My philosophy is to avoid celebrity spirits. I feel like I'd only be paying for the name and not for quality.
That's spot on like 99% of the time.
@@Lui_Fern have you ever had a good celebrity anything? Not just tequila but any other alcohol or even a product in general?
From what I’ve read anyone with enough money can get a tequila brand. I think it’s all the same tequila just different bottles.
@@jackbrady86Maynard James Keenan is a rockstar and the wine he makes is very good.
@@Nick-cp5ob sure it is
Lui, I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m learning so much. Slowly training to be a bartender as a side gig and I have recently bought practically everything I need for my home setup to start practicing. You are the cocktail guru 🙏
Woooo! Happy to help my friend 😁🙏
Respect the honesty 👍🏼
Great review Lui, all your reviews have been 100% right and thanks for being honest in your reviews!
Thank you friend! Happy you think so 😁🙏
Thank you Lui, for your honest reviews.
This tequila was recommended to me by someone who claimed to love tequila....as a real tequila lover I felt like I had taken a sip of the most artificial tasting tequila I ever drank in my life. I don't mind paying for the good stuff like Don Julio 1942 but baby this isn't worth the price-tag. This should be $25 at the most. Lui has a new subscriber in me...very honest and on point review. Wish I saw this video before wasting my money.
This is the perfect channel for me. I’m realising that I THOUGHT I didn’t like tequila,but in fact I’ve probably only ever had poor tequila. Excellent advice and thanks for the honesty. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks friend! That really makes me happy to hear 😁🙏
love the content as always thanks for sharing all your knowledge particularly on tequila and cachaca. one personal inquiry though is having watched your channel for a while I would say I've grasped the idea that any celebrity product is going to be bad for tequila lovers, but I would appreciate if you could share which non-celebrity products are also overhyped that we should be avoiding, not just the celebrity ones. maybe for mezcal too since there seem to be lots of new mezcal brands capitalising on the hype and it would be great to know which bullets to dodge (especially since theres no mezcal on tequila matchmaker).
Hmmm great suggestion! Thank you! I'll have to take that one into consideration 😁👍
Happy you're enjoying the content btw.
Thanks for the honest review.
Thanks for watching! 🤗
LUI!!! 24 Times distilled is a good thing, right!!! Another great review!!! Thanks!!!
Hahahaha if you say so Tim
Thank You For Educating me on Aged Tequila 😉👍😎
My pleasure friend! 😁🙏
I have realize in the last couple of years that tequila is actually the spirit of my choice. Never thought tequila can actually be a very enjoyable product.
Have always trying to find something pleasant to drink and I found your channel and I have done some taste on my own and you are on point in what you recommend.
Bought a bottle of El Tesoro añejo and I quite enjoy it.
Keep up the good work and keep exposing the crappy stuff out there, there is no need to waste our very hard earn money.
You have earn a subscriber for sure.
Thanks for the review Lui. Hopefully one of these days a celebrity tequila brand surprise you in a good way. 🥃😊
I sure hope so hahaha eventually some have to be good right?
I will try it next time!
Lui, i just cracked the El Tequileno Reposado and Del Maguey Mezcal, their unreal flavor wise, thanks for your help choosing some awesome drinks
@5:37 the frustration is at a boiling point...That's why I stay clear of "celebrity spirits"
It's a waste of an agave plant, why go through all of that hard work just to make a shit drink, if you're going to make a drink make it right.
I bought a bottle of La Gritona yesterday. It was so good! Excellent tequila! I already finished it. #GGMU
Pura verdad!!!
Can you review the Mi Familia Flores line of tequila. They have an anejo cristalino that I quite enjoy, as well as the regular anejo and extra anejo. I'd like to hear your opinion.
Do you have videos about sipping tequila vs cocktail or shooter tequilas?
I appreciate when you break down the poor quality in these reviews! I always say you can use the celebrity spirits (or other low end products) as a teaching opportunity. Use them to show the levels of tequila quality. Like with wine, people think Yellow Tail is good (and if they enjoy it, great) but when someone tells me they are going to get some or some other something I consider to be swill, I don't stop them but simlply tell them to also get X bottle and do a comparison with it at the same time and take notes on the differences they get, then come back and do it again. I want people to learn why something isn't great and something else is good beyond just saying so. Someone should tell these celebrities to do the same thing.
ARETTE ARTESANAL is marketed as smooth. Can you review arette?
This is honestly a really good tequila tbh
It’s really good!!
You nailed it Lui; the NOM gives you 95% of the answer. And just walk past Cristalinos in the liquor store.
Right?! It's crazy to me that this is made at the same place that makes cuervo.
Trying to explain the NOM to friends is a minor mission of mine when explaining sipping tequila vs takilya shots that most folks have
@@wg2060 hahahaha for real. It's very difficult to explain.
What about the Anejo Coramino?
Would be nice to review some additive-free celebrity tequilas that are a great bargain, such as INSÓLITO or SANTO FINO.
I’m drinking it now, and it taste great. This my new Tequila. It’s literally Smooth, Balanced Mellow and taste beautiful my honest review and I’m a heavy Tequila guy. This is a 100% bad review. I’m not being biased. I’m a realest. Idk what Gran Coramino dude reviewing but I’m drinking Gran Coramino Reposado right now and it tastes great.
😂😂😂😂 okay tequila guy. I hope you enjoy it
I was in the package store today and they had a lady with a display setup of this tequila. When she told me it was Kevin Hart's I Immediately told her I stay away from celebrity spirits.
She said this was better and aged in wine barrels same thing he mentioned here. She poured me a dash and expected me to form an opinion.
I told her politely I'll pass. Thanks for being honest in your review!!!!
Your missing out and never refuse a sip when it's free 😂😂😂
As long as you like tequila take a free taste. What's the worst that can happen you like it or you hate it costs you nothing and allows you to give ur opinion. 🎉
I really enjoy this one and think he's unfairly judged it. I'm a hard-core tequila alcoholic and have drank more brands etc than most in a lifetime.
But only comparison for cristiliano I have is dobel anejo repo blend and mj tequila.
I don't like cristiliano either but it does limit hangovers and can bring out unique properties of flavor wood Ester can hide.
This as a sipper or mixer may surprise you. As for tasting the wine 🍷 yes kind of but I like to pretend not..😅😅 mi Campo reposado is wine blended tequila and that is by far the nastiest tequila ever made. Weird and gross and instant hangover and acid from that.
Want to make a drunk stop drinking? Give him mi Campo walk away and I bet they turn their life around 😂😂😂.
But don't be so closed minded on celeb tequila remember Cabo wabo? That was one of the best on the market before sammy hagar sold it. Yet I can't speak on it these days as it's hard to come by near me.
A celeb endorsed product isn't always a simple rebranding there is a lot of work involved in it. Some are sure just an association like MJ product. Then others are dedicated. The rocks tequila is dog crap 💩 but hey Kevin up stepped him big time with this line.
This bottle looks great on a bar and is female friendly and not intimidating and gives you a premium taste feel and experience. A pride type liquor with a young person vibe. It comes across in taste as well.
On smell it's not bad either has an inviting mature yet youth thing going on. You drink it and feel the hard work behind the bottle.
If you want an example of how it tastes jose traditional repo blended with citrus notes from wine barrels and light chared 1 time use barrels. Then filtered and water added to smooth it out.
It's really not bad. It's not the best thing on the market no but for the price I spent near me $40 plus tax. That price point it's hard to beat for how good and interesting it is.
You may overlook for parties or bar setting it's a conversational piece. Female friendly as well and has sex appeal and celeb who's funny behind it that everyone knows.
It's just a good time man hate for you to overlook this one if you do enjoy tequila. It's not a waste of money if you can afford it but either way don't pass up a tasting. If you go into with negative mindset you will not enjoy it but keep a clear head on expectations being 50 50 you'll most likely really enjoy it.
Have a nice night 🌙
1 more thing bottle itself no mention of kevin heart and box idk I asked them throw that out for me 😂😂😂 wtf does alcohol need a box.
But either way put a photo of Kevin behind it at a bar setting it's a cool thing or surprise someone by saying it's his brand and get the hype pumped.
That's basically why celeb stuff works in liqour etc.
To be fair without celeb endorsement on all major types of alcohol we wouldn't have modern day options for anything.
Everyone needs a what makes this good or safe approach or a reason to buy a bottle or trust in it. Or even what's that never heard of it pass it by its not my brand. Need the sell factor the sexy to the product.
No matter how good a liqour is without some reason to obtain or sell a new person to it how can it ever sell.
Hence why we get made up stories funny stuff or attitude on bottles to try and sell the product. Lots of fiction for brands not using celebs to try and get attention.
Celeb brands don't need that as much and can be more transparent. So if anything consider that 😅😅😅
It's nuts how important the usa is to major alcohol brands in most categories becoming a thing. And again what sells? Endorsements not product the idea of something special being there until it becomes a coke.
Or if you prefer the Jack Daniel's type house hold name you can't forget.
Great review Lui! I recall hearing that Kevin harts social media is legit by him (probably not to this day) and was semi worried that you might be coerce in this review by "him" reaching out cause he seems like a genuinely cool guy. But your review so informative justifying how this does not represent tequila! thanks for spreading the awareness :)
Gosh i wanted to answer so bad. And i do think he does run his own socials too. It's sad. After i posted an over the top review on my Instagram, he unfollowed me 🥲
@@Lui_Fern !!!!!!! You are a real G!! keep repping great tequilas. We value your anthenticity :D
Sidenote: i listened to a podcast (eric castro's bartender at large) and he had Steven Soderbergh on it. This guy in "hollywood" does it right! I don't know if you reviewed Singani 63 yet but i see you use it. Steven looks like he does the spirit justice and sounds like he knows his stuff!
@@jonlau7937 i made a whole video on IG about how Singani 63 is like the only Celeb Spirit i will 100% endorse every single day of my life. It is amazing and the story is incredible.
@@Lui_Fern incredible! okay, that's why i didn't see it. Ill check it out too ☺️.And the spirit is incredible and I love the story behind it. He seems quite humble about it and clearly not a cash grab. thanks again!!
@@jonlau7937 you're very welcome! It's too obscure of a spirit for it to be a cash grab haha. No one knows what Singani is!
I’m pretty deep into craft beer and whisk(e)y, but am not well versed in tequila.
Maybe it says something that I’m deep into whiskey, maybe it says something that I’m not deep into tequila.
But…
I really liked it. It’s the only tequila I’ve drank neat and enjoyed it. The only tequila I thought “I want to buy that again”. I hate that it has memeLord status as a celebrity spirit, but idc. I think it’s great.
Fwiw I got it for ~$35
Lui I got a quick question for you: why is it that cristalinos get so much flack when it seems like the exact same process is being done to lots of white rums and no one seems bothered by those? Not trying to defend cristalinos in any way, it just seems like it's seen in a MUCH more negative way when done with tequila than it is in the rum industry
Thats a great question actually. And I have seen that. I do not know how to answer it as im not as knowledgable about rum but if i had to guess id say, it probably has to do with how long it takes to make rum vs tequila and the complexities that go into that. Rum (from mollases) right off of the still can be very harsh and not the most palatable by itself, but even so it is still a trick to make a "white" spirit more palatable. Id say its still a gimick even in rum but not super sure why it isn't called out in rum as much. I think ill need to dive more into that to get a better answer for you.
@Lui_Fern I think part of might have to do with the marketing of them. In the case of Cristalinos, it's marketed a lot as an ultra-premium process and in turn commands a higher price. I've seen a few cristalinos now which have been more expensive than the repos and anejos they're trying to be. In the case of rum though it's not marketed as much and is in most cases they're still the lowest cost option. Could also just be that it's already been a standard practice in the rum industry for a while now, while it's relatively new in the tequila market. You also raise some good points. As I said, not trying to defend cristalinos or call out the rum industry, just something I started thinking about recently. Excited to hear if you come up with anything in the future
@@benvieira3895 of course! And I think your explanation actually makes a ton of sense as well, that process of charcoal filtering, it's not used to sell "super high end, premium " rum so I think t doesn't have as much negative attached to it.
The Lackluster Buster!
Cristalino process is a "defeat the purpose" method to acquiring flavor.
I totally agree. It's so backwards to me.
$60?!? For THAT?!? *Laughs in El Tesoro Anejo* (Which FYI was loved by my two buddies who only prefer to drink blancos ,usually in a mix drink)
This dudes face said it all
I think it was rather ballsy of him to send you his tequila knowing your thoughts on the celebrities who have tequila brands. It also probably has additives.
He didn't send me anything lol. O never responded and i bought the bottle myself haha i did contemplate accepting but that felt icky to me.
He probably doesn’t know how good or bad it actually is. Stick to what you know and be humble to lear what you don’t
The only good "Celebrity" spirit I had was the Lagavulin 11 (Nick Offerman Edition)
I'm glad to see celebrity booze getting the negative attention it deserves. Some restaurants and bars are loaded with this junk, and it crowds out the good stuff. Fortunately, there are a few places that see this trash for what it is and avoid stocking it, but even these places usually have to stock some of this bad booze because their customers ask for it. Casamigos is the big one lately; it is everywhere. It must be designed to appeal to something in the taste preference of Americans since it seems to be very popular with less experienced tequila drinkers. It's been a long time since I've had it. The most recent celebrity tequila I had was Cincoro. I wasn't impressed. It is overly sweet tequila liqueur that costs far more than it should. I won't be trying Gran Coramino unless morbid curiosity drives me to seek out a bad experience.
There are rare exceptions to the general rule that celebrity booze is usually bad and is seldom worth the money. On rare occasions, a celebrity will have an authentic passion and understanding of the booze in question and will invest a lot of resources in making a dream come true. Francis Ford Coppola spent many decades gradually buying up the old Inglenook wine estate, and he finally succeeded at buying the name back from the jug wine producers who had dragged this once great name through the mud. Thanks to his efforts and his money, Inglenook is again producing great wine. I've had some recently, and I was impressed. Celebrities who want to get into booze should follow Coppola's example if they have a genuine passion for it, and if they don't have the passion, they should stay out of it and leave it to the people who know what they are doing.
Wow thank you for such an in-depth comment! I loved reading that. I definitely think more folks should be like Coppola for sure!
The tequila is good..
I sampled it in a liquor store and told the sales person it was garbage fake tequila filled with chemicals, she wasn't happy. I then brought some real tequila.
What is real tequila
@askiani real tequila is made with water, agave, yeast only. No additives or hidden chemicals. Hart's junk has added glycerin, sweeteners etc.
Not natural, fake flavor made in a lab
Great job Lui , smooth tequila 🤮
Thanks friend! 😊
I can't believe how many people buy that swill from the 'Rock'.
What bothers me is that the celebrity probably don’t have any idea what their product taste like. Or if it is good enough for them to attach his or her name to that bottle.
So what’s the point, people will figure out what a crappy product is and they won’t buy period.
No pun intended but Kevin heart really needs a Reality Check!!! 😅
How unfortunate, you'd think after all these bad celebrity tequilas someone would be smart enough to actually make a decent tequila.
The drink is way better than he is claiming it's smooth buttery and great mixer or sipper.
This drink is aimed at a different demographic young people and women. And black people who wouldnt normally like the bite or taste of tequila.
I bet if someone who normally hates tequila would enjoy this. Same time for someone bored of their normal brands this product is strong and flavourful.
Im glad it doesnt taste of wine.... mi campo is exactly why id hate it.
For me this is a 9 out of 10 price to flavor comparing it to dobel cristiliano
Someone brought a bottle to a party, they were so proud and excited. I tried it and I agree, it wasn’t good. Compared to other celebrity tequilas this tasted the least like a tequila but also just a not great tasting. The bottle is beautiful and KH is one of my favorite comedies but this tequila is disappointing. Tfs!
Crazy disapointment
I must be a wack-job. I only drink repesado when I can't get anejo. I know I'm a dork.
It taste like a lie! Had me laughing
Hahahaha 🤣 happy you got some chuckles out of it 😁
This review backfired on Kevin Hart lol unfortunate. But I do wonder if there is any celebrity tequilas that are actually good
😂
I refuse to buy celebrity tequilas, and never understood the point of cristallino. Seems like cristallino let's you hide something.
I 1000% agree with you
Well, he asked... hopefully he knew you'd be honest
Hahahaha i don't think he expected what i said. But I'd much rather be honest.
Do you buy Jordan's or do you want Walmart Sneakers 👟
That is really sad. Truly. Just Sad.
It really is. Because if he made an actual good tequila it would probably be great!
I do also love Kevin Heart, but if these people think I will drink this because his name is attach to it, they have something else going their way.
If it is a good product, then why Not, but it looks like it is just crap.
I went to Big Daddy's liquor last night and was recommended this tequila. Quite possible the worst tequila I have ever tried. It tasted like it was sweetens with sucralose. The tequila flavor was very week. What a really gross tequila!!! These stupid celebrities put their name on liquor, perfume, clothes, etc. to promote sells. Dwyane Johnson's tequila is also gross. I guess he hasn't made enough money that he has to pursue that venue. Casa Amigos is also a bad tequila.
There are a few good celebrity tequilas on the market... this is not one of them!
Great video, really disappointed by celebrites that disrespect agave spirits so they can cash out like George Clooney. Also Kevin Hart isn't funny and his acting is C-tier tripe, like his tequila.
Bias
Imagine a Mexican opening up a Soul Food restaurant.... yeah nah
Ugh. Teremana is NOT for me.
Kevin Hart is chasing money. Everything he does is about putting money in his pocket. How funny is he now?
3:27 - celebrity "cash grab". Spoken like a true naive child who thinks the other distillers /owners do it for something (whatever, you tell us) other than cash. Man grow up.
Kevin Hart is annoying.,.. just yells all the time.
Thank you I will not be spending my $$$$ on this (Coramino or similar hyped)and will stick to the reputable and proven selections!
