    Honestly, I thought I hated tequila until I tried a quality one. Bought a ~$55 bottle of a reposado. It brought out such nice flavors that really deserve to be sipped and enjoyed. I'll also make it into a sort of old fashion with: 2 oz tequila of choice, a barspoon of agave nectar, 1-2 dashes of orange bitters, garnished with an expressed orange peel. It's a refreshing way to wind down!

      I was too scared to try any type of tequila for all of my 20's due to having had the dry-heave hangovers from my teenage era experiments with Jose gold. By age 32 I was a big whiskey and rum fan. But after trying a bunch of different decent quality tequilas I was a fan right away. Such a shame that Jose and the cheap crap unfairly ruined tequila's reputation for alot of us "back in the day". The tequila scene back then wasn't anything like what it is now.

    Something to keep in mind:
    The ñ in Añejo breaks down to two sounds (an 'n' sound and a 'y' sound). A syllabication would be something like An-ye-ho. I thought I was on a 100k sub channel with the quality, keep it consistent. This is good stuff. Also, glassware isn't talked about as much but it does enhance or detract from the drinking experience (whether it's water or juice or booze)

    Thank you! I steered so clear of tequila as a young 20 something because of the drinking/party culture around it and then decided to give it (Patron Silver) a go at a bartenders recommendation. And I love it. I'm not a fan of most alcohol. I'm an avid taster but never found "my alcohol genre" until tequila.
    It's amazing how similar it is to drinking a good whiskey! It's like writing off the entire world of whiskey because I had only seen and tasted fireball!

    Also another big factor in the quality of 100% Agave tequila is the cooking methods. There is a huge difference between a tequila that uses stone brick ovens and a tequila that uses a diffuser.
    So not all 100% agave tequila are the same quality. Generally stone brick oven is the best method for cooking.

      I didn't find out about diffusers and additives until watching some videos on YT. Then after some research I found out that half of the stuff I was drinking was diffuser tequila. I won't buy and support the diffuser stuff now that I know about it. Diffusers are like a blatant slap in the face to the time-honored way of crafting a quality product, just like how cheap American blended whiskey is it's own sacrilege of sorts. I guess they both have their place if you will, but not in my house.

    Used to work in a few bars quite some time ago and the 100% Agave thing was one of the biggest things that changed my stance and outlook on tequila. Growing up being a teen or young adult at parties, usually IF tequila was there it was Jose Cuervo garbage and once in a while somebody would bring Patron because it was the rappers drink of that time.
    I learned there wasn't just blancos and that too really changed things for me. The first Anjeo and Reposado's I had completely changed my views on the taste. I generally prefer Anjeo tequila's with Don Juilio being one of my favorites, but for a good party tequila most Reposado's work just fine for it as well as making good cocktails.

    Tiny Spanish lesson, if you ever see an N with a squiggle above it, you were supposed to add a Y to the end of that N.
    So the proper Annunciation would be “An-ye-ho”

    I'm from Guadalajara, 30 minutes away from Tequila, yes there's a lot of tequila qualities, the 100% agave you usually can drink alone while other tequilas you can get a prepared drinks like the famous Cantaritos, and it will taste good too. You should make a video on Cantaritos

    At 31, I finally decided to give tequila another chance after only having Jose gold when I was younger, and it was always as a shot forced on me. It was vile. I bought Espolon blanco yesterday and surprisingly enjoy it a lot, palomas might be a new favorite drink.

    My preferred Sangrita is made with tomatoes, orange juice, lime juice and a selection of onions, peppers, garlic, limes and oranges in a cheese cloth for steeping. If you're like me, it'll be a flavor like you've never tasted and totally awesome.

    I have a bottle of tequila I bought in Cozumel. It is made from from fully mature blue agave and aged 12 years. It is smooth and sweet, but it wasn't cheap. They only make 1800 bottles of this tequila each year. It's the real deal.

    the tequila you're showing I saw at the store but haven't tried yet myself. I just had one called Luchador at a little bar and really enjoyed sipping it while my buddies straight shot it down their throat. I don't care if they thought that was weird but I know for the price of a shot it would be dumb to not savor it.

    @od1401 Před 2 lety

    Got a question for you if you have a minute to read and answer:)
    Whiskey, particularly islay single malts like Laphroaig and Lagavulin are my favourite drinks. Failing that other scotch single malts. I also love quality ales and lagers as my 2nd choice or 1st choice if I need to pace myself. I like a good quality gin with a bright and juniper forward flavour especially in a G+T as well.
    I hate vodka, rum and brandy. Wine I can take or leave but I prefer dry white wine if I'm stuck having wine.
    In essence I like strong notes like smoke, wood, citrus, and acidity. I don't like sweetness most of the time, (with some whiskey exceptions), and I absolutely detest dried fruit/prune/apricot style flavours.
    Do you think someone with my tastes would like a good quality tequila? I have never tried a proper tequila in my life and yiu have me curious!

    • @SlightlyCultured
      @SlightlyCultured  Před 2 lety +1

      Hey OD! After reading this, I actually think you might LOVE Mezcal! It's still made from agave but has strong notes of smoke and wood! I have a video on it too hehe. However, if you were to go for a tequila, from the sounds of it, I would go with an aged tequila (Anejo or Reposado). It's going to be much more similar to a scotch than just blanco tequila! Let me know if this was helpful!

    • @od1401
      @od1401 Před 2 lety

      @@SlightlyCultured Thank you for the advice! I watched your mezcal video and the notes you describe are right up my alley. I also did some research and came to find that the exact mezcal you had in that vid (montelobos) is not only affordable but one of the smokiest (smoke being my favourite flavour profile) and very highly reviewed mezcals.
      I have a bottle on the way to arrive in 2-3 days :) I can't wait to try it - thanks again!

    • @oscaraldretee
      @oscaraldretee Před 2 lety +1

      Crazy enough we have a bigger selection if tequila in the states. Many distilleries cannot sell in Mexico and can only sell out of country. Most tequila in Mexico is between 35 and 38 percent which is why many people think it is smoother. USA tequila is normally 40%. Fortaleza is any excellent old world tequila that is additive free. It is sold as Los Abuelos in Mexico, id recommend that since you cannot technically buy Los Abuelos here.

  • @samuelstephens9921
    @samuelstephens9921 Před 2 lety

    Agave processing is really the difference in tequila quality. Diffuser being the cheapest (anything under $20 and Casamigos surprisingly). Enclave being the middle ground like that Espolon you had at the beginning. Then you get your brick oven baked, Teramana actually offers this method at a very reasonable price.

    • @SlightlyCultured
      @SlightlyCultured  Před 2 lety

      Its crazy, I've heard alot of good things about Teramana!

    • @oscaraldretee
      @oscaraldretee Před 2 lety

      Teremana is made at NOM 1613 which is also part of NOM 1416 and two others. All known to use diffuser. Teremana is a decent artificially flavored tequila but its just that, artificial. For the pure experience there are several verified additive free tequilas. Crazy enough NOM 1492 (Patron) is verified additive free and has tons of good expressions contrary to popular belief. Try ArteNom 1146 which is made where Tears of Llorona is made!
