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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Just added to the must try list...

30-30 Anejo is delicious. I also have a tasty bottle of Revolution resposado a buddy of mine brought back from Mexico that I have never seen in the US.

My wife really, really likes the Patron XO Coffee -- very nice flavor. If you like Kaluha, then you will love this, much better flavor, and more alcohol!

I prefer Don Julion Anejo, Herradura Anejo, or for special occaisions Don Julio 1942 Anejo. For extra special occaisons I like Patron Gran Burdeos.

Actually, I am not picky -- as long as it is 100% de Agave -- I will drink Blanco, Reposado, or Anejo. I have enjoyed Patron, Coralejo, and Cazadores -- all good Tequilas.

I also agree with a previous poster -- the best way is to use a brandy snifter. No salt. No lime. No ice.

I haven't seen one that is not. Now, Mezcal is a whole new ballgame and is nasty, even the "super premium" stuff my brother-out-law brought back from Mexico. He seemed to like it THERE, but I guess when you drink enough while in Mexico, anything tastes good after a certain point

There are 3 new tequilas to be made here in Bay Area, can't wait to see what locals can do with the agave plant, 2 of them are some of the best distilleries in the world and so far everything they produced is at the top of the heap.

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.

SmokinApe · 10-18-2008, 08:27 PM

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

forgop · 10-29-2008, 06:31 PM

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.

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.

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...

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