Decissions,decissions, decissions!!!

[El grano de oro]

I am going to be buying a bottle of tequila, but I am undecided on wich bottle
to buy! I can not decide between 4 bottles CHINACO NEGRO,HERRADURA SUPREMA,EL TESORO 70th, ARETTE UNIQUE. I have never tasted any of these
bottles before! All of these bottles are classic bottles to have in my collection, My favorite tequila that I have tasted & enjoyed is 7 leguas anejo.
I like the agave taste in this tequila! My question to you guys is, wich of these tequilas leans toward the taste of 7 leguas? or if none of these bottles
lean towards 7 leguas, Then wich of these bottles should I start with? what order would you buy them in? THANKS

I have not had the Arrette and am not a fan of HSS (too woody). But I love Chinaco Negro and love ET 70TH even more.

Order based in likeness to 7 Leguas añejo and my personal suggestions:
ET 70th
Chinaco (no make that CN first)
HSS
Arrette (great but least like 7LA)

Really you can't go wrong with any of these in any order. Just get them!

I would go for the ET70 1st because they are getting harder and harder to find. Especially if the store you find it at doesn't "jack the price up" because they know its hard to find/or no longer made. I guess thats one advantage of living in a state controlled liquor state you pay retail but never more than retail even on hard to find products like ET 70.

IMNSHO.....ET 70th! It has it's own unique flavor profile! It is unlike any other tequila I have ever sampled. BUY IT NOW!!!

IMHO, I would put them in this order:
1. ET70
2. Chinaco Negro
3. HSS
4. Arette Unique
Honestly, I would be happy to buy any of them! Enjoy

Just out of curiosity, what would the "retail" price be on that bottle of ET70th in Idaho?

I just picked on up one last week for $139, plus our 6% tax which came out to 147 and some change. Where if I picked it up on line It would of been $150 plus shipping. I was just happy that Idaho actually had some good juice in stock.
