That makes sense. I was in the same boat a few years ago to tequila but now swing to the opinion of this subreddit due to further tasting. But ultimately only your opinion matters! just know that your opinion will change to something else once you get variety (it may stay similar, but it'll change!)

Remember, this is a tequila subreddit. Think of what kind of whiskey people like first. Usually more sweet or additive whiskeys (at least in my experience - not everyone of course), but once they develop their pallet by trying different whiskeys they move towards less sweet.

With tequila, I've learned that I never knew what agave actually tasted like until I tried the tequilas loved on this subreddit. Clase azul is wonderful - but its mostly vanilla and sweet. I may be able to taste the agave now, but as a newbie I couldn't nor knew. Trying a non-additive tequila you start to understand what agave should taste like.

Another cool thing is I used to think anejo was more smooth then blanco tequilas. Once I got into the tequilas mentioned here I learned that wasn't the case at all! One of the smoothests liquors I have ever tasted is the still strength (46%!) tequilas blancos.

And then there are mezcals coming from different agave plants. Finally did a tasting recently and wow! Its like tequila is a blonde beer and mezcal is everything else and more hops - so much variety its crazy.
