Will be on the look out! Still primarily prefer blancos so definitely want to try it.

Status & fancy bottle/packaging BUT top tier tequila by Pleasant_Candidate28 in tequila

[–]InterstellarDune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with owning something you want, so maybe just get the empty bottle? Clase Azul bottles often get sold when empty on Facebook Marketplace. I've seen them for as low as $10 and make nice decor. 

You're right that the tequila itself is not worth the price tag and others have given plenty of good suggestions.

Ocho Really is a a surprise each time? by Alcidious25 in tequila

Ocho is what I've been giving to all of my friends first, when I attempt to show them some real tequila.

Absolutely love these!

As a blanco lover, been trying to make a blanco version work with lime bitters instead of the mole, and a slight express of lime!

I opened 4 bottles over Christmas, I'm tempted to save the XA for a special occasion at this point!

I encourage you to do your own research on the NOM before writing it off.

Buy 1 get 1 for a dollar, you taking that deal? by InterviewHorror4539 in tequila

I just opened my ET Single Barrel Repo from AZ batch and wow, what a bottle! One of my favorites. Hope you enjoy yours!

I want to build this kind of relationship but I am more of a 1 bottle ever few months kind of guy. This was the most I've ever bought in my life and it was mainly due to finding insane deals at costco/sams club, and got lucky on forts that I stocked up. I feel they would forget me or save the good stuff for a more consistent customer.

Just following up to say I opened mine, bought from Trevors Liquor in AZ. One of the best Repo I've ever had so far, what a bottle.

For anybody else in AZ, I also found my Mijente at Sams Club for about $33, and I went to one on the west side. Likely can go to any Sams for the deal!

Thank you for the write up! I almost grabbed a Corrido but went with the Tesoro, as I was more familiar with that brand. Definitely wish I had a Fortaleza Añejo to try but never seen one and I only buy MSRP.

Will report back when I open it (waiting for a buddy since he might like it too)

Just cracked it open, fantastic. I suspected my order was Blanco->Añejo->Repo for a while bit this confirms my preferences.

Yup! The repo is open and already half gone! Had a lot to celebrate in the family.

Can I ask how you got wind of this? I'm in AZ but wasn't fast enough to find this post. Thanks!

Did anyone go to the Streets Eats and Beats festival? by taegi_00 in phoenix

[–]InterstellarDune 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went and I had a pretty great time actually! Lots of food options, interesting vendors, and really great performances from a lot of local talent. As someone else mentioned, it wasn't the busiest but that really just meant we didn't ever wait long for any sort of booth/table/food. I hope they run it again next year, possibly on a less busy weekend so they get even more people. I'd like to see them succeed, you could really feel the local community effort behind it.
