In my opinion, you should do it without knowing what brands were poured.
I agree to a certain extent. The issue is that since this is my restaurant and bar and I film alone I rely on friends to come and help for filming (like Lucas did here) he doesn't know the layout of my bar and the organizations for this video.
I guess what I could've done was put a pool of tequilas off to the side and he could pick from them rather than determining the rounds.
@@Lui_Fern I have only started drinking good tequila the last 2 years and have found your channel very informative and helpful. Thank you
@@Lui_Fern Exactly I was just thinking that. Or you could’ve said both or neither good be additive free to make it even more tough if your gonna be considered the tequila head hauncho
@@Elite_Employee I'll be honest with you, I'm not trying to be a tequila head hauncho. Just a bartender who owns a bar and likes sharing information and drinking good spirits. That's it.
LOL! That’s true what Carlton said that you should have done without knowing which brands are poured cause most likely you already did research or something on those brands and maybe tasted it before as you said it’s your bar…Why do a blind taste test when it’s not really a blind taste test 😂
I have to say. Up until recently, when I saw one of your videos on additive free tequila, I hade zero idea about what was going on. Let me just say that I’ve since gone out and purchased a bottle of Lalo, La Gritonas, and a bottle of Fortaleza blanco ( luckily for $65 ). And oh my god. Mind blown. All this time I’ve been in the dark, thinking I loved Tequila. Not realizing that I was drinking garbage. Thank you for opening my eyes to truly great Tequilas. Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Wooooo! This comment right here is what I love to hear. It's such a difference when you finally taste really good tequila. I used to swear I didn't drink tequila because all I had ever experienced was Jose Cuervo gold.
I totally agree with you and exact same experience here. Thanks Lui!
Good job! You validated what most people should know. People need to stop buying crap overpriced tequila. Plenty of offerings out there that are quality, delicious, and additive-free.
Thank you. That's all I'm trying to do 😁🙏
I'd suggest a future video with a double blind: let them a pool of bottles and have them not even make it a 1v1 between additive & non-additive free, only focusing on which one's good and which one isn't at the time you taste them.
Or triangulation where two are the same and one is different and trying to pick the odd one out. Only seen this done with food and NA drinks though.
Great video and I loved the dancing while the drinks were being poured.
Thanks! Love your channel.... so much fun.
Happy you're enjoying it 😁🙏
I am having an El Tesoro extra anejo after dinner tonight. I am in love with the stuff!
Ooooh, asked about Casamigos Anejo on another one of your videos... its the additives I was tasting, should have known
Humbly Apologized, AND subscriber for life
Lui... Love your Videos... Keep it up... One question, with the Tequila craze happening and Fortaleza the Number 1 bottle everyone is looking for just like bourbon hunting Eagle Rare, Blatons, Buffalo Trace, etc., do you still feel Fortaleza Blanco will be worth the current pricing? I've seen a bottle once in for $99 (i'm in Northern New Jersey) when I've been out bourbon / tequila hunting... I don't see the price ever coming back down to msrp in this current market... So would you still think its worth it at the price i've seen it at? Thanks!!!!!
Great video keep up the good work. 🥃
Thanks, will do! Happy you enjoyed it
Well done! You made me want to buy a bottle of cazcane, this tequila looks amazing, but I don't know how I can get it delivered here in Belgium.
Palate fatigue is every mans worst enemy
That was awesome. I didn't think you would have a problem but after trying 4 I thought your buds would get messed up quite bad.
Hahaha after the casamigos, my taste buds went haywire. It was rough! But happy it all worked out in the end 😄
Wow, without cleansing your palate between tastings, very impressive Lui!
It was almost what ruined me 😂😂😂 but thank you!
You are doing awesome work cause I really love tequila and love making Palomas and margaritas. Please keep educating us
Thank you! Will do! I have a fun video coming out where I make a Paloma three different ways! should be out soon 😁🙏
@@Lui_Fern I look forward to that very much
Peace and love family for the information you share I learned a lot about the spirits. And the song Steely Dan made hey nineteen the quavo gold and find Colombian. why to this day I still drink quavo gold LOL
The cimmaron vs Jose is wayyyy too easy 😂
Nicely done
Once again, nice video. I'm not a huge fan of tequila but so far I've only had Jose Cuervo silver, Patron silver and Espolon reposado. Tell me your honest opinion: if I ever got my hands on one of the tequilas you praise, would I even notice the difference in a cocktail?
Absolutely. Especially if you have only ever had Jose Cuervo silver. The Cimarron inna cocktail vs Jose or even patron. I think would blow you away
"You'll hear the additives being poured" 😂
😂😂😂
A few requests. I can’t find good videos on such items. How to order a cazuela voladora / cantarito in a US bar. Making sangrita. What’s the difference between a cazuela and cantarito 👀 thank you Lui.
Subscribed!
Thanks friend! 😁🙏
I think this shows you've been a little too critical of Teramana. I've always thought so, but it was cool to see you struggle through that one for me 😂😉
Fun video! You should celebrate by sending me a bottle of Fortaleza! Ohio is a desert when it comes to tequila! 🌵 😄
Your next video should be the battle of the Rot Gut tequilas. Which tequila is the absolute worst? Maybe do it basketball bracket style.
What’s y’all’s take on Santo Fino Añejo?
I've been following you for a wile..... Never doubted you for a second ! Great video !
Thanks friend 😁😁🙏 happy you enjoyed this one!
nice work!
Thanks my friend! 😁😁🙏
NGL I’m shocked how long Cazcanes vs Rock Bottom took haha
The crapamigos shicked my taste buds lol
Can you please review Volcan de Mi Tierra tequila?
Last week I was forced to have Patron as my only option. 😢 You can really tell when you only drink additive free tequila. Great Video Bruh 👍🏻
Thanks friend! Happy you enjoyed this one
Patron is additive free lol
@@tshockwave1 no it isn’t, it was a long time ago .
@@TheMRBOSS899they might add stuff now, but it’s not nearly as sweet & artificial tasting as Casamigos, don julio, clase azul etc
@@DzigaJerkov you are correct, I agree totally. It’s definitely better tasting.
Hey if I’m making Margaritas have no problem using Patron 😁
Can you review 3 generaciones?
Even though Volans is one of Felipe's, I don't think it gets enough love. Everyone is different of course, but for me, I prefer Volans to G4.
I love Volans! It's such a great brand and it's underrated IMO as well.
Trying to spend $100-300 on a good bottle what do you recommend
Good Job. I was surprised that you did not tell the crap Tequilas just from the smell. I was given to understand the the additives have a very sweet smell. But then I don't drink celebrity Tequila.
Not all of them have a strong aroma. And the thing about tasting is that I should've cleansed the palate more. You can shock your taste buds and sense and it gets difficult hahaha
Good job. If you really want to test yourself, you could do it in rounds of 4 so the answer isn't 50/50.
Can you review cenote tequila
What is your opinion on DeLeon tequila ?
Do this for rum!
This is the way to do it
Thank you!
What’s your opinion on Number Juan extra añejo?
This isn’t a blind test, you knew the brands before testing them. A real blind would be you trying to guess the brands given to you without knowing brands and not stopping the video. Let video run, no edits. Oh yeah and do it live. Now that would take real balls!!
If I did this live it would be an hour and no one would watch it lol. But you make some decent points.
It’s not that type of blind test.. he’s blind tasting between two bottles at a time. Plenty do it this way
The test wasn't to guess the brands but to identify which ones had additives, the method he used was fine.
@@DzigaJerkov if plenty jumped off a cliff would you also jump off of that cliff???
I enjoy the content. But doing it live would make it more believable.
I always have a hard time with tasting tequila if I drink a beer before hand or I’m trying more than one tequila. The oils from different tequila lingers for awhile. Always drink the expensive tequila first 😊
If you could only choose one tequila under$100, that isn't Fortaleza ( because it seems impossible to find right now), which one would you choose?
Under $100. I'd say G4, El Tesoro, or even El Tequileño
Ok ok I take it back Lui u my guy good reviews
Thank you friend! I appreciate that 😁🙏
@@Lui_Fern u should do another review on Altos it’s very good tequila
What’s ur thought on CIMARRON ??
I love Cimarron it's my well tequila.
Cool 😎
Are you brave enough to do a blind taste test ranking without knowing which tequilas you're being served?
Nicee
Thank you 😁🙏
Four out of Four isn't bad at all. I've never had the celebrity Tequila and will make sure I stay away. However, I have been partial to Jose Cuervo 100% Tradicional® Reposado when I can't afford a bottle of El Tesoro Reposado Tequila.
It's not hard to tell the difference in flavors, the issue is too many people drink tequila to take shots and be wasted. After the first 2 shots your palette doesnt taste the same. Stop chasing whats popular.
Nooo not down the drain 😢
I think round 3 says it all... not hard to identify casamigos or a tequila you taste on a daily basis....
next time, just pour one at a time and tell us if you think it has additives or not?
I have done that plenty of times.
Ok cool video... Bbuuuutt I'm gonna gut punch ya... It's not "blind or double blind when knowin them beforehand" ok technically you can't see, so you are blind but bein told this is a "Big Mac and a Whopper, take a bite now, which burger is from McDonald's?" But hey still great job
This is a COMPLETE BS trick- as you know which bottles you have to choose from in advance.. pretty easy to distiguish. Better if you do a line up of 5 random bottles with a few non-additive in there.. and see if you can tell the difference. All from same type.. like blanco, rep, etc. Choosing between 2 that you KNOW about.. is too easy.
Lol... I can't win 😅 But thanks for the feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback
You have a good point 👍🏽
