can be

Mine is gone too. So picked up a 3 so when my other bottle is gone… which will be soon.

I’ve only had 3 a couple times but I remember it being pretty good. Enjoy it!

 

I like it better than the Ocho. Both are very good.

 

Time for another.

That’s a good idea. I was sipping on that one last night.

 

Stopped by my local shop and this was recommended.

I don’t think I’ve had Siembra Valles but I’ve had other bottles from 1123 and really enjoyed them. Should be a good recommendation, let us know how it is!

 

Over the years I’ve yet to find anything that beats Three Tears for my pallet.

Somebody please show me a bottle that exceeds the depth, layers, abundance of flavors and lasting finish of Tears.

 

I’ve been sticking with blancos lately but tonight I decided to bring out my bottle of Tears.

It’s been a while since I’ve had it but wow it is better than I remembered. To answer your question though, Cazcanes is the only bottle that comes close in terms of flavor. I poured a glass of the repo after the Tears and it held up. I don’t think I’ve had the Anejo

 

That’s funny. Last night I went to bed remembering that I had posted this and gotten no response. I was going to declare Three Tears the absolute best based on the fact nobody had come up with anything better. I’ve been drinking Blanco’s lately too for the summer. Really love the ones that have natural citrus instead of vanilla.
I’ll pick up a bottle of the Cazcanes and weigh in soon

 

I’ve been really enjoying this and hope to find more of it.

I'm no master taster and can't describe all the nuances of flavors but I really like it. It's softer and not as sharp as the 3. Lighter but still has a punch. Clean tequila taste and not sweat like some out there. I'd definitely get it again. Few dollars more than the 3. I like it better than the Ocho Anejo I had recently.

Need to try the Three Tears mentioned ^.

 

Don Julio 70 just got real cheap.

 

I wanted to do another tasting before replying. It was a good excuse to drink some tequila

Of course blancos and extra anejos are very different drinks. I guess I have my favorites at each level. Fuenteseca and Cascahuin Tahona are a couple of my favorite blancos.

Only available at Southern Spirits in Fort Mill, South Carolina. They go down to Mexico and select their own barrels.

Back out west and needed a bottle. This looked interesting. It's nice, bit more pointed than the 3 and Siembra Valles. They didn't have the Three Tears and it didn't show on their list.

Happy national tequila day! I’m starting out with a glass of one of my favorites.

I picked this up at the recommendation of The Duke.

I’d say it’s 2/3 of the flavor of Three Tears for 2/3 the price. It’s excellent.

My all time favorite blanco

 

Very nice. I haven’t tried their Rosa Reposado yet so may need to check it out next time.

I also had Cazcanes Still Strength and Reposado last night to celebrate national tequila day. I also mixed in a Lalo/soda or two.

 

Pre 2020 I would use Fortaleza as a mixer for margaritas and ranch waters since it was so easy to get. I haven’t seen it on a shelf since 2020 and typically just drink it neat at bars.

A local store got some in and but you had to buy it in a bundle. A tad high on price but the stuff it was bundled with is good tequila and not some junk they’re trying to get rid of.

The reposado bundle had Lagrimas Del Valle. It’s from the Cascahuin distillery (NOM 1123)
The blanco bundle had Ensueno. I wasn’t immediately sold on this bundle but the store owner gave me a taste and I was pleasantly surprised.

I’m just happy to have full bottles of Fortaleza on my shelf again.

I’m getting the same situation up here where to get the Fortileza have to spend $500 on other things. It’s like having to buy a Lusso to have the opportunity to purchase a Pista
