Don Julio 1942

“Very vanilla forward, and very sweet. I was hoping for more agave, too. It's smooth and has a great nose, but you can probably do better for the price.”

El Tesoro Extra Añejo

“This expression is a beautifully smooth mix of agave and barrel aging. It's clearly aged, but hasn't lost its youth.”

Don Julio Real

“I was able to try this at half price at a local bar's generous happy hour pricing. Extremely smooth with prominent oak and vanilla, almost reminding me of bourbon. There is agave present, but it's muted. It's very good and worth trying, but very expensive.”

Olmeca Altos Plata

“As a sipper, it's good but lacks some vibrancy. Good notes of agave, black pepper, citrus, and a touch of grass and earth. As a mixer, it's fantastic: it provides all of the right notes to complement the flavors in your drink without being overly sweet or artificial. An excellent choice in its price range.”
