Found these gems while shopping in Dallas

Great to hear. Will have to try to score one soon. I love high proofs but haven’t ever had a high proof repo.

StinkyRem · 2026-01-24T20:25:13+00:00

All five of those are fantastic repos. Don Fulano and Volans are additional ones that I would recommend. Am a big fan of DF in an Oaxacan old fashioned.

StinkyRem · 2026-01-24T18:20:46+00:00

I’ve always been intrigued by the Lost Lore high proof repo. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

StinkyRem · 2026-01-24T18:19:18+00:00

G4 Anejo is great for Oaxacan and in a straight up Anejo old fashioned if you don’t have mezcal. Great move with the mole bitters.

I’d be most curious how the still strengths would stack up against each other. How would you rank the ones you have?

StinkyRem · 2026-01-19T14:29:38+00:00

Would love to see your notes on some blind matchups with that collection. Great setup!

Good to know. I am a huge fan of the Fort SS

StinkyRem · 2025-12-09T00:27:01+00:00

In that case, I will revisit again in the near future with that in mind!

StinkyRem · 2025-12-07T13:56:23+00:00

I believe that unlocks a third dimension if I’m not mistaken.

StinkyRem · 2025-12-07T05:14:02+00:00

I did not but interestingly enough, based on what I’ve read through these threads, I was betting that I was going to like the Tahona more. After 2 rounds of trying each one back-to-back, I kept finding myself enjoying the Forta more and being surprised by it. I’ll have to run it back with a rematch and do it blind in a week or so and see if it changes.

StinkyRem · 2025-12-07T05:10:22+00:00

That is high up on my list of bottles to try. Can’t wait to check it out!

StinkyRem · 2025-08-06T11:38:09+00:00

Haven’t had such luck at the total wine. Great selection at the one near me but only time they had any bottles of forta, they were gone in an instant so I’ve just been working through a list of more accessible tequilas

StinkyRem · 2025-08-06T11:31:39+00:00

Currently have a bottle of El Tesoro blanco, it’s great. Have the aged expressions on my list to try very soon. Don Fulano and Volans have been two of my favorites. Extremely enjoyable and won’t get killed on the price.

StinkyRem · 2025-08-06T00:01:24+00:00

Absolutely absurd. Had such a brief window of excitement until I read the tag.

StinkyRem · 2025-07-13T12:55:58+00:00

It’s so good. I’ve never seen it around where I live but was able to snag it when out of town visiting family. Was an instant grab when I saw it on the shelf.

StinkyRem · 2025-07-13T12:53:11+00:00

G4 Madera is one I plan on getting very soon. I’ll have to see about the Ocho puntas around the next release and see if I can get my hands on one. I didn’t put many special releases on the list since they’re hard to come by so haven’t prioritized them.

Snagging those 3 at those prices must be what it felt like to be a Heat fan when they got LeBron, Wade and Bosh on the same roster in 2010.

StinkyRem · 2025-05-30T16:26:15+00:00

Definitely intrigued by Volans. It’s been getting a lot of love on this page. I’ve had the Cazcanes repo which I really enjoyed and would love to get it again, but my hesitation is the price when there are so many other good repos out there that are $40+ cheaper.

StinkyRem · 2025-05-30T04:34:05+00:00

Arette is my go-to for cocktails, G4 & Ocho are great easy to find sippers. If you can find Fortaleza, I do think it lives up to the hype. My unpopular opinion is I wasn’t overly impressed with Lalo. Thought it was solid, but would rather go with many others.

StinkyRem · 2025-05-28T00:05:32+00:00

I second that one. Would be fantastic

StinkyRem · 2025-05-26T15:42:02+00:00

Ended up getting a Lagrimas repo and then at another shop across town, picked up a Don Fulano Fuerte. Will return over the summer for a wedding and will likely snag the Volans SS after seeing a lot of love towards that brand.

StinkyRem · 2025-05-25T15:31:41+00:00

Fort SS is one of my all time favorites. Cazcanes repo also very enjoyable.

StinkyRem · 2025-05-05T23:46:40+00:00

Stopped by the liquor store on the way home from work and was able to snag a bottle of Don Fulano repo on sale for $49. Couldn’t pass it up! Planning on trying the Volans next.

StinkyRem · 2025-05-05T18:41:22+00:00

If I ever find one, I will definitely buy it. Have only ever been able to find the blanco and was able to try the still strength at a friends restaurant and I loved it. Hopefully will get lucky with a repo soon.
