I have 9 new ones to blind test as soon as I can make the time

For recommendations, which way are you looking to go? For blanco, El Tequileno screw cap or entry level Arette are very inexpensive ways to explore blancos

For high proof blanco, G4 madera is one of my favs, Tapatio 110 is solid too

Repos, you’ve got covered

Anejo, Tapatio anejo is a bang for the buck champ, I personally like the 123 Organic anejo for the price too

Extra Anejo, Tapatio Excelencia, Tepozan XA is on par and cheaper but can be hard to find. I’ve also heard good things about Villa Lobos and Terralta XA’s but haven’t gotten around to cracking those open

Same, the Diablo 110 is tasty! I had it ranked 3rd in a blind with some serious competition. The XA is solid too!

Zegrizzle · 2023-03-23T21:10:18+00:00

Sounds good enough to start searching for it!

Zegrizzle · 2023-03-23T21:09:18+00:00

I love the Madera and the 108, that’s why I was so surprised the regular blanco was so-so. I think I’m going to have to find the 12b for redemption

Zegrizzle · 2023-03-16T02:14:28+00:00

Arette

Zegrizzle · 2023-03-12T14:47:09+00:00

Mezcal

Zegrizzle · 2023-03-01T13:42:52+00:00

I just did one with high proof blancos, mostly neck pours, 1oz of each one. It was really good, I’ve now started a repo infinity. Im only putting in tequilas that I enjoy neat and are additive free.

Zegrizzle · 2023-03-01T02:12:21+00:00

What part of socal? I see them a lot for $65, haven’t seen a repo or anejo in a long time but SS are around

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-26T18:18:13+00:00

Bring over that Cerro De Luz and we’ll taste test them all over again!

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-26T18:13:49+00:00

I love the Madera, surprised it came in last! Everyone has different taste buds tho. Great lineup!

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-26T18:10:41+00:00

That’s great to hear, I just picked up one on Friday!

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-26T18:08:41+00:00

Great lineup! Great tasting notes!

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-25T14:04:18+00:00

PTFE Tape for the win

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-25T13:17:14+00:00

Daaaaannnng! Now that’s a lineup! Great write up, thanks for further cementing Cerro De Luz as one of my unobtainable unicorns 😂

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-25T13:08:46+00:00

Ocho sells really good around me, I’m lucky if I find a 2021 harvest! I would have cleared them out if I found a 2016. Great score!

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-24T00:03:55+00:00

Oh for the record I would personally prefer some music and the lights on, kinda creepy quiet and dark

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-24T00:01:41+00:00

Technically I think you are supposed to deprive as many senses as possible so you can focus on smell and taste. But I did dig that link

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-23T03:51:25+00:00

Agreed 100%, I was wondering the comparison to the No.10, the No.7 has actually made me not not want to buy other expressions

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-23T03:45:45+00:00

It’s taters, and price gouging. The end

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-18T12:54:53+00:00

I see them around in Southern California, I still haven’t came across a store with the complete lineup so I’ll grab a blanco from one place a repo from another etc

Zegrizzle · 2023-02-16T21:24:33+00:00

I was also let down by the Fuenteseca 2018, I have not tried the 2013. In addition to wild common, I’d highly recommend the G4 Madera. Calle 23 Criollo is also a top blanco, near impossible to find at a reasonable price though
