Ahhh Yeeee.... Tequila!

[rabbgp]

In an effort to broaden my libation palate I have started to explore the wonderful world of tequila. But, I am a babe in the woods. I know about the basics: blanco, oro, resposasdo, anejo, and extra anejo. And I know the most popular brands, Jose C, Patron, etc. But just as BOTL has expanded my knowledge of cigars exponentially, I am looking for some education, and opinions from the brothers here. For what it is worth I like a full bodied cigar, and JD on the rocks so I will probably lean towards a fine tequila with full flavor and a little bite.

Any suggestions?

[Greg]

I like Oro Azul Reposado :thumbsup:

 

[rabbgp]

As I mentioned I am a babe here, what is Hc7?

ROFLMAO, damn I read tequila but had rum on the mind. OK, forget my post, I'm gonna go have some RUM then!

Thats cool. Maybe I will simultaneously explore rum and Tequila!!!

I like me some El Jimador. Has got to be one of my favorites. BTW Jose C is crap, but it does the trick.

HC7 - Cuban Rum, but you may also want to look at Ron Z 23 year old if you're gonna look at rum, or Zaya or even Appleton Estate "Extra". But I digress, this is a tequila post, not rum.

Kept in the freezer, I like the Hornitos as a daily.

These boys make some of the smoothest, I've ever had

Like the Padron, expecialy the silver. Try them at different temps, they change quite a bit. I like frozen silver with a full body smoke, or room temp gold over ice and let it melt out a bit with a med-full smoke.

One of my very early forays into cigars was the Suaza Hornitos by Drew Estates. Thought it was pretty good back then. Wonder how the two would pair up?

I have never been big on Tequila, but every now and then I do a couple of shots of the Anejo.

At the end of my drinking career I was heavy in to tequilla. Stick with 100% agave - ONLY! Here are my old pals in order ($17-$50 range)

Chinaco Reposado (Mothers milk)

Siete Luguas Reposado and Silver (This was Patron before it was Patron! Then Patron moved to huge mass production facitlity - SL WAY better in my opinion)

El Tesoro Anejo and Silver

Corzo Reposado

Don Eduardo Anejo

Cazadores Silver and Reposado

Inexpensive 100% agave for margaritas - Pueblo Viejo and Cuervo Traditional!

Mi dos centavos...

I agree with vorr64. Sauza Hornitos is my go-to tequila. Unfortunately, I can't speak with much experience on the high-end stuff.

I like tequila but tequila doesn't like me. However, the Don Julio 1942 rocks!
