Carlos has been hinting at this for a while now....this is great news! FANTASTIC JUICE! If you don't live in CA or NY, at least now you will be able to purchase it online instead of having to travel to Mexico to bring some back home!

On a side note...here is a quote from "The Tequila Tracker" who first broke the story on 11/2:
"I was able to confirm that Tapatio is indeed the brand and that Charbay will be the importer for the US market. The company will begin by only importing the blanco and their goal is to have it on shelves in California, Texas, Colorado and New York in early 2012."

Totallytequila says: "The blanco is a good start and I hope the repo and anejo will be right behind. Better yet...the XA would truely be the ultimate import!"

I can't wait - it's on my list to buy when in Cabo San Lucas in December. It's the same NOM as El Tesoro, is it not? And that's some goooood sh- er, stuff!

The NOM 1139 is the same, however the Tap Mexican juice is 38% alc. compared to 40% alc. for the El Tesoro US bottling. Have fun in Cabo!

The El Tesoro I had was a 50 ml I purchased in Mexico (PDC) last year so it would have been 38% as well - I went a little nuts and bought about 15 small 50mls to take home and taste - tried to get the B,R,A of each one. Solo flight for one!

I have two friends coming from Mexico and they have The List; I'm only asking for mid-range tequilas from them, I like to buy the higher end ones myself in case of any accidents. (Not likely - I'm a total bubblewrap-ziploc-towel wrap hoarder!).

Big sigh - it's never enough, is it? Aw heck, that's half the fun. The Hunt!!!
