I’ve been interested in exploring more tequilas, but before I branch out, I want to cover all the basic, popular options. I’ve reviewed Casamigos and Don Julio before, but I want to drink them side by side to see which is better. We’re going to discuss the differences in taste, flavor, and production. Is one…
It comes time to pick up a bottle of tequila for the party. You’re not 20 years old, and you want something decent, or at least something that appears decent. A couple popular options are Casamigos, Patron, and Don Julio. Which would you choose? Which should you choose? In this article, we’re going to discuss…
We all know the different liquors, at least most of us know the main ones. You’ve got whiskey, rum, vodka, tequila. But it’s not really that simple, and what actually separates these? What are the differences between something like tequila from say whiskey? In this article, we’ll discuss the legal differences between whiskey and tequila,…
A couple months ago I reviewed Hornitos Plata Tequila, and it was almost really good, but just a little off. Some people had recommended I try Hornitos Black Barrel, one of their añejo offerings, instead. Well, I recently decided to give it a try because I was looking at making some tequila old fashioneds. If…
Whiskey is generally sipped, I mean when it comes to good whiskey at least. Tequila is often used in a much more diverse manner. Yeah, the expensive and aged tequila is very good when it’s sipped, the cheap stuff is fine in a marg, but a lot of us… A lot of us drink tequila…
I was wandering the liquor store on the morning of Cinco De Mayo looking for some tequila and beer. I already had the Pacifico’s picked out, and just needed some tequila for margaritas. I was looking for tequila reposado that was reasonably priced, or even cheap. That’s when I came across Don Ramon Tequila Reposado….
I must admit, one reason for this review is definitely the name – Hornitos. It’s also a vastly popular tequila under the Beam-Suntory umbrella, so it’s widely available and reasonably priced. I’ve never been a huge tequila drinker, outside of shots and margaritas, but it’s certainly something I’ve been drinking more and more of –…
A lot of people have distrust in colored, or brown, tequila. I know I did for awhile. That’s because my first experience was with Jose Cuervo Gold, a very cheap tequila that uses coloring to achieve the goldish brown hue. However, real brown tequila can be quite the treat as it gets its color from…
Much like scotch, tequila is a spirit I’m trying to drink more and more of in hopes of developing a palate for it. I’ve already found a couple tequilas I really like, such as Teremana Anejo, but it doesn’t stop there. Today, we’re going to do a quick overview and review of Corazon Tequila Blanco….
With the explosion of seltzers in the last half decade, nearly every beer brand has tried to grab a share of the market. What started as White Claws and Truly has turned into Bud Light Seltzer, Corona Seltzer, Michelob Ultra Seltzers, and so on. We’re likely to see something similar happen in the world of…
Tequila’s never really been my go-to drink of choice. Outside of taking shots, I’ve always chosen to go with other spirits – for mixers or drinks on the rocks. I even prefer a daquiri to a margarita. However, I know there are so many people out there who appreciate good tequila, so I’m gonna try…
My go-to drink is almost always whiskey. Tequila doesn’t often make it into my body unless it’s in the form of a shot. However, I’m trying to expand my palate with more drinkable or sippable tequilas. Naturally, that led me in the direction of aged tequilas such as Teremana Anejo. I did not expect it…
