Fresh lime juice, agave nectar and tequila. Occasionally I add water depending on what type of agave nectar I buy (pure versus diluted).

I know some people will say I am crazy, but I do like anejo in my margaritas. A margarita with Partida anejo is the way to go.

I did not even read this before I went to the store. Ended up with Partida Reposado. on sale for $32. GREAT stuff.

What do you guys like best; Silver, Reposado, Anejo?

I mostly prefer Silver...especially Patron Silver
Reposado is also good, but I drink it very rare :)

I'm really stuck on Cabo Wabo Reposado. Loooooooooooooooooooove the stuff.

Either way I like Reposado in a Tequilla, not really a Anjeo fan. If you knew me you'd be shocked I even like Tequilla......Long story from a long time ago.

Anyway.

When I make Margaritas I use, fresh lime juice,Lemon juice, Cabo, Triple sec and Pineapple juice. Blend with ice and i'm good to go.

Picked up a bottle of Chinaco Anejo tequila today as I wanted something a little different than my favorite, which is the Don Julio Anejo. After a tiny sip, it does seem quite impressive. Unfortunately, it was $15 more/bottle.

Mostly depends upon how much you want to spend. Don Julio is always good. I also like Cazadores Reposado as a moderately priced yet tasty choice.

Don Julio Anejo is always a winner.

+1

It can be had for $50-55/bottle and is what I usually have on hand. It's much better than the Patron Anejo.

Yikes. I get it for $18 in Mexico!

What's the story with their new Anejo Claro?

Guess I better make a road trip for 1200+ miles @ $4+/gallon then. :r

Don't know anything about the Claro...

I just saw the ad in an airline magazine. Anejo does not age very long and are they aging it in wood that does not color it or is processed after it is aged?

For me Reposado is good balance of age without losing too much tequila taste.

I've only tried one resposado and for me, I found it to be quite peppery of sorts. I find the anejos to be much better.

The Claro is processed and filtered after aging.

So, I'm currently looking at tequila.net reviews and there are several highly rated anejos that are listed in the $35-70 range-more so than the very high priced stuff. It will be a miracle if I don't find a place and order several bottles online.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!
 
After looking at a number of reviews, I've got it "narrowed" down to just 13 anejos and having a hell of a time eliminating any of these:

1) Corrido
2) Don Pilar
3) Peligroso
4) Azunia
5) El Jimador
6) Casa Noble
7) Don Julio
8) El Tesoro
9) Siete Leguas
10) Don Lunas
11) 4 Copas
12) Partida
13) Riazul

I'd prefer to keep my initial tequila "inventory" to be about half of that size. So far, the "musts" seem to be Partida, El Tesoro, Don Pilar, and Riazul. Any suggestions?

From what I am seeing, Herradura isn't a highly rated anejo. Obviously, ratings are subjective whether it involves cigars or tequila, but I'm more inclined to start out with several that are rated much higher and sound more appealing from the tasting notes I've read thus far.

Espolon & Casa Noble are two brands of Tequila I quite enjoy; how are their Anejo's rated?
