these are the ones that stick out as price points
Very interesting angle / perspective on the information.
Thanks for your curiosity and thanks for sharing this with us!
Best value/likes! Thanks!
I was recently down in Yucatan in Mexico and I found a jewel when it comes to Tequila, this one was wonderful, I’m a tequila enthusiast myself and I dare to compare it with Don Julio! Check it out guys, it was called Amor Mio! http://boutiquemexico.com/amor-mio-tequila-a-drink-of-tradition-and-culture/
I just had some Amor Mio and it was excellent! I laughed at my BIL for carefully doling some out to us until I tasted it. Now I know why he was so stingy with it. lol
Same here. I asked for their best sipping Tequila and we were served Amor Mio. Wow! My wife an I were both blown away. I expected a huge price tag, but they only charged us about $8USD per glass.
First thing I did when I came back: Ordered a bottle!
Gran Cava Oro extra Enejo was the best I’ve ever tasted in my life….you can only find it in Mexico
Not on your list is Esperanto. I have a 250 ml bottle of Esperanto Reposado, (at lest 10 years old). It is expensive online but how sure how to sell it. Is it legal to privately sell tequila in Michigan?
Great list here. It’s an excellent resource for when you’ve got a craving for a good tequila! Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m gonna have to try a couple of these myself.
excelente
What are the chances that you folks would be interested in doing an update comparison for this list? Maintain these present existing lists and graphs, then compile the same info. currently. I would expect that it would be interesting to reflect possible shifts – it’s been a year and a half already, mas o menos! I’ve previously noticed interesting overlay or double graphs that were great for delineating changing values. What cha think?
I believe that I have observed some significant price point shifting. Surprisingly a downward trend in pricing for some. Do not know if that is due to a reflection of: quality, demand, manufacturing changes, or chasing or positioning for a more advantageous position for market share?
Also in the mix is of course the rather significant downward slide in value of the Peso vs. the Dollar, as well.
Your thoughts???
I agree with you that an update for 2016 would be a worthwhile project for us. Once we find the time we can export the data once again, and then compare the changes.
It seems the list is missing any items from Sauza. Sauza Hornitos is easy drinking, decent punch to it and has little afterburn.
Says a Conmemorativo has a bit more pop to it and very drinkable too.
Hornitos Black Barrel (Etiqueta Negra) is a bold, more flavored and a new favorite
All are reasonably priced and steady
Another new fave that is very smooth, lightly flavored and unheavy- handed is Don Julio Luxe. It is platinum or “cristalino” and is sippable. Good stuff all!!
Those “likes” mean absolutely NOTHING. Most people choose their tequilas based on branding and marketing.
Absolutely. I’m surprised (but not for this very reason) that Patron is anywhere on this list. But there is truth to: To each their own.
Only looked this list up because I decided to buy El Jimador blanco and give it a shot. Its absolutely horrible, I had to see how low it ranked and I’m not surprised its near the bottom. I might dump it down the sink. It has a sour spicy bite to it. Doesnt mix well with anything and almost impossible to drink straight. Going back to Espolon or Sauza
Has anyone heard of a brand named
A-HA Toro? The reposado bottle is a weird shape like a boat with an aluminum knob lid and aluminum plates. It was a strong flavour but an incredible taste. No one sells it in the USA or Canada.
Yes, you can see it here: https://www.tequilamatchmaker.com/brands/554-aha-toro
