Are you talking about a typical tequila anejo or some super-premium aged xx years bottle? As far as anejos go, I like Don Julio and Herradura pretty well.

I actually like Reposado's and Silvers the best which are minially aged. The super old ones taste too much of oak and lose IMHO their Agave flavor.

My Fav's for sipping neat are Herradura Reposado, El Tesoro (Silver and Reposado), and Don Julio (Silver and Reposado). For mixing drinks, nothing beats Sauza Hornitos for value (Its 100% de Agave).

This was from the "RUM THREAD", but I think it still applies.

Somebody STOP THIS MADNESS - Actually I can't wait to see what we have in here. I am interested in a "sipping" tequila.

Cheers - Come on Matt, expand your libations horizon!!!!,

I have the Reposado (rested Tequilas) and found them to be an amazing compliment to spicey cigars like Ashton VSGS.

Tequila is not often heralded as something to pair with a cigar, but the times I have done the two together its worked nicely.

Tequila is my spirit of choice to accompany a good cigar. It invites a rich cameroon wrapper of whatever you got in the humi.

We are talking sipping here...not shooters or mixing. Although most good tequilas don't mind mingling with some nice citrus and simple syrup.

Sipping tequila can also act as a pace car for my puffing, allowing a bit of a palette cleanser as well. It offers the opprotunity to rest my cigar for a moment.

My staple standby is Cazadores Anejo, smooth, carmel and vanilla notes supported by the sweetness of agave. It also has a nice reusable bottle. I pay $39.99 for a Liter.

When I can get it I like to savor 1800 Gran Reserva Tequila Anejo, Del Nuevo Milenio. I went through two bottles a while back before I realized how hard it was to get.

I have also enjoyed Centenario Plata Blanco, very clean and warming with citrus high notes.

I would be remiss if I did not mention Scorpion Anejo Mezcal, this is a smooth earthy nectar loaded with smokey sweetness.

So get yourself one of those little skinny tequila shot glasses 3/4 full of cactus juice, pick out a cigar, sit back and light up.

There is only one tequila I would drink.... (Not true, I would drink most any with alcohol in it.) But this is the best tequila I have ever had.


I have had the patrons, don julios, cabo wabo, but Herradura Seleccion Suprema is the best. Very smooth.





Also, my mexican friends all put their tequilas in the freezer. They say it makes the tequila much smoother....

[volfan]

El Tesoro (every variety) is the best tasting sipping tequila I have ever had. I have not had the El Tesoro Paradiso (Anejo tequila aged in cognac barrels) but hope to soon.

i like the 1800 tequilas, but there are too many other good tequilas to name here.

[SingleMaltScott]

Thanks for the input, I am pretty sure I've tried most of these.
Anyone here had the El Mayor?

Your welcome, so what did you think of the 1800 Gran Reserva Tequila Anejo, Del Nuevo Milenio and the Scorpion Anejo Mezcal?

Darn!!! I was gonna hold you down and force feed you some Cabo Wabo...don't be SKEERED!!!

well, I've had my share of Jose Cuervo, Two Fingers,El Toro ,Sauza....The best I've ever had were of course Don Julio, Patron and Cabo Wabo... all silver. Never had any Anejo's...so.....I guess I'm not much help.
