Last year was a busy time in the tequila world. Here's what we expect to see in 2020, and beyond.
VinePair asked bartenders around the country which bottles and brands aren’t getting the love they deserve.
Blind tastings are the best way to find out what you really like, free of marketing hype, bias, and previous experiences. They also give you the opportunity to experience tequila in a whole new way—using only your senses.
This video produced by Mexican Tequila company, Tequilla Arette, takes you behind the scenes as they skillfully produce the alcohol. The cinematography and alluring voiceover expose a side of tequila you've most likely never seen or imagined.
Some people, when talking about essential bottles for a well-stocked bar, leave out tequila (unlike, say, bourbon or scotch). Some people think that the only thing tequila is good for is making margaritas. Some people are wrong.
This year the list is peppered with 100% agave brands that talk of terroir, single estates and tahona wheels. Now recognised selling points, these would have been confusion points in years gone by.

First impression - tastes a bit thin. Flavour of grass and earth. Some agave. I get more smoke over pepper. Alcohol aroma at pouring and burn finish. Not long lasting. Not terrible..... But not blown away. Ok value at $46 at the Legacy Liquorstore in Vancouver. But can get better for cheaper. Heavy alcohol aftertaste (and possibly mediciney) that I am not used to among premium tequilas. A campfire sipper? In desperation only. Thoughts are that they are not getting enough flavour out of this that they could (high pressure autoclave) Aroma on the empty glass test was actually pretty good. Second impression.... Nothing wrong with it... But thin aroma and flavour. Really picking up that earthy flavour which I do appreciate. Day 2..... Nope. Just not feeling this one Dawg..... Has been relegated to "Margaritaville".
