Great nose with cooked agave, vegetal/herbal and citrus. Finish has vegetal notes with cooked agave and nice heat. Could easily go into the 90s on this rating. The price pint held me up a bit at just over $200
A blend of different Cascahuin techniques, it’s the most underground pit cooking that pokes through the most on this one—definitely carries a touch of smoke through. Sweet, earthy, mineral, and smoky.
This is a treat of a XA. Great barrel influence on the nose and palate from this one. Nose: cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, oak, black pepper, butterscotch, cinnamon, dried fruit, and butter. Palate: the nose carries over to the palate. Great creamy finish with those barrel notes just lingering.
Single Barrel Private Barrel NY Market Lucked out when visiting the city and dragging the family to Anejo in TriBeCa. This is a delicious unicorn. Is it worth the cost? Certainly debatable, but I found a local retailer who sold me two bottles, so I loved it that much.
Beautiful barrel nose and palate. It’s nice

Sorting through the options can be overwhelming, which is why we always opt to trust the experts. To get their take on a workhorse option, we asked bartenders to share with us their go-to tequilas.
