Tequila

I expected more from this Tequila given the price point and the hype around the category. Served on the rocks as recommended. The balance between sweetness and bite was underwhelming compared to bottles at half the price I've enjoyed. The premium end of this market has a lot of marketing attached t…

I came to Tequila late — not until I was in my 7s. Had assumed it wasn't for me based on nothing in particular. A partner's recommendation changed that. Tried it on the rocks and the depth of flavour was immediately interesting rather than off-putting. Several years on and it's firmly part of how I…

Over the past year I've tried 4 different expressions of Tequila, ranging from entry-level to premium. My conclusion: the finish is the most reliable indicator of quality across price points. Served as a long drink with ice, the differences are pronounced and educational. The best value wasn't the …

After 3 years of drinking Tequila I'm still finding bottles that surprise me. The category has more depth than it's given credit for by people who haven't explored it properly. Served in a proper glass at room temperature at its best, the balance between sweetness and bite continues to evolve in int…

Tried this Tequila on recommendation and it's a solid choice without being exceptional. Served on the rocks as suggested. The character is present but not as pronounced as in more premium examples. For regular drinking it's good value. For a special occasion I'd go a step up. It's the kind of Tequi…

Something I've noticed with Tequila: the season changes the experience significantly. In summer chilled it's lighter and more refreshing, the smooth aftertaste sitting differently in warm weather. In winter the same drink served the same way feels richer and more substantial. I now think about Tequ…

Tequila has become my slow-evening ritual. Served on the rocks, no distractions, and you start to notice things — the depth of flavour, the way it develops in the glass. It's a drink that rewards attention in a way most don't. I've introduced a few friends to proper Tequila and the reaction is alwa…

I've been a Tequila drinker for years and this category never gets old. The depth of flavour you get from a well-made Tequila is genuinely hard to explain to someone who hasn't tried it. I tend to drink it on the rocks and find that's when it shows its best character. The finish is what sets a grea…

I drink Tequila roughly once a week and have done for 4 years. Not a connoisseur, just someone who enjoys it consistently. Served chilled after work it provides a reliable wind-down that nothing else quite replicates. The complexity on the palate is comforting in its familiarity. I'm not here to pe…

My first serious Tequila was a gift and it genuinely opened a new chapter in how I think about drinking. The complexity — especially the complexity on the palate — was unlike anything I'd experienced. Served with a splash of water by the person who gave it, with an explanation of what I was tasting.…
