The Anjeo, true to its name, has spent a year in the oak casks.

If you like lighter taste, stick with the silvers, IMO. Also, use silvers in your Margaritas, IMO. Gold and oaky ones just really mess up the flavor. I will say that the Patron and Chinaco silvers make exceptionally smooth cocktails or shots, and without some of the sourness you'll get with some very cheap stuff. Those two will set you back some green, though.

I can't get the Chinaco Silver here but I can get the Patron Silver... now to just find an ABC store that stocks it. Might have to be ordered.

My favorites are:
Gran Centenario Añejo - not available here. can only get Gran Centenario Plata
Don Julio Añejo - is available
Oro Azul Reposado - not available here

looks like it's pretty limited what can be bought here. Wonder if Frank would mind if I picked up a couple of different bottles.

For sipping, look for 100% Agave on the label. Some brands you might like, not already mentioned.


Herradura
Cazadores
Hornitos
Sauza

and a nice web site.

And yes I've had some Cabo Wabo, and I don't really remember how it tasted.

Don Julio is the best, but I also like Jose Cuervo 1800

[Ms. Floydp]

what about Gran Patron Platinum Tequila??? I might be able to talk Frank into a bottle of this..LOL.. it's only $208 for 750ml

[mosesbotbol]

I partial to Don Julio Blanco. I get it $23.00 bottle at the BX in Cancun! In Boston it's around $50. I like Corazon also. It's like anything else; hard to pick just one favorite.

here's a list of the tequilas that are available here and the prices.. what would you suggest to try first?

Don Julio Añejo - but then you wouldn't want/need to try anything else.
Sauza Hornitos is very good and a little less expensive than the Don Julio.

Cazadoes reposado $37.50 ain't bad either, you can taste the agave in this one.

And I see they have Viuda de Romero blanco, good for margaritas. If you ever see any Viuda de Romero reposado or anejo around the $40 range get it - a very nice tequila! You can tell it was nicely barrel aged, would be good for someone that was coming from bourbon.

thanks Peter and Rick.. if I ever see it maybe Frank would at least try it then.

Two Fingers is better than the standard Jose Cuervo for the price.Go for it!!!!

I've always liked the kind you make margaritas with.

Seriously, it's been quite a while since I've had the stuff straight. When I was in my early 20's - well, that's yet another story that I can't seem to recall.

Lots of good leads here, though. I'll be investigating!
