      @Paul9221 I just checked and they have really great prices on all the Don Fulano tequilas,especially the overproof Fuerte. That one’s a steal as is the Extra Anejo at $159.

        Thanks for looking, Jett! Don Fulano is now at the top of the list! I'll report back, but it might be a couple of weeks since I just picked up Herencia.

        Blanket-line all the things!!!

          I normally don’t like beyond reposado aged agave spirits because I find they take on a cloying note. One of the interesting styles that I find more enjoyable is when they filter anejo or extra anejo through activated charcoal. Don Julio 70 is an example of that that I enjoyed.

          Still prefer blanco or reposado generally though.

          Think it, be it.

            @mclaincausey I would say that over 90% of the tequila I drink is blanco,and I won’t try a repo or an anejo from a distillery unless I’ve loved their blanco, because the blancos,in my opinion, are the foundation of tequila,and I can’t imagine a crappy blanco becoming a great repo or anejo. The old garbage in garbage out. I try,when possible, to find out what kind of barrels were used in the aging process,as I’m partial to bourbon barrel aging,because of my extensive bourbon background. I ‘ve had some tequilas that had been aged in cognac,or scotch barrels and didn’t especially like them. I would love to try the Cascahuin repo and anejo tequilas but I’m not optimistic about finding them. Last but not least. Would you consider the 1123 a blanco or maybe a repo?

              Makes sense to me.

              I consider it a reposado I guess but very lightly rested. Which is really good for someone with my preferences.

              Think it, be it.

                  @mclaincausey I haven’t had every tequila in that series,but definitely my favorite of the ones that I have had. Last time I was in California,I popped into a convenience store and the had an aisle for spirits,and there it was for $54.95. I immediately bought 2 bottles as I had paid $70 in NYC and it was a special order. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. My wife spits it out. Go figure.

                      Trying to finish a bottle if campari so I can switch over to the Leopold version, all this talk of tequila, and having an almost finished bottle of cocchi Americano had me mixing up a riff inspired from a La Rosita I might as well call a La Rosalia.

                          @WhiskeySandwich I’ve been doing something similar this past weekend,but using tequila,and some lime. Kind of like a tequila Mojito,which is also kind of like a Julep.

                            @Jett129 that sounds good! Might have to try something like that. Can’t go wrong with tequila and lime.

                                        @ARNC I’ve been wanting to try that as it’s pretty reasonably priced in the states. My only hesitation has been the fact that it’s kind of on the young side.

                                          @Jett129 you probably have access to more products than I do in the UK. Definitely worth a try - imho it’s better than the usual suspects for Manhattans. Want to try the Balboa at some point but will wait till it’s on offer!
