Really good expression. Overpriced.
An outstanding Reposado. I was surprised to find the barrel characteristics of the toasted Basil Hayden cask to be on full display. I found notes of marshmallow, pecan, salted caramel, cooked agave, floral notes, citrus, and pepper. A full bodied, rounded profile that really worked for me with the toasted barrel incorporating interesting flavors without overtaking the agave base.
My favorite of the Mundial collection. Great nose, vanilla bean, caramel, cooked agave, the flavor profile is cinnamon, honey, a little floral. A beautiful Reposado. A little pricey though.
Nice old school Añejo. Pleasant nose of vanilla and cinnamon. I do get agave and barrel notes. On the palate, delicious. Agave, vanilla and oak. Caramel. Chocolate and some pepper. Finish has nice viscosity.
This old school tequila is very tasty. Nice nose of sweet agave and floral aromas. On the palate sweet agave and floral. Slightly bitter on the finish
Nice barrel influence without going overboard. Enjoyed this anejo a bunch. There’s a reason El Tesoro is such a generational juggernaut!
Great nose, love how they incorporated the rye barrel, slightly bitter, some light sweetness not exactly for my palette but it is balanced. I think the accomplished what the wanted here. A nice gift for your rye drinkers
To help ease your shopping experience, we decided to see how well bottles $50 and under would perform against bottles $100 and over in the only fair way we know how. That’s right, we’re talking about a blind taste test!
Sorting through the options can be overwhelming, which is why we always opt to trust the experts. To get their take on a workhorse option, we asked bartenders to share with us their go-to tequilas.
The 12 finalists are tequilas that offer vibrant and varied aromas and flavors with good texture and a pleasing aftertaste.
Here's the reason for the añejo and extra añejo shortage that you probably didn't know was coming.
Tequila's success has created an enormous strain, imperiling the health and viability of the blue Weber agave on which tequila depends, as well as the farmers who grow it.
Lou cracks open one of the most rare and cherished tequilas made. Watch as he goes nuts tasting it.
In a "You Can't Take It With You" episode, Lou opens up a 70th Anniversary bottle of El Tesoro de Don Felipe Extra Añejo.
Lou Agave talks about why he likes El Tesoro products, including this añejo.
One hundred percent. The term seems straight forward enough. You see it listed on labels constantly. But in the case of 100 percent blue agave tequila, you shouldn’t be so sure.
My favorite of the Mundial lineup. Just wish it wasn’t so pricey.
