Don Julio Anejo and Herradura Anejo have always been my favorites

Don Julio, Patron, and Cuervo baby.

Porfidio, the mexican answer to aged cognac. Outstanding!

I like Chinaco and Padron (silver just as much as or more than gold in both cases), myself. Smooth and without that nasty afterkick that you get with the really rank stuff. I have some fancy Tres Generation I bought maybe ten years ago that is supposed to be put in a snifter, which is good, because the oak undertone makes for a lousy Margarita. For that matter, premium tequila is usually overkill for a Margarita anyway.

Anyone ever try any of Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo brand?

Cabo Wabo's the best! Goes down incredibly smooth. Take a shot of that followed by a shot of Cuervo...you'll see what I mean

I've polished off a couple of the Blue Bottles. Very smooth, sipping 'quila.

I also like the Cuervo with the silver label....can't recall the name, but it's pretty tasty.

I try to refrain from drinking too much tequila though, as the last time I drank alot of it was my 24th B-day, and I ended up with three broken teeth and waking up beside a car. SuperMan complex ya' know? But.....that was 13 years ago....I like to think that I may have matured just slightly since then.

Then again........maybe not.

I never thought there could be such a difference until I tried Patron silve shaken with ice until nearly freezing...DAMN! I wasn't a teauilla fan but now I crave more Patron.

I will try some of the othere suggestions here if I ever come across them.

Tequila has a way of making a lot of folks forget their age, station in life, health status, physical location, car keys, marital status, etc., etc.!

While it is very well known that I love tequila, Namely Patron silver, I've been drinking all different kinds before I chose my favorites. It goes in this order,

Patron Silver
Followed very closely by
Don Julio silver
Cabo Wabo

Just the other night, We were out getting my buddy hammered for his bacholor party. We ended up at a Tequila bar (Yeah, Big surprise) and they had Gran Patron Platinum. At $200 a bottle, I was not going to buy it because I didn't think it would be worth it. Well, I was 100% WRONG!!!!! Later today, I am going to go to this one place that I know they have it. As far as a review......I could not give it the proper justice in just words.

Huge tequila fan here!

Although tequila has a reputation that is undeserved in my opinion, I like the fact that many people won't go near it. That just leaves more for me. I have however, converted many former victims of the plastic sombrero by introducing them to the contents of my liquor cabinet.

Herradura Reposado and Anejo - Always on hand, my go-to tequila
Cabo Wabo - At least one bottle in stock at all times
Don Julio & Don Eduardo - "The Dons" always stopping by, but never for long You will usually find at least one of them in there
Patron Silver - One bottle in the freezer for guests that absolutely refuse to drink anything else
Sauza Hornitos - No Cuervo in my margaritas! Almost every drop of this stuff ends up in the blender

[oddball]

For sipping, I like Patron Anejo and Sauza Tres Generaciones, the latter a better deal than the Patrons.

For mixed drinks and sipping, Sauza Hornitos (cheaper by the "magnum" size).

No kidding right? I really liked the Cabo Wabo I tried in Canada, and this Don Julio Anejo is incredible! Now I just need a mariachi band...

IMHO,

There is no better Tequila than Don Julio blanco. What a flavor!

I like the tequila that comes in a bottle. Especially if it has a worm in the bottom

[adsantos13]

I love tequila!

Something similar that I just started trying is Mezcal. I've heard or read somewhere an analogy that Mezcal is to Tequila is what Armangac is to Cognac. In short, a "rustic" cousin of sorts.

Bar none, my FAVORITE Mezcal so far is Del Maguey San Luis del Rio. This stuff is "smokey" yet has the basic Tequila profile as well. Lovers of smokey drinks like Scotch would love this stuff.

Kind of hard to find but worth it!
