Oro de Lidia Tequila - What a Fantastic Find - Delicious, Well Made & Value Priced.

comes in all 4 expressions. Not to be confused with Toro de Lidia another brand
made at the same distillery. It is made at Rivesca SA de CV- NOM- 1531, which is
located in the
Gran Cava de Oro Plata - Way Too Sweet
Once taste is all it takes. Although the aromas are good, one sip is really all
you need. Once you take that first sip you'll realize, that you better really,
really like overly sweet, artificial tasting sugary tequila, with a lingering
sweet aftertaste or you just screwed up buying this
AVION Tequila - Tasty & Solid- It's the "Real" Thing
You may have seen Avion Tequila highlighted on the HBO show 'Entourage', and
hopefully by now you know that it is a real tequila. It may not be a top world
class bold tequila, but it's real. According to Creator Ken Austin, it was
around before the TV show. It
t1 Selecto Blanco - Expertly Made for Agave Lovers
Master distiller and brand owner German Gonzalez' t1 Selecto is delicious and
full of agave. It is one of my favorite blancos, and that is saying a lot. This
blanco has guts, as it's slightly over-proofed (43% abv/86 proof) that German
made for his own taste and for real
Calle 23 Tequila - Possibly The Best Quality You Can Buy For The Price
Calle 23 (pronounced ‘Kai-Yay’) is the brainchild of Sophie Decobecq, a

the research center

Casamigos Tequila - Artificially Sweet and Overpriced- Save Your Money
Casamigos has George Clooney and Rande Gerber behind it, and they have a great
advertising campaign filled with funny commercials and cool and creative social
media. This made multitudes of people run out and buy it, and at first I was
one. Owned by George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike
PASOTE TEQUILA - Traditionally Made- Bold & Delicious. Felipe did it again!!
Pasote (pronounced pa-so-te) is a traditionally made Tequila. Pasote is named
for the fierce spirit of Aztec warriors and this new line includes Blanco,
Reposado and Anejo tequilas. Let me say that again....Pasote is a REAL
traditionally made tequila. This is great news and I am very excited about
Tres Culturas - a VERY decent value brand that may not be around for long- so get them while you can.
Tres Cultures is a solid, decent value brand that I believe is on a closeout. It
is not easy getting any information on this brand. It went from a restaurant
'house brand' to public sale from the distillery, but now there isn't even
working website for the brand. There's a
5 “Aged” Tequilas Everyone Needs to Experience
Once again I was asked by Dave Miller's Mexico to do a Best of 5 Tequila List
As I mentioned before on my Top 5 Blanco List for Dave Miller's Mexico, I really
do get sick to my stomach when I see these ridiculous sponsored paid, or
influenced "Best Tequila

for

QUI is not for me
Qui extra anejo is another one of those clear filtered aged tequilas, that for
the most part, has lost some of it's soul in the process. I just don't think
it's anything special, and I'd rather spend $30-40 more for the real thing. I've
read a few positive reviews, but
