You spelled tequila wrong in the intro. Lol; tighten up CP!
Damn! Good catch! Maybe drinking tequila while editing videos isn't such a good idea....
@@CuriosityPublic correction, it's a wonderful idea. Stay awesome CP!
A master class in spelling
I feel very good about my life choices when I own 5 out of the 6 bottles shown in the video. Great content as always CPU!
I love this video so much and now I can't wait for your other master classes. Really opens your eyes to other spirits.
Very cool concept guys....This kind of stuff may boost your channel hopefully
I find that Fortaleza pairs best with 3pm meetings when you are working remotely 😛 Seriously, the first smell and sip of Fortaleza Blanco opened my eyes to how incredible tequila is and your channel is what spurred that exploration. Tears, G4, Arte Nom and El Tesoro are all incredible! Have to find the other brands in my area eventually.
Enjoyed the review, Thanks! I just started down this path recently. My purchases included
G4 extra Anejo, Tequila Ocho Anejo, El Tesoro Reposado, Siete Legarus Anejo all super awesome!
Also, Siete Leguas is a good one. I have tried all of the brands you have mentioned with the exception of the Ocho.
Thanks for the link to this one. Just what I wanted.
Really useful video, many thanks.
I needed this video.
Thanks for this guys. I'm on a jouney looking for these tequilas.
Excellent line up. I'm fully behind G4 over the others.
Solid choices
“You can get G4 for cheap…” I think your store is the only place that has prices that low, 99.9% of people will be seeing G4 for $39.99 and up.
Yup
52.99 here in dc
Thank you, Gents! Happy Cinco De Mayo! It's about time TH-cam community is exposed to class promoting naturally made tequila. Hope it goes viral. I love all those lines. I am a fanboy of the G4 3yr XA. Cheers!
Great video guys!
Cheers, thanks!
The G4 repo has gone ballistic in price since this video was released.
How you zoom in @ the Beginning,
Perfectly 💀😂
Cheers friends!🥃🇺🇸
Guys, thanks for the great videos. One question, which is the best internet store to buy tequila? Thanks
Excellent list! Just add one higher proof offering like G4 108 or Fortaleza Still Strength
Yeah, we're definitely going to add those at the intermediate/advanced level
I have always had warmer tequila than what I've heard most people mention. Most say room temperature but I then asked what that was and most responded anywhere from 68-72. Well that's a lot cooler than we keep our house. We are generally around 77°. On a recent rafting trip I put some tequila in a metal insulated canister and by the third day it was probably around 80° or higher (outside temps over 100°) and it was fantastic. I don't worry about my glass warming up a bit anymore.
Appreciate y’all for educating me on additive Tequilas! I always look for 100% Agave on the label now. Been back and forth on buying a Tears but haven’t yet. I’m sure one day I’ll man up and do it!
Cheers! We didn't explain it that well in the video, but brands are allowed to say 100% agave on the label even if they use additives. So check out Tequila Matchmaker's additive free list. It is a great resource
The link of confirmed additive free:
tastetequila.com/2021/confirmed-additive-free-tequila-brands/
There are more obviously, but these have been confined by TM
Additives are to be avoided but the big one to avoid is the use of a diffuser. Traditionally, they used a brick oven (horno) to cook the agave and a stone roller mill (tahona) to extract the resultant juice. In modern times, many good quality tequilas have foregone the horno for an autoclave and the stone roller mill for a steel crushing wheel or shredder/impeller. All of these can still make great tequila. The problem comes with the use of a diffuser and gets even worse with the use of thermal acid hydrolysis where they add hydrochloric acid to the slurry that comes out of the diffuser to convert it to sugar. If you see diffuser, steer well clear of it.
Just what I needed, thanks!
I gotta agree with Roy N below. This is a great episode, but I think it’s more importantly a great concept. I hope y’all do some master class episodes for bourbon, scotch, rum, and gin!
Cheers, thanks!! We definitely have more like this planned.
I have the entire line up ! 😊
Glencairn and Stozle Jarrito work very well as tequila tasting glasses.
These are solid tequilas for anyone who enjoys great additive free tequila, not necessarily for beginners.
Fabulous. Yet in MA G4 $45 up
You guys should do a little episode on Roca patron
Great info. The experts may want to pay the big bucks for Riedel glassware but I'll go with a standard champagne flute so you can multi purpose for a few bucks. Cheers!
On a recent cruise I brought my own tequila and used champagne flutes exclusively and yes they were very good. I bought the Riedel Overture right after. I have several glencairn glasses that are nice too.
Appreciate the suggestions. Would have been better if you spelled out the names on the screen - really helps us beginners. Thanks!!!
I heard you touch on it late in the video but wanted to ask your guys’ thoughts on El Tesoro. I saw the lineup in the liquor store and was thinking about grabbing a bottle this coming weekend but wasn’t sure which one to go for
It is a solid brand. Haven't had it in quite a while, so not sure what from the lineup would be the best to start with, sorry.
@@CuriosityPublic you guys would absolutely try their extra añejo. Absolutely Elite extra añejo (looks like a reposado from other brands in color) so so pure and complex at the same time. Gorgeous presentation as well. I have found it as cheap as $109 which is a steal
I subscribed and I enjoy your videos, as I recently found them. I've been doing this for many many years, but if I had to pick 3 XA's, I would substitute the Arette 4-5 year version for Siete leguas D'Antaño, which is exceptional. Of course Arette 10-year is phenomenal, but very hard to find, but a whole different animal from their other XA.
Thanks! You're a legend Lou!
@@CuriosityPublic- ❤️❤️
One small correction. In the beginning you said, “Blanco is the most pure form, no additives.”
Not all Blanco Tequilas are additive free.
(But yes, the ones you suggested are.)
Also, I respectfully disagree about the glass. To me, I get more flavors out of a Tequila that is slightly warmed up and therefore I do use a Glencairn glass.
Great video though!
😃🥃
Good catch - even though the CRT has issued clarifications that blancos are not allowed to use additives, it definitely still happens (we've tasted them!). A lot of brands get around the ambiguity and call the additive laden blanco a Joven instead.
@@CuriosityPublic True and I wish the CRT would do more to try and stop Blanco tequilas from having additives in them.
I appreciate you guys pushing the additive free tequilas!
😃🥃
All great choices. But that is over $750 in tequilas you have there. Not really what a beginner will likely choose. The first three are $190 but once you get into XAs they start to be big money. Where are you located where you can find G4 so cheap. It's $56 here in the Houston area. I can never seem to find those great deals.
Hey guys !
you guys should review casa mexico by mario lopez, the enejo is delicious
Did you say Tears Of Llarona isn’t available anymore? I see it online, and not secondary.
It is available. Just not the batch we featured.
Episode idea- Get five different shapes and sizes of glasses and compare the nose and flavor in the different glasses. I think you will be surprised with the results.
Getting it warm?
It should be enjoyed at room temperature yes no?
that g4 repo bottle is $71 near me
those are some fancy water bottles
It just kills me prices you pay for your tequilas. Where I live it’s hard to find good tequilas period. Plus (not kidding) prices are about 4 to 5 times as much as you guys are paying! Luckily I have all those except can’t find G4 it has not been available. Very tasty lineup. I think they are definitely more then beginner tequilas.
I kinda think this lineup is not really for beginners, it really pushes into tequila nerdery. Beginner-level tequilas are more like Espolon, Olmeca Altos, and maybe Cimarron.
Especially since most of these choices are hard to find atm.
@@ryane521 Next up will be the “beginner”bourbon masterclass featuring Blanton’s, Booker’s, a Russell’s Reserve store pick and Four Roses barrel strength 🙄
I would disagree. These are high quality, all natural spirits that are still reasonably priced and avoid some of the harshness of lower-priced spirits like Espolon and Olmea Altos.
@@bdwilcox “Reasonably priced” yeah I disagree with that, go check out the other comment on this vid where the bottle prices are listed, these are all approaching the higher end, assuming the average beginner can even find them without driving to 2-3 liquor stores. IMO I think beginner spirits should be the ones available at an average grocery store and not a specialty shop.
Great point - and we maybe didn't make it clear - but this video isn't about cheaper tequilas - this is about introducing someone to the *flavors* of tequila at each step of the aging process. A bargain tequila video would be very different, and we wouldn't recommend introducing someone to tequila with those brands in general. Two different analyses.
Holy hell I wish tequila prices around me were ANYTHING like what these guys quote off. It’s at least double, and we have poor selection. The South East is a horrible area for quality spirits.
I just priced the first four at my local "national wine and stuff chain store" (the other two weren't available)
Tequila Ocho Plata = $49.99 😐
G4 Reposado = $69.99 🤨
Fortaleza Anjeo = $97.99 😒
Arete Extra Anjeo = $139.99 😵💫
Maybe I'll start my Tequila journey the next time I'm in Cali, prices here in Florida always suck. Though I did find a bottle of Blanton's last week, at a Target of all places, and paid MSRP for it. $59.99+tax? Take my money!
This is exactly what I was referring to in my comment, this lineup is really not for tequila beginners, sorry CP, I think you’re a bit out of touch on this one, even though it’s a good concept for a video.
Yep. I'm headed "out of state" on this one.
Sam's club near me has the ocho plata for 34.99, south gate ca
Tequila ocho plata is 34.99 at my local Sam's club (south gate, ca)
Agreed. Much higher pricing here in Boston. Even in bigger retail especially G4
Try to find something in the $30 range. Anything less will most likely be in a plastic bottle with no cork and will most likely banish your soul to the Shadow realm.
Beware… you start out by learning about these fine tequilas that you always avoided because you thought Cuervo was tequila. Then, you discover Mezcal, which you always avoided because you don’t like smoky booze, then you get tired of the usual Espadin agave in mezcal and start trying other agave like Jabali, Madrecuixe, Tobala, etc. and you are hooked on crazy stuff like La Venenosa Sierra del Tigre Raicilla, which smells like blue cheese and tastes like berries and a hint of smoke. So beware, There is a mind blowing world of agave out there, and it all starts with these excellent tequila brands.
Soon, you're strung out on Sotols which aren't even agave. It's only downhill from there.
Sounds interesting, can you tell me more 👁 🧐
Day three asking for Reb Breast Drink through. - I do find the first pours need to breath
Just so you know, it'll be at least a few months before we could even film it, but it's definitely in the pipeline
@@CuriosityPublic appreciate it! I’m a bit new to whiskeys, first one I ever bought was red breast 12 and now always have one in stock. Just amazing stuff. Glad it’s in the works, I’ve heard the cask strength is amazing.
Fortaleza performs very poorly in your blind tastings.
You all look like the guys who know all about the liquor and nothing about women 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why does Jules always make face expressions (super annoying btw) and noises and not contribute to the videos? It's mostly Dillon & Dutch that does all of the talking???
First of all!, where do you live at that you can get these bottles for that cheap please?
