Tequila Reviews

Tequila often gets a bad reputation because of the parties in our younger years when cheap tequila was poured, one shot after another. Many of these experiences turn the drinker away from tequila forever and I want to know which tequilas you think are the best to change this perception and reintroduce people to this often well-crafted distilled...

1800 Tequila released a 100 proof blanco in April of 2008. 1800 Select Silver Tequila has found a nice balance of high alcohol content and smooth, silver tequila that is impressive, mixable and a nice addition to the brand's portfolio.

Cabo Wabo Tequila is a very popular brand that is backed by Sammy Hagar, the famous rock musician of Van Halen fame. The brand is priced and marketed as a premium tequila, but I have found that in comparison the blanco is mediocre.

The name Don Julio tags a portfolio of 100% blue agave tequilas with a taste for everyone, from the light sweetness of its Blanco to its caramel 1942 Añejo. The matter of favorites among the line is one of personal choice; some really enjoy the distinct pepper kick of the Real and 1942 while the smooth sipping Añejo is perfect for others.
