So what's your favorite Tequilla?

I primarily drink silver over rocks and lately prefer only Don Julio Blanco, Corzo Silver, or Inocente Silver. What are you guys drinking these days?

Don Julio

Inocente Tequila

Kram, I used to me solely a Grey Goose Rocks or Kettle Rocks guy with a few olives (not olive juice) and my buddy member SG said "...try silver tequila, you'll have virtually no hangover in the morning as it's much cleaner being plant based." I haven't ordered a vodka in 5 months....

i don't know what it is, but it is difficult for me to put down tequila. i can shoot it (if i have to) and enjoy a couple of margaritas, but beyond that, i have some sort of mental block. maybe it reminds me too much of my college days when we used to get sick on the cheap stuff. LOL.

Impossible to pick just one. Somewhere back I did a thread on my 5 favorites. Here are some current favorites in no particular order.

Don Fulano Imperial. This 5 year anejo is just awesome. Some people compare it to Herradura Suprema, I don't see it. Stands on its own 2 feet.



Fina Estampa Anejo
Their blancos and reposados were really great. And I personally dont care for either blancos or Reposados much....


Pura Sangre Gran Reserva.

3 year anejo. You can not buy it in the states unfortunately. This ultra premium is amazing.



Tres-Cuatro-Cinco
I was fortunate enough to find 2 bottles of this. If you get one, hide it. Drink it alone. Its a 3,4 and 5 year blended anejo (30% 3 year, 40% 4 year, and 30% 5 year) that is in a class of its one. For $500 its worth every penny.



Then there's the standards that I love as well, like the Cuervo Family Reserve, Herradura Suprema, and 7 Leguas anejo. never really cared much for blancos, although a GREAT blanco is Guillermo Sauza's "Los Abuelos". It is very smooth and has a vanilla characteristic to it. Also there is my friend Rick's Asombroso 11 year Anejo, which is really more akin to a fine cognac. At $1,000 a pop, its held for special occasions.

I just picked up a Jose Cuervo Family Reserve Platino that is probably the best silver I have tasted so far.

In terms of just having some stuff around the house, these are my faves:

Jose Cuervo Family Reserve Platino:


Herradura Anejo:


Gran Centanario Anejo:


Casa Noble Anejo:



My least favorites so far are:

Tres Generations Silver
Gran Centanario Rose Angel


I havent had anything really high end, but in terms of available tequilla those are the one's I like so far

DJ-

I am a Blanco guy as well, check out the following

Dos Lunas
Correlajo
El Major

These really knocked my socks off last time I visited the local tequila watering-hole. Had DJ blanco Saturday night, and must admit, really good stuff for the money (also had no idea that DJ sells there agave to padron)
