What Tequila Should You Buy💰? The Different Categories of Tequila
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 03. 2020
- There are five types of tequila within specific categories - Blanco (Silver), Joven (Gold), Reposado (Aged), Añejo (Extra aged) and Extra Añejo (Ultra-aged). There are two categories of tequila - 100% de Agave, and Mixted (Mixto).
➡️ Tequila that is 100% de Agave is made with only the sugars of the Weber blue agave. Tequila, commonly called Mixted (Mixto) is made using 51% agave sugars and 49% other sugars. Each of the tequila categories has distinct characteristics described in this short clip.
➡️ UPDATE!!!!!!!!!! We didnt mention Cristalino during the filming because it was just arriving to market, but we wanted to give some information about it.
Cristalino is essentially añejo, or aged, tequila that has been filtered (often through charcoal) to remove the naturally occurring colors it picks up from spending time inside the barrel. The filtration process strips the color and some of the tequila’s woodier notes without removing the rich flavors and textures imparted by the barrel.

OMG...finally someone on CZcams who knows what they're talking about regarding Tequila.
Hahahahah cheers brother👊🏻👊🏻 glad to share what I learned from some amazing people in the tequila industry.
Definitely
What i know about tequila is that it makes the pain go away
@@ericktellez7632 I'm torn between not even wanting to dignify your pedantry and wanting roll my eyes into the back of my head.
@@ericktellez7632 Who gives a fuck!
really good video, ill be checking your videos all day long, those are very interesting, thanks for uploading them
Great presentation. Thank you for the knowledge 🙏
Thanks so much and glad you got value from it. Cheers -Jeff
Thanks for the clear description! Greetings from the Netherlands
Awesome, thanks for taking time to comment. Can’t wait to get back to Netherlands, I eventually want to make it to “Kings day” in April I believe. What a festival. -Jeff
I get the cheapest Tequila Blanco, put it in fridge for five hours, and take one ounce shots at home. Goes down smooth and two to three shots will get you "buzzed", but the Beauty of it, no hangover, ever.
You can do the same with Vodka and White Rum.
It is the sugar and chemical additives that give you, the hangovers.
I love your videos. Great work‼️
Craig, can’t thank you enough for this. Means a lot. Only getting better. -Jeff
Exellent video Jeff and Clayton!!! Sure are going to miss the "La Cata" tasting room....
Thanks so much Thomas, Clayton schooled me on tequila and I have so much more respect for tequila and hope a lot of people have a better understanding about it as well. Thanks, -Jeff
Really good to follow your videos. And the most attractiv are the key words and phrases you write on side.

🤗👍😎THANKS JEFF…I AM ENJOYING THIS AGAIN…ONE YEAR LATER…AND THIS STORY HAS AGED WELL 😊😍😍😍
Thanks so much! Yeah I go back to it also for a refresher hahahaha
@@drinkdestinations JEFF I AM JUST CURIOUS 🤔 have
You ever tried NOSOTROS MEZCAL OR RESPOSADO THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY 🤗😍😍😍
Perfecto!
🙏🙏🙏
This is only the second of your videos I've seen.
Thumbs up.
I like bourbon but but hate the hype.
A few years ago I was buying some tequila for my Dad.
A clerk recommended a Olmeca Altos. Highly rated and more reasonably priced than "name brands" like Patron or George Clooney's deal.
I completely agree with your guy in preferring Silver over Reposado.
I haven't had a good extra anejo.
Silver is basically white whisky and what people now call "commercial" moonshine.
Just unaged spirits from a different mashbill.
I don't think silver is that much harsher than reposado but surprisingly I get more complex tastes.
If you have a chance, give Altos "a shot".
Thanks so much and can’t thank you enough for the support.
I was hoping that you might recommend some specific tequilas to try.
Check out the bottles in the video. It’s saying what to buy without actually saying it. These are what I would recommend
Skip the mixtos, and stick with Agave. Age of the Tequila is personal preference, but I buy blanco to mix and anejo to sip. You can also skip the best known brands. I really enjoy Alteno and Agavales, two less well-known brands that are of very good quality, especially for mixing, and they are great in a margarita. El Jimador Anejo is a great value for sipping or straight up. It is possible to buy great Tequila without paying high prices.
Awesome information and thanks so much for sharing. I’ve got a Fortaleza Reposado I’m sipping on these days. I’ll definitely look into the brands you mentioned. Cheers. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Been a Tequila fan for many years, after some trips to Mexico that included distillery tours, and the discovery that great Tequila can be really cheap there. Always bring at least one bottle back each trip.
Hey Jon, you seem you know a lot about tequila, recently started to make bar for me and fiance, we've made up our minds on all basic spirits except tequila.
Neither of us drunk it before, so we bought very cheap one, tastes horrible, wonder what better to get for mixing (Margarita and Long Island Iced Tea, for start - when I put this cheap tequila into Long Island, I could barely taste anything else).
Could you advice us ? The ones I'm considering, are available and wont break the budget for learning purposes are Jose Cuervo, Pepe Lopez (cheapest one of them, im guessing not), El Jimador, Sauza, Olmeca (preferably not Altos which is quite a bit more expensive, but if thats the only one worth of them, I guess there is no other choice). All blancos, I think.
Thank you :)
@@peterkadlecikjr.2807 I like El Jimador too - it has a little extra 'bite' to it, but if you can find them, the Alteno or Agavales brands are two great values in blanco tequila, and all I ever mix with anymore. Sauza is ok, but it is not the value it once was. You can do better than Cuervo, but it is a safe choice. I don't know Pepe Lopez or Olmeca. There is a lot of cheap crap out there, and a lot of expensive stuff that is just as bad. Always look for 100% Agave.
@@joniszard2340 hmm, 100% agave seems like its only Jimador and Olmeca Altos. So in a choice of Cuervo (14€), Jimador (17€) and Sauza (18€ but for a litre bottle), which one should I get ? Just really looking for authenthic tequila experience in mixed drinks, not any elite experience but not the same crap I bought last time. Couldnt find the 2 brands you recommended out here.
I recommend👉tequila🔥Reposado🔥
💯💯💯💯💯💯 good recommendation 👍🏻👍🏻
I like your channel, jeff
I really appreciate it! I couldn’t do this without support from people like you and I promise to tell amazing stories and continue to improve my craft and storytelling. Cheers
Which is the strongest tequila with highest content of alcohol more than 40%.
Last week I have tried el jimador it has 37% alcohol content but that was not strong enough.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for commenting and here is a link to some strong proof tequilas.
www.liquor.com/slideshows/high-proof-tequilas/
Hornitos reposado makes the best Tequila Sunrise.
What do u think about el Jimador??
I’ll never turn down a product like el Jimador, but I think they are more main stream then my personally liking for tequila I drink. I like drinking tequila from the smaller producers. Like Cascahuin, Volans, Fortaleza. -Jeff
I would like to try a 100% agave tequila. Is el jimador or sierra antiguo recomended?
Mitch look for brands like Fortaleza, Volans and try TequilaMatch app. they are now providing 💯 additive free tequilas on their website and app. They will show you all the bottles that are currently on the market that are 💯 agave. Cheers and hope that helps. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations thx alot
which category is best for sipping? Or is it all personal preference? I was thinking anejo or reposado but I really do not know
It’s a great question. I’m a whiskey drinker and I love reposado and getting the subtle notes of barrel flavors with the agave. I enjoy Anejo for sipping as well, but it’s all based on price point and yes, based off your palate I would start in those ranges and see what you enjoy. Check out the brands in the video as we put them in for a reason. Hopefully you can find some of them where your living.
@@drinkdestinations We have some large liquor stores nearby so I will see what I can do. If not, my uncle was a liquor distributor for decades so I'll see what he can do for me.
Thank you for the response! I figured as a scotch guy I would probably like the darker stuff but I dont want to jump straight in. I also don't drink regularly so price really isnt an issue since the bottle will last a long time! (or until it is half gone and I have a party!)
Awesome brother. Yeah I like the reposado but as a scotch drinker your palate will be more in tune to the extra Anejo, Anejo. It will be interesting to see what your able to find. Great to hear people figuring out what they like instead of going with the standard stuff they see from marketing and big brands. Not saying they are bad, but there is allot of amazing stuff out there to explore. Cheers to that!
@@drinkdestinations I'll be sure to post back here when I get a chance to head to the stores and see what I find. Also, thank you for your service!
@@lew-e thanks brother and thank you for your support in what I’m doing. 👊🏻
👍
Thanks 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
Want to see bai ju sometime in this series please
Any distillery making this I should check out?
I have no clue man. But I will be waiting to watch when you do find one. Don’t travel too much yo. Be safe out there. The world is shit right now!
how do i get my family's tequila to appear on you channel. (honest reviews obviously appreciated).
hit me up if interested.
Just reach out to me at my email on the about section.
@@drinkdestinations DONE
Im a ex heroin and meth addict, never drank untill I quite dope been drinking 1800 silver for a year or so now, silver tequilla is my best friend
Wow, glad you escaped those addictions and hope your doing well. At one time I was throwing back booze after military deployments and it controlled and Almost ruined my life. Balance and moderation is key. Cheers and a I love a great Blanco at the end of the day. Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinationsthank you brother and much respect my man, fr, thats very true about moderation and self controle
Still didn’t answer the question, which should a beginner buy?
My advice is to get a few people who want to explore tequila and each bring a bottle of 100 percent agave Blanco or whatever style you like and try them side by side. You will see that no two are the same and you will see what you actually like and what you don’t. Volans is my favourite Blanco along with wild common and or Cascahuin.
You didn't mention caramel infused/colored tequila or gold tequila? Or is it not worthy mentioning.
Carl Darl thanks for the message and in the full episode we discuss Mixto quickly and not to much detail which describes everything you mentioned. I’m with you, stay away from that stuff and it’s definitely worth mentioning.
@@drinkdestinations Thank you!
Carl Darl thanks you brother. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Hi, 1) how fake is Hornitos plate tequila? Haha .. 2) best place to buy good tequila? Thank you 🙏🏼
I think sip tequila is a good on-line platform to find rare and great selections on tequila. I personally haven’t used them but I’ve heard great things about them. siptequila.com/
As far as Hornitos, I would search on tequila match maker app about this. Cheers and hope this helps. -Jeff
The one that gets you F’d up lol
Hahahahhaha
From the video: listen and learn from the expert, not from the hype.
💯💯💯💯. Hope you like these new short clips with specific information🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
100 percent agave tequila. Hennessy cognac
Oh yeahhhhhhh💯💯💯
Lol. 2:09. Anjeo? Did someone forget to proofread this video? 😀
Hahahahhaa was drinking to much tequila during proof reading. Thanks for the catch and great eye. I missed it. Cheers, -Jeff
Can you big boys let me pass? I brought tequila
😀😀😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Patron is not good?
I think it’s good. It’s just when you start trying other brands you start to figure out what you like and don’t like.
I don't like the Blanco. It isn't aged well. Many blanco tequilas are immediately bottled. No good.
The golden Patron is amazing!
Hahahahaha definitely understand and the best thing is that you know what you like and don’t like. It’s great to hear this. I find so many people don’t know what they enjoy drinking. -Jeff
People who call themselves "purists" generally mean elitists. His disdain for the reposados and anjeos ...and the people who drink/enjoy them tells me he's biased and that pretty much discounts his opinion ...in my opinion.
Thanks so much for the message and see your point. I had a different experience and didn’t get any disdain from him, just a whole bunch of information about the different varieties that I had no clue prior to filming. Based off the info provided I’m able to make better choices on what I want to explore more of which I’m currently doing with reposados. -Jeff
Lol why do these colonizers think they’re experts in crafts/traditions that aren’t theirs… typical.
Clayton is one of the most passionate people about tequila and very knowledgeable. Couldn’t of choose a better person to learn from. -Jeff
really good video, ill be checking your videos all day long, those are very interesting, thanks for uploading them
