Not much to say, mixto, diffuser, additives, headaches. Not a bad nose, harsh flavoring

In had forgotten that people bought this stuff. My dad bought this and thought it was “good tequila “. Aroma is artificial with strong alcohol. Taste is superficial without much flavor. Finish is non existent. I had thought that JC would burn and be bad but really it was wimpy and flavorless.

One sniff and it took me back to college years, I couldn’t finish the shot.

Aroma of alcohol and maybe solvent. Has the alcohol and very medicinal Flavor. There is no agave left in either aroma or flavor. Harsh finish that doesn't last long, which is fortunate. A mixto and diffuser made.

I took this from a friend's bar with the promise to replace it with some real tequila. I didn't pour it out right away, but I should have. I took a sip and once it was in my mouth I couldn't swallow it, so spit it back into the sample glass. The nose isn't appealing, the taste isn't appealing and well you get the idea. Not recommended. Of over 420 tequilas I have rated in the app this is the bottom of the barrel as far as taste and quality.

I don't think I could even put this in a frozen fruity margarita anymore. Let Jay Leno put it in his gas tank.

This is the cheap tequila you find behind the bar literally everywhere in the UK. Posing as the "higher quality" tequila it's been labeled Especial Gold for the same reason Halfords sells racing stripes for the Nissan Micra: to allow some poor schmuck to feel better about their lot in life and order the "upgrade." It's cheap. It's the absolute bottom end of drinkable. It's everywhere. If I'm in a pub and it's between this and cheap whiskey... I'll have two shots on ice please. However, lets not kid ourselves. This is crap for roving bands of track suits to have shots before closing time and döner kebabs. "Hey mate.. you're a Yank. Isn't the good stuff supposed to have a worm in it?" Face. In. Palm.

I didn't seem to mind about 20 years ago but I actually spit it out on the most recent attempt.

it's my opinion that this is possibly the best overall tequila on the market. It's not by any means a top shelf tequila, but it is usable in any situation. It is drinkable neet or on ice, but shines best as a mixer. It goes well in anything you can imagine and believe me I hace put it I'm many, many things even my kombucha. It also blends well in drinks like margaritas when mixed with other tequila. (not all tequilas play well with each other) It's also cheap by comparison to most others. And when you have guests that are not refined tequila drinkers and just want to do shots it's perfect to keep them out of the good stuff.

Tastes of strong alcohol and agave. Has a petrol note to it. You get what you pay for.

Is it really a tequila? Smells and tastes purely of alcohol. Nothing else in there. I could drink it as a party shot, provided i have already drunk something else before. Do not mix, it will ruin a cocktail.

Copper on the nose. Burnt iron on the palate. Nothing but an unwelcoming pepper on the finish. I went in with an open mind, but went out with essentially the same opinion as everyone else: this is not tequila.

I come to sampling this strictly out of curiosity of what the world's best selling mixto tastes like.
