Tequila Thread!!!
 

I love tequila so I though I would create a thread to talk about it...

I like it straight, with lime or mixed with all kinds of things...

Currently I am working on a bottle of Don Eduardo Silver, great stuff!

Any other tequila lovers out there?

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I really like Corazon Anejo and enjoy it in a snifter glass. Great taste and very smooth!! :tu

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I'm not a huge drinker but I really like Patron Silver...and Don Julio!

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Patron Silver :tu

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I only have the sauza hornitos reposado at home ... the Patron silver was demolished last neighborhood party we had. The hornitos is more of a mixer in my opinion but I do like to sip it.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I haven't tried the Don Julio yet, but I am looking to...

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

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I love tequila too. My favorite is Corazon... a night out with the boys isnt complete without tequila.

I prefer mine shaken with ice and strained into a shotglass. One shot, no training wheels necessary.

Corazon can be sipped quite nicely though.

When most people think of tequila they think of that yellow paint thinner in a bottle called cuervo... that stuff is puke

It's gotta be 100% De Agave

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

:tpd:

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Patron Silver is ALWAYS around me :D Special occasions call for Gran Patron Platinum.


Question for everyone, Has anyone tried the New Gran Patron? It's an Anejo from what I have read.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Another vote for the Patron Silver. I am not a huge Tequila drinker, but I really like the silver.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

If you guys like Patron Silver, you owe it to yourself to try Casa Noble Crystal, El Tesoro Silver and Los Abuelos Blanco (my favorite). These are my favorite blancos...

For reposados, my favorites are El Tesoro, Clase Azul and Hacienda del la Flor (old tall bottle).

For anejos, my favorites are Don Julio, El Tesoro and Penca Azul.

For extra anejos, my favorites are Don Fulano Imperial (#1 tequila), Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia (pre 2005 bottles only), Don Julio 1942 (vanilla bomb) and Arette Gran Classe (hard to find).

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Wow, beat me by a few minutes -- I was going to say the same -- Patron is getting to be ridiculously priced -- Casa Noble is usually $15-20 less and a better tequila.

Tenoch is a nice, reasonably priced tequila and comes in a cool stoneware bottle.

I also have some Cuervo Family Reserve that is excellent.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I like silvers, but prefer anejos, especially el tesoro and patron.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

The wife pretty much won't drink anything but Patron Silver, so I rarely drink anything but that lately....not that I'm complaining!

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I prefer the silvers, I feel the Agave can get lost in the oak...

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I agree about the agave, but the better anejos to me just have that nice balance between agave and the oaky vanilla flavors that come from the aging. It's just like cigars, plenty of room for different tastes.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Currently enjoying the silver Tequilas, I enjoy thier pure Agave flavor.

Currently in my bar, if thats what you want to call it.

Milagro Silver
Milagro Repasado
Cabbo Silver
1921 Silver

finished a bottle of Patron silver recently, it didnt last long,

I like to start out with Tequlia and OJ, and with each drink adding less OJ, until I'm sipping it straight. Thats a good night!

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I can't do tequila.. i never remember anything the next morning :al

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Regular tequila fave is Don Julio Anejo.

If you want to try something different for sipping with a cigar, the Patron XO Cafe is pretty interesting. I have turned several BOTLs onto it and most of them seem to like it with a cigar as well. Sweet taste, not a typical tequila flavor.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Ah, very nice thread! I love tequila and really appreciate getting some hints on what to look for when I go to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico in April next year.

I usually prefer reposados, añejos are often too sweet and smooth to me. One of my favourites is Don Julio but Patron is also nice.

Had some of this tonight... pretty good... paired well with a PLPC over ice...

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

My favorites are the Paton and Don Julio Anejo. I was gifted a bottle of Trago Resposado that has a lot of spice and is much drier than the anejo.

I just tried Patron silver last weekend and found it to be a lot harsher in comparison to the anejos.

Would like to hear some recommendations on some nice anejos that are less than Patron/Don Julio if you have any.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Forgop,

Try DOn Eduardo or Quervo 1800...

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

How much do those set you back? The Patron/Don Julio are around $50/bottle here.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

You could get the 1800 for about 25... it's very smooth... are you drinking it straight or mixed? Silver, IMO should be the smoothest in any brand...

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

The 1800 silver is my "yard tequila"... lol...

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I like to drink it neat.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Try the 1800 Silver... It has a good agave taste and won't put you in the poor house... Sauza is good if you are mixing and don't want to be broke...

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I love Tres Generation Anejo! Keep it cold and drinks as smooth as any tequila I have ever had and I have had more than my fair share.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Just added to the must try list... ;)

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I am not a huge Tequila fan, but have amassed around 15+ bottles of high end stuff. My parents live in Mexico 4+ months a year and they bring me back stuff. I have family in Austin and I just love to shop at Spec's...

Some recent purchase of less known Tequilas worth picking up:

El Noble

Espolon

Fina Estampa

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Ah Jalisco! Tequila capital of the world. I've made 9 trips to Puerto Vallarta and looking forward to number 10. You have to go to Andales in the romantic zone when you get there.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I picked a bottle of this up last night for 20$ (El Mayor Blanco)... That is a pretty good deal for 100% De Agave, maybe it was marked wrong...

http://www.tequila.net/images/storie...1185507907.jpg

I will post my thoughts about it after I have some tonight... :D

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Not a head turner at all, though the 100 Anos Blanco isn't bad at all on the cheap. I usually prefer my drinks on the rocks. After I'm done with this I'll be anticipating a better purchase off the higher shelf.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

So it looks as through the wife and I will be headed down to Mexico next March. Would most of you really stick to the standards (ie Patron, Don Julio) or should I be looking for something more local and exotic? We'll be at the new Secrets Maroma resort in Cancun which boast top shelf liquors.

Side note: The new place also boast a cigar bar I'll be excited to check out.



I'm open to all suggestions since I'm an admitted novice when it comes to Tequila.

thx

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I'd go for the local and exotic.... My thoughts are "Why drink the same stuff I can get at home?"

Local tequila and cigar bar? Sounds GREAT!!!

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Currently at home I have Gran Centenario Plata and Reposado and the Sauza Hornitos Reposado.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I've had both the Reposado and the Anejo. I liked them better then some of the bigger names that have been mentioned already and I will continue to buy the Anejo. IMHO this is not a mixing tequila. It's a straight up sipping tequila.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I am with you... I prefer Tequila straight but do mix from time to time... I tend to use less pricey stuff for mixing...

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

<-----

I think this stuff is around 500 a bottle. Patron Burdeos - an additional aging step in Bordeaux barrels. If I ever get a new job that has a signing bonus, maybe I will pick up one of these.

I prefer Patron: Anejo > Reposado > Silver

I also recommend Tezon - this stuff is really good. Nice and smooth.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Finally, I got to try this stuff... Made a quick margarita...

1 lime
3/4 oz water
1.5 oz tequila
1 oz agave nectar

Pretty good...

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I picked some of this up last Friday night and mixed up some Tequila Sunrises for the wife and I. Pretty tasty actually, and I like the bottle for something different on the shelf.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Very disappointed when I found this thread.. wrong kind of Tequila!

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

My personal favorite is Patrón Silver, but I like Herradura Añejo too.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

:ss

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

Makes a great Paloma: 1/2 can Fresca some lime slices and a shot and a 1/2 of tequila over lots of ice...

:)

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

If you like sipping Tequila, you should try and locate a bottle of El Chamuco - one of the smoothest I've ever tried.

Re: Tequila Thread!!!1
 

I'll keep an eye out for it...
