You’re a very nice tequila, Don Fulano, and I know you’re going to find someone out there who loves you with their whole heart. It’s not you, it’s me.

Something different for vodka drinkers… a category of people who don’t want different things. What could go wrong?

“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” goes the old saying. Apparently it’s true with Tequila as well!
Overall Rating: ★★★
A reposado mezcal? They’re out there! On the basis of this bottle, I say there should be more. Not everyone agrees!
Overall Rating: ★★☆
You know what? It's been a while since we talked about something I think is fun. And Abasolo does “Fun” in spades.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
If you’re gunning for a great tequila, I’d say to set your sights higher. Still, this isn’t bad. Inexplicably, it isn’t bad.

Look, I get it: finding new niches for a product and staying competitive is hard. More than anything I want to reward trying something new. But is aging shit in bourbon barrels literally the only thing distillers feel they can try?

An Austrian Vodka masquerading as a Russian product? Boy, you're just full of surprises, aren't you, NEFT?
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Maybe it’s better if you never watched Game of Thrones. If so, you can fully enjoy the value of a heavily-discounted whisky without ever having to know the details of why the price fell like a rock.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
If it were cheaper, it would be mostly fine. But it isn’t, and I feel silly paying so much for a study in restraint.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Great in a margarita, and offers decent enough value, but it’s one of those tequilas that you won’t be in a rush to enjoy straight.

Evan Williams' White Label is most everything good about bourbon. It's buttery, sweet, cheap, and enjoyable enough to have every day. It's one-note, sure, but it's a good note.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
You have a right to be skeptical. The betting man would put George Clooney's side project tequila down as a flop. Surprisingly, this is quite good stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
As everyone goes gonzo for Japanese whisky, the market adjusts to provide supply to match demand. Yes: this is Japanese, and it is whisky, but it might not be what you expect.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
A "meh" product from a distillery that does pretty good work. Here, Espolon tries to gun for two flavor profiles at once and I don't think they pull it off.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
A long one for today, guys and gals, but I hope you'll indulge me. Avión is drinkable proof that positioning and branding is more than just fluff, as it can actually come to affect the taste of what ends up in your glass. And not in a wholly bad way.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Do you want to know a secret? Mellow Corn might be the absolute best spirit bargain out there. It's so surprising and so cheap that you might as well pick up a bottle even if you don't drink whisky. Overall Rating: ★★★
Sometimes what seems like a novel experiment turns out to be fairly underwhelming. Basically, this is the tequila equivalent of "Cool story, bro." Overall Rating: ★☆☆
A perfect case of evaluating a product on its own merits. On paper, this is utterly stupid. However, I'd rather have a glass of this than just about any other flagship Jim Beam offering. Overall Rating: ★★☆
Looking for a reposado that doesn't taste like an unappealing compromise? We've got the bottle for you in the Fortaleza. Overall Rating: ★★★
