All Anejo unless noted
L-R: Revoluccion, Adictivo, Don Romeo, Casa Noble, Tesoro reposado, Cuervo Reserva da Familia, Oro Azul reposado, Esperanto, Don Malaquias, Solento

Surprises
Adictivo - aged in French Sherry barrels. So sweet, so smooth
Solento - Somehow "made" here in Encinitas, worth a purchase

That's awesome. I just got back into drinking tequila but I just drink low to mid tier stuff.

went to TJ's on the way home from the beach today and they were out of mezcal. So bummed

My father in law drinks Jose. I always try to buy him better stuff but he says he likes it and prefers Jose gold for the taste to price ratio. I've woken up with some really bad hangovers after family parties.

What the fuck is with all the worms, snakes and sh!t like that inside some bottles? Just some macho thing or does it add flavor of the desert to every sip? :shrug:

Eh, I know what I know, but there's more that I don't know. El Tesoro is great, dunno much about the others.

Edit: And since I no longer and in the agave world for work, there's a lot I've forgotten.

You should not be drinking tequila made with a diffuser.

How'd that work out? Any wife swapping take place?

I like many, but am a big fan of Jimador for the cost/taste factor. No cringe, smoothe. Have converted a couple non believers who don’t even like tequila.
