PaulO Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I enjoyed the article Wade. I will try and track down some of your suggested brands. I agree with you on the Olmeca Altos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on the Olmeca Altos. El Tesoro is owned by Beam Suntory and is widely available. Siete Leguas is owned by Sazerac and also should be easy to find. The others I can find easily in Texas but I'm not sure how wide of distribution they have across the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I'm not a huge tequila fan, but I like this one and absolutely love the transparency from Siembra Azul. This is from their 12yr Special Anniversary Edition: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Great article as usual Wade! I left a somewhat lengthy comment on the article. I may differ a bit on some points, and we can certainly debate some aspects of the article, but as always, it was well researched and very informative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I did some bunker raiding and came out with Exotico Reposado I had picked up on sale a while ago. It goes well with the recent heat and humidity. I get honey, citrus, and pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I've been trying a few Mezcal samples today, getting ready to dip my toe... but I've also been enjoying some G4 blanco and the Fortaleza winter blend above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstairs they have a Mexican restaurant. Never eaten there so no idea if it is any good but I bet the the selection of agave spirits is excellent!

beasled Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Last pour of this bottle. Not a lot of love for them these days it seems but the anejo remains solid for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
