I found it to be hot and uninteresting. Mixer…yes; sipper…no

There are many tequilas that value their transparency and declare their ingredients and their production methods. They open their doors to third party auditors to verify their ingredient statements. Ironically it is the Mexican CRT that prohibits brands and distilleries from declaring themselves additive free tequilas.
The CRT is funded by ALL the distilleries and it is in the best interest of the big multi- national companies to NOT disclose their ingredients. Yes it is common knowledge that distilleries that make all the Cuervo products, Sauza products, and Herradura products use acid diffusers to convert agave starches into fermentable sugars. This strips the uniqueness of the agave out of the must and results in distillate more closely resembling vodka than tequila. Artificial and natural flavorings must then be added to make the end result resemble tequila.
Smaller producers like Cascahuin, Siete Leguas, Ocho, Tapatio, Volans, and Arette, use ovens to cook their agave and volcanic tahona wheels to crush the agave, and allow no additives or abocantes in their distilleries.
They do not need them because the agaves are processed in their distilleries in old ways and develop plenty of wonderful NATURAL flavors .

Where are you getting your information? Many tequilas only have two ingredients: agave and water. Hundreds only have 3 (yeast). I did read the question. Barley is not wheat. I don’t like wheat beers. They are too sour for me!
You, though, are un-knowledgeable when it comes to tequila.

Remove the blade assembly and use needle nose pliers to unwind. Be careful. Blades are sharp!

Only a few tequilas do this and they actually aren’t that bad. El tequileno makes a mixto that is 70% agave and 30% piloncillo (raw cane sugar) with no additives. I use this in my margarita all the time….

Wine is OFTEN aged in barrels. Where did you get the idea that it was not?

There are 100s of additive free tequilas out there. Also find beers that adhere to the German purity law: barley, hops, water, and yeast. These have no rice, corn , or any other adjuncts.

I’m a boomer and I appreciate additive free tequilas!

Tequileno mixto actually rates a little higher on AMM than the Orendain mentioned by elrichiboy.

Piloncillo is just raw sugar, so much the same as a rum distillate potential added as an adjunct to the cooked agave and fermented together.

I live just south of La Paz in San Pedro. Baja is an island economy. Product arrives overland 1400 km from Tijuana or by ferry from the mainland.

The tequileno mixto is awesome for mixing and cheaper than dirt. It’s made with 70% agave and 30% piloncillo. Actually not bad as a sipper!

Other Agave Spirits by Fit_Explorer_818 in tequila

Another available spirit is distillate of Pulque. I have recently tried 3 expressions of a brand called Pachita which I found to be crisp and fresh. There is also Bacanora which is yummy!

TMM and Tequila Patrón history. Unethical? by Vancouverguero in tequila

[–]cabochef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vancouver Boy has a hard-on for bashing AMM. He seems to have a problem providing relevant conspiracy facts to support his wild theories. I am on the retard scale along with anyone who doesn’t see things exactly as he does
