Thought I'd share a great tequila afternoon experience. There was a Mexican restaurant that was closing down and had a last day special, any shot from an open bottle for $5. Here are the tequilas I had, I'll rank them also:
Patron Gran Burdeos, def the star of the show, without a doubt the smoothest and most flavorful and paying 5 instead of 60, almost felt guilty. I had 2 shots, by the time we were done savoring these beauties they were out
Don Julio Real, another ultra smooth no alcohol burn whatsoever. Much different from DJ Anejo which I thought was odd. The regular Anejo has a prominent nutty aftertaste unique to DJ IMO and that was not present, which I liked honestly. There were only two shots left in the bottle that my buddy and I claimed, would have loved some more.
Herradura Suprema, another fantastic xtra Anejo! For taste alone I might have ranked it above the Real but honestly I was expecting alittle more from Herradura. Their Anejo is a definate favorite of mine so I expecting to be blown away here. I had two shots of this before the well went dry.
The rest were very good but not outstanding comparatively, Milagro select anejo, El Tesoro Aneversario (actually I was pretty much in the bag for these 2, wish I could have remembered them more). I also had a couple proven favorites, Casa Noble Anejo & El Mayor Anejo, always solid! I even had cuervo reserva de familia, was not impressed, definitely the bottom of the list.
All in all it was a fantastic opportunity to try some top shelf Tequilas without breaking the piggybank. Would have been over $700 any other day. Definitely a day to remember and a night to forget, lol.
Don Julio Real,
