Don Fulano Reposado Tequila

Don Fulano Reposado Tequila

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.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Tapatio Anejo Tequila

Tapatio Anejo Tequila

“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” goes the old saying. Apparently it’s true with Tequila as well!
Overall Rating: ★★★

Hijos de Villa Reposado Tequila

Hijos de Villa Reposado Tequila

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.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila

Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila

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: ★☆☆

Cazadores Reposado Tequila

Cazadores Reposado Tequila

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.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆


Riazul Tequila Anejo

Riazul Tequila Anejo

So, if you're convinced you can pretty much close your eyes and imagine what a tequila tastes like, have I got a curve ball for you.

Casamigos Blanco Tequila

Casamigos Blanco Tequila

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: ★★☆ 

Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila

Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila

Cuervo Gold: the spirit so bad it convinced multiple generations they don't like an entire category of liquor. Let's buckle in for a well-deserved hatchet job.

Espolón Blanco Tequila

Espolón Blanco Tequila

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: ★☆☆

Centenario Plata Tequila

Centenario Plata Tequila

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: ★☆☆

Hornitos Reposado

Hornitos Reposado

The reposado from Hornitos isn't a bad product, per se, but it's an underwhelming mixer I think can be partially explained by its production process.  Overall Rating: ★☆☆

El Silencio Espadín Mezcal

El Silencio Espadín Mezcal

Mezcal is pretty polarizing. If you've wanted to dip your toe into the water, the El Silencio black bottle is a good starting point, but it's certainly not for everyone.  Overall Rating: ★★☆

Don Felix Añejo Tequila

Don Felix Añejo Tequila

A stupendous tequila that most have never heard of. If you've never had a "good" tequila you could enjoy neat and want your mind blown, this should be a mandatory starting point.
