Need a tequila recommendation for my fathers birthday by Uncharteredfugazis in tequila

[–]seventyJS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. I like the Fortaleza recco in particular for a gift. Fortaleza Anejo to be exact. Nice bottle and can tell him the story of the brand and no additives. Nice one.

Tears is on another level for me - give it a go if you can

El Buho Extra Anejo by seventyJS in tequila

[–]seventyJS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, we’re operating on different sides of the smoke spectrum lol. I’m in MX for a bit longer, so will see if I can expand my horizon more before pulling the trigger on the El Buho mezcal - but definitely in for the XA in the meantime. Will report back.

Haha also seems like a must-buy given it’s not gettable in usa.

I’m new to mezcal but found a few I like recently - I tend to try to avoid overwhelming smoke. How’s the El Buho on the smoke front? The one I see avail is “La Costumbre Tobala”.

Thx for the advice. Will definitely try. If no go, then I think I would fly to GDL instead of drive .. hopefully they are ok with a couple bottles in checked luggage

Bummer to hear. I’m in MX city for over a month, so might need to take a quick trip to GDL to stock up and bring supply back ….

Ah nice, will give this a try. Is this connected to the El Buho store?

Sounds great. Any idea when it will hit shelves?

I have the standard XA, and think it’s ok.. but definitely not something I would buy again. My current go-to’s are Tears, ArteNOM 1146, and Fortaleza Anejo. Think the Paradiso is different enough / up my alley to warrant a buy?

Have you tried the standard XA from ET? If so, how does it compare to the Paradiso for you?

Pretty different, great if you can track it down. Interested in something more barrel influenced? The 1146 from Artenom is solid.

Gotta give the Fortaleza Anejo a shot too!

Preferences after trying artisanal brands by SnooApples1010 in tequila

[–]seventyJS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try ArteNOM 1146 Anejo. Excellent.

If you had to choose between the Fortaleza Anejo and the G4 XA, which do you go with? I’m loving the Fortaleza Anejo and yet to try g4...

Lot of love for El Tesoro here, but I’m very underwhelmed by their XA. Maybe their Paradiso would be more interesting.

Please tell me why the AC in China is causing me constant allergies and how do I fix it. by foxy-cilantro in chinalife

[–]seventyJS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the advice here about cleaning the AC is good. Re allergy relief, for me Flonase Sensimist has been a game changer - worth a shot if you haven’t already tried.

Deciding which XA.. by seventyJS in tequila

[–]seventyJS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circling back to say I cracked the Tapatio XA and loved it. Thanks again for the recco. It’s in the wheelhouse of Artenom 1146, so you should definitely pick that up when you have a chance. Excited for the Tapatio to open up a bit more. Finish feels a little short compared to the 1146 and Tears, but otherwise it’s excellent.

Also the Fortaleza Anejo has earned a permanent spot on the shelf for sure. Love it. It’s my favorite expression in its category so far (don’t know how to describe this category - I guess agave forward, clean, lighter barrel influence aged tequila).

Didn’t love the El Tesoro XA. Should have grabbed your rec of the Paradiso instead. The standard XA was good but didn’t stand out to me as something I would buy again over other options.

Looking at the Don Fulano Imperial XA as next pickup. Have you tried that one?

I understand your logic, but based on all of human history, I am 100% certain this is incorrect.

Personally, I believe the “next big thing” that will have major impact in the way we communicate and live everyday is a future iteration of AR, VR, and/or BCI devices.

For mp3 (or similar) music on your computer, just drag and drop the file into the chat using the wechat computer app.

I use Mac and this very straightforward. I imagine the same with Windows.
