This is such a warm, enjoyable channel. I love the unadulterated enthusiasm and positive spin on the industry. I know nothing about tequilas, but after a few of these videos, I'm betting I'll learn a lot. Thanks so much!
I love hearing that and I am glad you are enjoying the videos.
Cant get enough of all your videos. Tequila has open a whole new world for me. I am from Jalisco and always just pound it never tasted it... great videos man! One more thing thanks for responding to all my comments means a lot to me keep up the good work!!!!
Glad you enjoy the videos.. Thanks for watching and enjoying!
Awesome video! Thank you, love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!!!

Thanks! I am glad you like the video and I hope you enjoy the tequila as much as I do. Salud!
Great video idea, happy to tune into another video! Tequila shelves looking impressive behind you!
Thank you! Salud!
Great subject. Just the info I needed.
Glad to hear it!
Great information and so educational. I took pictures of each bottle that way I can’t go wrong on my purchase.
Glad you liked it and hope it helps you! Hope you enjoy them.
Great video!!! Cascahuin Tahona is very good...I really enjoy this as a sipper.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great info as usual. Have had the El Tesoro and G4 and they are both wonderful. Working on tracking down the others which have been on my list.
Right on! hope you find them!
Great video Hombre! I agree on the G4. Its fantastic. And thanks to you, I'll soon taste the high proof Blanco. I cant wait!
Thanks! Yeah, that 108 proof blanco is amazing. It just crossed the border so we should have it in a week or so! 😋👍
Love the video! Picking up some El Tesoro. Only one I don't have in my collection from this video. Salud!!
Salud Amigo! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
First I want to say your cabinets look wonderful! Thank you for this video. I have tried G4 and Fortaleza both great tequilas. Will be ordering El Tosoro soon.
Thanks you! I am glad you like the cabinets .I think they make a great background for the videos and can let you see some of what is in my collection. I hope you.enjoy the El Tesoro as much as I do. Salud!
Very helpful! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Have Fortaleza Blanco on the way. Can’t wait to try. Been sipping on Siete Leguas Añejo. So good.
I'm sure you will love Fortaleza..
Gonna try G4!!! Thanks Hombre!!👌🏼
Please comment back here when you do and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. Been drinking tequila, pulque, and Mezcal my whole life. Now retired I’m starting my collection and taking Tequila 101 course. This helped dealing with some of the tequila snobs I’ve ran into. Keep them coming
You will run into a bunch of them.. Just keep watching my videos to know which ones have additives and which ones are natual tasting well made tequilas.
Great list!! Cheers!! J & C
Thanks! Salud!
Great video! I have had 3 of the top 5 and I would put them in my top 5 too. I still need to try the Cascahuin and the San Matias. They were added to my must buy list today! I got the 42-A I won and It's amazing! I love this channel!
Awesome! I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting and for supporting the channel!
Your channel is the best your doing it RIGHT HOMBRE
I am glad you like it Mike!
Your reviews always amaze me at how much you know about all things tequila and how much I don't know. My wife keeps me on a budget but, I'll be putting a few bucks away and saving up to try the G4.
G4 isn't expensive. Most of these are very affordable and can be found for around $40. Tequila doesn't have to be expensive to be good. Many really expensive tequilas are not good. Hope you get a chance to try some of these..
@@TheTequilaHombre Really glad to hear that, thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the awesome review. I have to agree...the El Tesoro line is amazing. I've tried everyone of them and they are among my favorites. Spot on with the G4 as your #1 brand. It is also my #1 brand. The only one I haven't tried yet is the Extra Anejo but have tried the rest of the line.
Thanks for sharing and watching!
My number 1 brand is Los Abuelos/Fortaleza
Great info
Glad you think so!
Had the San Matias in my hand this morning. Put it down to get the El Tesoro Single Barrel Repo. Thanks for the assist. Also, finally opened my Fortaleza Still Strength last night. OMG, so good.
Thanks for the comment! You are most welcome! Always glad to help. Yeah, the Still Strength is good stuff! Try the San Matias Tahona.. Also really good tequila. Thanks for watching!
Just picked up the San Matias Tahona Blanco thanks to you, very very nice blanco as is the Cascahuin Tahona. I still need to try the El Tesoro and G4.
Awesome! I am super glad you enjoy it! I enjoy it too! Salud amigo!
I totally love San Matias Tahona Blanco, its oily and has fresh notes....you can really feel how an old-way tequila taste :) ...thanks for the video Mark :)
I totally agree! That's why it made my list. Thanks for watching!
Thank you , awesome information. San Matias 👍
Our pleasure!
Doing my research your the only tequilla pro .very tricky job im here for the the 🔦 and your respect
Well.. thanks! I am glad the channel is helping you.
Great vedio as your Chanel is not only introduce best brand tequila but also it is educational as I learned the life is too short to drink a bad tequila.
Thank you so much 🙂
I picked up El Tesoro because of you. It became a hit with all my friends.
Awesome! I am glad you and your friends enjoyed it and my videos helped! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
G4 blanco is my favorite blanco tequila. It really has a flavor like no other that I've had. i also have the Fortaleza blanco which is real nice. I will be looking into getting each of these in the Reposado next and eventually trying the El Tesoro brand. thanks for all your videos and recommendations. it has helped with my tequila knowledge and made my tequila drinking alot better in terms of quality tequilas.
Glad the videos have helped you. Thanks for watching and keep watching... More great videos to come!
Love your reviews, so informative to a Tequila novice but Tequila lover like myself, thanks
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching..
Thank you sir
Thanks for watching!
Lovely.
Thanks!
Hi Mark. Great video! I really like your taste. I agree with all your choices except I haven't had the San Matias yet but will give it a try. I've seen it as a spirits direct brand at Total and it is very cheap so I thought it is budget brand. Do you think it is the same stuff?
No, that could be another brand from San Matias. This is the Tahona line. Its in a bottle that is almost square shaped..
Fortaleza is my favorite, but I also love Tapatio, Ocho, and Siete Leguas Blanco.
Tapatio, Ocho and Siete are all great tequilas but they all use Rollermills.. So they didn't meet the criteria in the video..
Keep up the great information on the natural made Tequila, Mazcals.
I highly recommend it to all to be educated on getting the best Flavors.
No Additives ✖️
Only the Pure Way 🍃
Glad you enjoy the channel!
G4 Absolutely Fantastic!!
It sure is!
Thanks dawg
You bet
Definitely agree with all the brands here, they all seem to be well-received among many tequila drinkers. I'm definitely a fan of Fortaleza and El Tesoro already but have yet to try Cascahuin, G4, or San Matias tahona line. Definitely sounds like I'll have to, as I've heard great things about all three already. Cheers
Great! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Received my 10 Yr Rey Sol, I can't stop smiling. Waiting on G4 108. Your knowledge and passion are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for saying that.. You made me smile! I am glad you enjoy them and hope you enjoy the 108 proof blanco as well..
I picked up a bottle of Fortaleza Reposado and after the first sip it became my favorite, moved El Tesoro to 2nd place :). I like reposado more than Anejo and Blanco, but I will buy a bottle of Fortaleza Blanco based on your review.
Nice!
I love G4. The blanco is incredible. Gonna look for El Tesoro.
The El Tesoro is amazeballs!
I agree! El Tesoro is really good too. I hope you find some.. 😋👍
El Tesoro!!!
I love Fortaleza! I need to try El tesoro blanco and Paradiso. G4 is good but I like Fortaleza over G4
Glad you like it!
Good show, Mark! Sad, but I haven’t even had the opportunity to buy three of your top 5 😕
Thanks for watching! I hope you are able to get them to try!
Just tried the El Tesoro, I love it. Looking for the G4
Nice! Both are excellent.
Great video! I’ve been looking everywhere for the G4 XA 5 year. Do you know of a place the that has it? Tia
No sorry. That was a long time ago.
Heard really great things about the Cascahuin brand, unfortunately I can never find any of it by me.
It's readilty available online if you wanted to order it that way. 😁👍
New to nicer Tequilas. G4 and El Tesoro Blancos are the first ones I got. They're great! Marginally prefer the G4.
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying the better quality tequilas! Salud!
My top 3 Tequila Brands are Fortaleza, Siete Leguas & G4
Siete leguas is solid but is a blend of Tahona and Roller mill crushed from 2 different factories.. so it didn't qualify as being traditionally made but it is a solid line. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Being from Los Altos , I approve of your choices; although my choices would be different.
kewl..
Great video & sorry for the curveball Hombre but your thoughts on Don Camilo extra anejo?
I have no thoughts on it . sorry. Thanks for watching.
@@TheTequilaHombre I assume that means you haven't tried it?
@@Bklyn2SoCal Correct. it's not on my radar . Just another junk brand from a junk distillery.
Don Julio 1942 is one of my “high end” favorites. What are your thoughts? Made well? Additives? Thank you. Great reviews
Definitely additives. It's a vanilla bomb. Don Julio mixes diffused juice when making their tequila. Used to be a great line. Now it's undrinkable.
Yep!! The vanilla gives it away. Just picked up El Tesoro Anejo. Let’s see how it is
@@TheTequilaHombre - Do you know if they made the change when they changed the bottle design or has it been longer?
El tesoro is one of my favorites
You have great taste! 😋👍
Thank you for this hot list. This is a Reposado house. Will be starting at the top. G4
Hope you enjoy them! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the info Mark tried them all except the San Matias will have to pick a bottle in the future .What are your thoughts on Siete leguas one of my favorites?
Siete Leguas is very good... Its a blend of Tahona crushed and roller mill tequila from 2 different factories.. so didn't match the guidelines I set for this video.. These are all 100% tahona crushed..
Thank you for these recommendations! I'm expanding my collection. My birthday is on the 26th so I'm hoping to get the Tequilas that I put on my birthday list :)
You are most welcome! I hope you have a happy birthday and get some of these tasty tequilas as a present! 😋👍
i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Dominik Jericho Instablaster :)
@Edwin Immanuel thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Edwin Immanuel It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@the tequila hombre Thoughts on El Mayor? of any age
Its ok. not a huge fan.
I went to Puerto Vallarta over the weekend and bought my boyfriend El Ambur Extra Añejo as I have no clue about tequila. We both learned that there is a difference between regular and sipping tequilas. He loves single malt scotch so he was ok with it. Do you have any feedback on El Ambur?
Thanks for the review.
Sorry El Albur
Sure I have tried it and it's not very good. Check out my videos for better sipping tequilas. I would use the El Albur for Cocktails not for sipping .
G4 Blanco is probably my favorite blanco right now. Fortaleza blanco is a close second.
I like G4 more than Fortaleza as well.. Thanks for watching!
I recently brought a bottle of Fortaleza Blanco. although it is nice. I find it has a strong Alcohol taste which takes away from the flavour. something like Milagro Blanco is much smoother. The nicest Tequila I have ever tasted however is Clase Azul Reposado and is just heavenly.
Clase Azul is loaded with sweeteners and artificial flavoring to give it that taste. Fortaleza is natural with no added flavoring and sweeteners which is what real tequila tastes like. When trying to switch from the additive tequila to the natural there is an adjustment period..
@@TheTequilaHombre I did not know that. Thanks
@@TheTequilaHombre you went to clase azul to check their process? Never been…
My favorite is probably Fortaleza with G4 a close second
Awesome! Both are exceptional!
I can’t find any of these anywhere in Tucson. Can you help? Thanks. Ken
Order on www.fermentandstill.com.
Quick question tequila man, does G4 sponsor your channel or provides free sample bottles? It’s ok tequila, but to see your numerous videos on the brand in general you would think it’s the best juice ever...or you are a very good Sales hombre.
Thanks for your comment. No they do not. I purchased all of my G4. It's just great natural tasting, no additives tequila. Thanks for watching!
@@TheTequilaHombre - What will it take to get the top 30 list food pairing suggestions?
El Tesoro Reposado for sure-can't go wrong
True Dat! You sure can't!
G4 and Fortaleza are fantastic. Fortaleza is wholesale only now so secondary market only.
Not true.. That's mis-information.
Check again Hombre. Confirmed by Maverick. They still have renegade wholesale selling retail when they shouldn’t because they get more money. Disappointed in your reply.
@@toddstumpf1794 Local distributor still sells it to Ferment and Still so I can verify that the information is incorrect. Disappointed in you arguing with me.
Someone has been sipping some out of the G4 bottle. May wanna check into that lol.
Yes, I have 😋
What does the date on the Fortaleza bottle mean? The day it was bottled or the day it was put in the barrel to get aged?
You mean the Lote #? That is the number batch of that particular expression.
Theres another date thats printed on the glass at the bottom of my Anejo bottle.
@@aortunoj Typically those are the bottling dates..
I need some advice! I am coming from a whisky/bourbon/Rye drinking background, so was drawn to the anejo and extra anejo expressions: since, I've seen a number of videos saying that the flavors from the woods can mask the "real" tequila taste. Wanting to explore tequila, I did try several blanco tequilas in a blind test. I tried El Tesoro, El Padrino, and Cazul 100 because they were available in 1/2-sized bottles and were all award winning highly recommended tequilas (sadly, Fortaleza was on my list, but the stores near me don't carry the half-size and the cost was adding up). I preferred the El Tesoro, followed by the Cazul, and then the El Padrino. They were all decent sippers, but being used to aged spirits, they all seemed thin and lacking complexity. So, here's the question: Is this sense of lack of complexity and flavor just a matter of preference, of my choices in samples, or a lack of training of my pallet to pick up the flavor tones in blanco tequila? I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot, and hope you can steer me down the right path; I want to continue learn and am trying not to let me past experiences color my opinions too much.
El Tesoro is the only one from the ones you tried that I would recommend, You can find more complex blancos as well. With blancos the tastes are not as bold as whiskeys are with the amount of time they spend in wood. You you need to get your palate used to them to detect more. For more bold flavors I would recommend starting with higher proof blancos. Try the Fortaleza still strength, G4 108 proof, Calle 23 Criollo, Gran Dovejo High proof, DOn Fulano fuerte, or Cascahuin Plata. and lastly, don't take suggestions from people who work at Total wine.. have fun and I can't wait to hear what you think when you try these. (I came from whiskey too)
@@TheTequilaHombre LOL Thanks for clearing it up for me. I knew either my pallet was just used to wood, or that blancos were lighter on flavor and complexity; in this case, might have been a bit of both. Sadly, most of those were not available at the store at all, or not in smaller bottles since I was already buying several. I'll look online, and let the exploration continue!
@@fretless05 you are welcome brother. I am always here to help.. try different tequila before you pass judgement.. it's important... I am always here to answer questions should you have them.. Salud!
Bro great video and can u make some food pairing with tequila from india
Sorry,. Tequila can't be made in India..
@@TheTequilaHombre yup but u can buy drink and enjoy tequila
@@TheTequilaHombre some food pairing
Have you reviewed tequila ocho?
Yes.
Can u do more in store videos.. good bad and what to stay away from
Sure! Thanks for watching!
Hopefully this is a hard question but what is your favorite blanco??
This is my favorite 40% blanco czcams.com/video/XMDlAWP1S_s/video.html
This is my favorite high proof blanco: czcams.com/video/p5UVUBrfqhw/video.html
I just bought my first bottle of G4 because of your recommendation. I'll let you know how I like it. I was wondering if you've ever heard of a brand called Esperanto. The blanco and reposado are two of my favorites. I would very much love your feedback on this brand.
Yes. I have heard of Esperanto and I have a bottle and can't drink it. It's diffused and is rough with a bad after taste. So I can't drink it.. But the bottles are beautiful.
What's your thoughts on diablito?
One of my favorite XAs..
You're convincing me to pickup San Matias Tahona
Nice, It's a good one!
I like tequila ...
Nice! I LOVE tequila.. 😉👍
Howdy do hombre! herencia Mexicana tequila didn’t make your top 5 tequila team the repo is my fav ,what’s your two take on herencia thanks
I'll add it to the list for review. I do like everything that I have had out of 1580. Wish they were still making Oro Azul..
Much as gracias hombre! I just pick up 2 bottle of G4 repo/añejo and 1 bottle el Tesoro añejo Salud!
@@carlosr.2027 Nice. You grabbed some really nice juice! Salud!
Have I been lied to about don juilo? It’s the smoothest tequila I’ve tried blanco and anejo go down like water
Yes, you have been. There are other much better options. Try any of these..
What does "bottled at ABV" mean?
It means the Alcohol Content of what's in the bottle.
@@TheTequilaHombre You are funny.
@@jimklemens5018 wasn't being funny. That's what it means.
I’m surprised you didn’t have Tequileño on this list. I think I would be good without the San matias
El Tequileno is not Traditionally made. No brick horno or Tahona.
Being a Mexican I have to say I was surprised to see Cascahuin Blanco in this list...
Sorry to hear that..
I can’t remember if I had el tesoro or volans but I didn’t really enjoy that tequila….sucks I can’t remember which one it was
Sounds like you enjoyed it more than you thought. 😉👍😋
Absolutely love El Tesoro
Me too! 😋👍
Bummed that G4 isn’t in virginia
You can always order it online at www.Fermentandstill.com
I love El Tesoro. I am a bigger fan of Tequila Ocho.
Me too! But Ocho isn't made traditionally.. No Tahona.
What are a few best tequilas only found in Mexico???
For one, Grab the Reserve de Gonzalez which is only available in Mexico. Great stuff!
Were is 7 leguas blanco my friend?
Siete Leguas is only half traditionally made as its a blend from two factories. (Almost 3 now) One uses a rollermill. So it doesn't qualify.
just skip 2:03 save you time
Oh no.. watch the whole video.. 😀👍
Not a fan of Siete Leguas???
Of course I am but it is only half traditionally made as they blend juice from two factories (soon to be 3) and only one uses a tahona.
@@TheTequilaHombre hmm...I was aware they are building a 3rd location. I just spoke to one of their guys last week. I'll be in Atotonilco in 2 days (leaving this Sunday).
What do think of Tequila Casa de Los Gonzalez? they use brick ovens but a roller mill instead of a tahona.
I don't know if I told you before but I have 30 hectares right behind Latino Especial (not too far from Embajador). I want to cultivate agave and make my own but the right way. no pulling plants in year 4, no additives, no diffusers/autoclaves, none of that nonsense.
It will be a while but it's my dream. 74 acres can make for a lot of plants.
Love your channel btw.
@@DonRamiro1 Reserva de los Gonzalez? It's very good. I always grab bottles when I visit GDL since it's not available in the States. That brand was the brand of Don Julio's son. I know and are good friends with His his Grandson. Don't get me wrong on the Siete Legaus. I love the brand but it didn't make this list because it didn't fit that criteria I was using for that video. That sounds cool that you are looking to start an agave farm and make your own tequila. I wish you the best of luck with that venture. Glad you like the channel. Thanks for watching.
What is your fav tequila, even if it’s not traditionally made???
I like too many to have a favorite.
Why TORAI is so expensive
Expensive bottle 🤷
The Tequila Hombre but what is so especial
@@javierg5310 Couldn't answer that. I haven't had any yet..
this commercial for brand I don't see any where, not comparing them,
you talked at beginning how they process differently, but didn't say a word about how each one made different from others! CLICK BAIT!
why any of them better than others?!
Search the channel for the reviews of each of them. This is just a list of the 5 top traditionally made tequilas. Salud!
Another, "te-kee-luh" guy
yep..
At the end of the night im slowly goin to the g4 repasado for its smoothness
It's a tasty reposado..
Buddy says el Tesoro is cheap ok. Canada price is 150$ a bottle lol. I’d rather buy an oz of weed it will last me 2 months
In the US its $39.00. Thanks for watching!
Why are they all blancos?
They Aren't.. They are brands that have all three expressions..
