shellylh Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Nice reporting, Shelly. I really like Don Julio and also prefer it to the Herradura, which is very good in itself. I haven't tried any of the tequilas that you prefer to the Don Julio. My favorite tequila is Cuervo Reserva de la Familia. It's even smoother than DJ so you may not like it as much as I do. IMO, it was a great deal when Costco carried it for $73 but it's too expensive at regular selling price. Haven't seen that one and a quick check says it isn't at my local store. I'll see if I can find it to try at a restaurant. Mikey: What is that one? It looks kinda fancy. I would really like to try Casa Noble Single Barrel Extra Anejo. I forgot to mention that I tried some Pura Vida at the store the other day and wasn't impressed with it. So I will be skipping that bottle. I have a bottle of La Fortaleza (Abuelos) Anejo on route from NoCal right now from a certain friendly HCer. Cannot wait to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 From someone that had a Tequila bar (~100 bottles) in their house. Clase Azul Plantino http://www.bevmo.com/Shop/ProductDetail.aspx?N=40+4294967184+4294966731&area=spirits&ProductID=25989&Ns=Name|0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Just got home and Mayberry is boiling tonight. Made a quick highball with Dickel Tennessee whiskey and Fever Tree Spring Water Soda. Tasty and refreshing. I have had a couple of shots of Clase Azul reposado when a bartender was showing off. It was ok but i don't think it is as good as the Fortaleza reposado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelius Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 FFF Spazzerack!...Alpha King blended with Robert the Bruce then aged in a Bourbon barrel with anise & orange...40 IBU & 9% ABV--not bad...really didn't think I'd be able to get past the anise, but it works...

Have you tried both the reposado and anjeo? Which do you like better. Guess I should have asked this before I had the anejo sent here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have the bianco and the reposado but have not tried the anejo. I'm curious how you find the Fortaleza in your rankings, now that you have a bottle available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Sipping some Fortaleza and Casa Noble Anejo (not at the same time). They are both so good. I do think I might like the CN better. The Fortaleza is bit like candy. More testing is in order (although I need to work on a talk for this weekend so the testing may have to wait).

luvdunhill Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I also had an Espolon margarita and some straight. I am a tequila simpleton, as I didn't mind it straight at all. Mixed was great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
