Patron has never treated me badly..... I've treated it pretty badly, but it's always been good to me... :devil:

That's it! With all this talk about rum and tequila, i'm going home to hit the bottle. Gonna pick up a bottle of Sauza for the wifey's margeritas and i'm goin straight to the appletons and diet.

Hi there, I run tequilagringo.com. Naturally, there are some good recommendations there for you to check out.

Based on what you wrote, I'd say you should look at the anejo's (just click "best anejos"). They pick up a lot of flavor from the barrel that I bet would interest you. I'd also say Jetexas' list was a pretty good place to start too.

If you don't feel like going over there - start with Casa Noble Anejo and Don Julio 1921 (they're expensive, but man, they're so very good).

Enjoy!

Thanks Tequilla Gringo! You should go introduce yourself in the introductions thread.

And Welcome!

So, last night I tried a double Patron Anejo on the rocks with salt on the rim and several lime wedges. Sorta like the the worlds strongest Margarita. Paired it with a fantastic grilled Sea Bass. Great meal. The drink was ok, but with the salt, ice, lime and full meal, I don't know that I was able to appreciate the tequila. I think I need to find some place that does tequila flights.

I believe these all are incredible tequilas that one oughta try; esepcially when ye know tequila is more than Jose Cuervo (which I can see by reading yer posts). Try one or try 'em all; and if in Mexico, PM so I can try with ye.

Having begun my Tequila journey I have discovered Trago Respesado. Not many places carry it, but if you can find it, TRY IT!! It is the best f'n stuff ever. Very smooth, fruity, no bite at all. Don't ruin it in a Margarita. I like it over ice with a lime wedge on the side. Damn, its good!!
