Default Tres Rios

Score! I found all three types on sale for $19.99 at a local store! I tried a bottle of the repo a few months back, and had paid about $34 for it. I think it is worth $34 for a bottle, but for $20, I got all three this time.

This is a good mid-level juice. All three are sippable. The blanco is more sweet than spicy, which I prefer. Compared to Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo, I think Vince Neil's Tres Rios is better, and definitely cheaper.

Nice find for that price and it wouldn't be a bad tequila if it always retailed for the same price as you paid. I can't say that I was all that thrilled with any of Vince's offerings...especially when I see the blanco priced in the mid 30's, the repo priced in the high 30's and the anejo in the mid to high 40's. IMHO...the blanco was just a bit too weak for me...just not enough agave for my palate or my wallet!

Yeah the juice is ok, not worth more than $20. I had grabbed quite a few from Hitime, they were closing out the repo for about $15 a bottle, add $5 for shipping = $20. I mainly used them for mixing and it's ok as a budget sipper. I first picked it up last summer in Fl., I hope that place still has some of the Blue Head anejo that I also picked up there.

The old juice was better and could be used as a budget sipper, the new stuff is not for sipping IMHO
