Time and time again we have demonstrated that people choose marketing and high prices over quality and flavor. Great show fellas
Your methods in these blinds are godlike. Love these blind challenges, every - single - time.
I don’t care if blind challenges don’t really work, they are fun as heck to watch!
Awesome video! I love how shocked you are. Would love to see Siete leguas thrown in here as well
There are so many world class repos not included in this tasting, that the video should be called, "Reposado Blind Challenge", but definitely not the "Best".
Siete and Volans SiB are my 2 favorite. They would be excellent for a blind like this
These blinds are the best. Gets the bottle bias out. Great content. 🤘🏼
So impressed with this blind! All the way down to the blacked out Glenn! Still can't believe all my favorites were beat out! almost unanimously! Cheers gents!
Two for two for fortaleza now. Is it all hype? Ocho does well twice now. Arrette for the win
While well-made, Fortaleza is definitely overhyped and overpriced. There are obviously other well-made brands equal to, or better than Fortaleza.
Every time I put Fortaleza, Ocho and G4 blancos head to head I end up choosing Ocho or G4, 🤷🏻♂️
One thing is for sure fortaleza is overpriced
What school did Dillion go to😂
Osculating molecules in kindergarten 😮
What do you expect, Dillon is left handed.
Ridiculous
Absolutely awesome!! This is why blind taste tests are the best. Love it
Oh you all make my day!!! Loved having Arette be the winner.
Can't say I'm surprised by the results. They're all fantastic bottles. You can probably blind them again 2 weeks from now and get totally different results. And Fortaleza has pretty wild batch variation. Some batches are okay. Others are life-altering.
Great episode guys! Very funny. 😂
you three guys are so entertaining, funny and talking about the stuff I love - glad I found you - best wishes & cheers
No surprise that Ocho is always at the top. Such a good tequila! One of my favorites without a doubt!
After these SHOCKING results I'd love to see how the normal low priced Arette compares to the Artesanal line. Can't believe a $24 bottle beat these big boys so decidedly.
Have not had the repo artisinal but the blanco is fantastic and find it to be quite a jump up from the norm .
im Fortunate to have 2 bottles each of Tapatio blanco & Repo and 1 bottle each of G4 Blanco, Repo and Añejo and 2 of Tears of Llorona extra añejo
Love it guys, the one the entire internet has been hoping holding its breath for....suprised but nice to see ocho high up there again, do you think fortaleza will still "underperform" if given blind score on a seperate days to the others (ie sample, rate and review blind one each day at a time), this will tell us once and for all whether it gets outshone alongside other tequilas with one or another traits or if fortaleza truly underperforms as a tequila in general (although everyone was truly a winner in that batch, just some were more winners than others)
Great video guys! I assumed the Arette would be in the top 3 with its uniqueness, but wow! I’d love to see you guys come back with a couple more of these blind challenges with new additive free brands. Then pin your voted favorites in a top 3 blind.
Siete Leguas Reposado is my go to! Never disappoints
Wow! I wonder how Arette reposado and Arette suave reposado stack up against each other.
Great episode straight 🔥
Love that Arette bottle, I think it’s really underrated. I get it for $20 where I’m at!
For the anejo blind challenge, I request you add Pueblo Viejo as your 6th. Nothing wrong with cheap, traditionally made tequila. Salud!
For the blanco high proof challenge, Arette 101 square bottle is going to be a great competitor. Thank you guys, I love the blind challenge videos.
You guts drink really fast! 🤣
I’d love to see more vids. Once a week isn’t enough! More more more!
My favorite spirits channel!
You guys should try the 123 Organic Tequila line. The reposado in particular is a treat! Cheers
I don't drink tequila, so I don't know what I'm talking about but it seems that your first choice is the most barrel influence, judging by the color. So maybe that's why it's your numero uno 🍹
Just started drinking tequila, first one was Nosotros, and I loved it. Loved the video and you guys being real.
Maybe this is why I can't find Arrete repo anywhere here except online stores
Blind tastings are fun and reveal that we don't know as much as we think we do!🤣Your blind tasting removed your already preconceived bias for Fortaleza. I'm the opposite, I'm always hoping it confirms my dislike for Fortaleza's flavor profile. I would've liked to see G4 higher, but I need to try Arette's standard repo. I've had the blanco, and it's good, but I definitely considered it a second-tier blanco.
Same here. I never fell in love with Fortaleza like everybody else seems to have.. I was hyped to try it, but it was just 'alright' for me and my fiancé. Ocho, tesoro, codigo repos are better.
@@efren3723 I've had Fortaleza blanco, Still Strength, and repo. There's a buttery and brininess to the overall Fortaleza profile that I don't find appealing.
Wow, also shocked. I have tried the Fortaleza, G4, and El Tesoro Reposados and El Tesoro is my favorite.
El Tesoro my fav too
Does juelz not like wearing the merch? Lol I just noticed this
The world will never be the same, this is more important than the moon landing
Arette reposado is so good. I've let a few people try it and there always blown away by how tasty it is.
That was one of the most intense reveals ever! I almost jumped out of my seat when I found out what 5th place was. On a side note, Dutch your time lapse music for this video was awesome. You ever think about putting out an album?
Thanks! I've slowly been releasing some music here: youtube.com/@futuremagik?si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
These blinds are so great! I pass by Arette all the time...no more!
Remember that Arette scored last in the blanco blind challenge.
Props to Arette! I haven't tried it yet but I will be soon. I do love ocho and I thought that would win. Can't wait for anejo blind test!
Just bought the Arrete thanks to your suggestion. It’s really great. Like Dillon always says, I definitely get the floral notes
That was very entertaining. Thank you
Pls try Curado blanco all 3 bottles, Nosotros reposado, and La Gritona… comparison
I'm more impressed with the low prices you guys are getting these bottles for. The only thing that I can find that is the same price is the G4. Everything else is $10-$30 more expensive. 😭
Guess I'll be scouting the horse on my next trip to the liquor store. Didn't expect that one.
1. Should've used premium Arette Repo
2. Excluded Siete Leguas wtf
3. Azuñia u should also try, 123 Organic #2. And the ultimate value in Tequila...Pueblo Viejo Repo
Enjoy the channel but this one could have been better.
When are you going to have dr. Auju as a special guest?
You can always tell that Dillion is just waiting to talk.
Great video. Arette is bomb. I grab the blanco suave all the time but that reposado is fire for around $30
I’m sipping Siete Leguas while watching. Only tried Ocho from these bottles
Not surprised Fortaleza came in last. It doesn't have a lot of complexity. It's a great sip, but not a favorite of mine. I think this holds especially true for those of us who are heavily influenced by bourbon. What do you guys think of Volans SiB Rep? Is my favorite rep.
I was sipping El Tesoro Resposado as I watched your video so I skipped to the end to see what color it was and then skipped back to listen to the comments on it. It is my favorite Resposado but I'll definitely give Arette a try if I can find it. My TotalWine doesn't carry it.
Be sure to try the Artesenal Arette expressions too. Worth it.
Ocho is my go to then El tesoro . That's my opinion . Great video guys !!
Haha this was fun to watch
I enjoyed that very much. I like Arette but It's been hard to find it near me lately... but there it was so I bought the repo and the blanco. The repo is excellent but I prefer the more intense agave of the blanco. I like that they are less peppery than many others.
Absolutely love your videos! Y'all are the best by far. Please don't ever change.
I've always been curious, could we get a behind the scenes look at what the area you guys shoot these videos in looks like? Could be a good different future video
Great video and blind. I have a bottle of Arette repo and have yet to open it. Fortaleza is sooo overrated. I think it’s hilarious how people chase it. Shocked about G4. That was fun!
Fun show!! Maybe add Siete Leguas next time!
Your prices are so low! I am in TX and they are quite a bit more. Ex. G4 repo $56, Fort repo $60, ET repo $50 and Ocho repo $56
Lucky you're not in New Zealand.. Fort repo would be about 90--100 USD here, Anejo is around 120-130. Ocho around $70, ET is really hard to find and prices all over the place. Arette is the only brand from this test that can be found here for a similar price. G4 and many others dont even get imported here.
Yeah arette is great but remember these are some of the best repos in the world! So you wont lose drinking any of these exceptional tequillas!
I was very surprised by the results!
Arette just went up in price
A guy in Reddit recently told me that Arette Reposado is godlike and I thought he was kidding. I'm definitely picking up a bottle soon
I’ve tried all the big hitters, every variation (blanco,repo,anejo) and OCHO REPOSADO is the best Tequila hands down (especially for a beginner palette) So much Agave and smoothness. Literally just a smooth agave bomb with great palate & good notes of citrus/floral… SUPREMELY UNDERRATED! NEVER HEARD PPL TALKING ABOUT OCHO REPO, only the Blanco & Anejo. I encourage anyone looking to find a good tequila, FIND OCHO REPOSADO! And a close second is G4… the rainwater freshness taste is to die for..
I just started becoming a tequila amateur and I gotta say I got my hands on Mijenta blanco, G4 blanco, Ocho Blanco/Repo, so far my favorite Blanco is G4 and the Ocho Repo is my favs. Mijenta Blaco is honestly 2nd. Now I want to get my hands on Arrete. I will be getting my hands on El Tesoro Repo and hopefully Fortaleza blanco/Repo this weekend👌🏾
Also G4 Blanco at my local liquor drive they cost $69.99 lmao wtfff type of shit is this. I like G4 a ton but 70.. nope I’ll do 55 at most l. I found some other liquor stores that sell at 46 so that’s a good deal imo.
with my blind test G4 was always on the bottom. El tesoro and Fort were #1 and #2. I notice everytime I have a blind test the results I slightly different though. But G4 usually always on teh bottom.
The Mijenta blanco is a beautiful sipper.
Big fan of Mijenta. I will say I prefer the Blanco over their Repo. Honestly a better sipper in its purest blanco state!
Why is it that one arette repo is $62 for a 750ml and the other is $28 for a 1L. They both have the same exact name but the bottle looks different. I wonder if one has additives..
The $62 is likely the artesanal suave which uses traditional stone/brick oven cooking, compared to the regular version (tested here) which uses autoclave cooking. The entire arette line is a confirmed additive free brand.
Great blind challenge! Thank you! Can't wait to see the Anejo challenge! I just blinded three Rep's and the Ocho was the best (La Mule) then Siete Leguas and Arette came in last...maybe I got a bad batch (#LD042210). Trying to find Mijenta, Volans, Cascahuin and Cazcanes reps this weekend!
I tried the Ocho and I wasn’t impressed, it has a bitter component to it, I still prefer Fortaleza. I will use my Ocho for making margaritas
I've always argued that blind tests don't eliminate bias, they simply introduce a different one. Fortaleza sounds like Four Roses, which somehow always fails in blinds and yet remains a favorite, even for people who rank it poorly in blinds. Outliers tend to fare badly in flights like this, I think.
Yes!
Agree
Do it again
The new kid on the block for blancos is Lalo. Be sure to check this one out.
Fortaleza is still my fave imo, to your point I think blinds are more a function of "bold over subtle taste". It'll be cool to see these in your ultimate spirits competition. I think drinking them individually instead of blinds might make a difference.
This is a common theme, that Fortaleza doesn't do well in blinds, and you're right that it does better individually because preconceived opinions will always place it higher. It's a well-made tequila that is overhyped and overpriced once it's imported and distributed.
I was thinking you guys should do a dalmore drink through. The normal age statements + cigar malt + king alexander. Then the 50 yo too just for the fun of it. Haha maybe not the last one.
For everybody saying that blind tasting introduces other biases - what bias can there be except pure taste and smell? If fortaleza doesn't taste as good as Arette, but wins in every other category, then you pay extra for exactly this category. Am I missing something? I imagine there could be some bias in expecting fortaleza to be in it's own tier, but then none tastes like what you imagined/remembered and you are lost.
wonder how fortaleza and ocho will place when you do the anejos. Great video, great channel guys!
Cheers, thanks!
Looking forward to our añejo battle!
Looks like I'm buying a bottle of Arette after work tonight
I bet if y'all do a blind with the same brands(reposado) with all new bottles (possibly new lots), you'll get a different answer. Regardless all great brands!!
So, not sure you guys have ever mentioned the area you reside in? Folks have commented prices in their area (usually east coast) are higher than your quoted prices.
Living in the L.A. area, I have several shops with good price and then we have TJ too.😊
Green being Fortaleza wasn't surprising to me. I think the anejo is far and away their best product, personally I've never been as high on their blanco and reposado
Wow, very cool, when’s the Anejo version of this video coming?
It should be out in the coming month or two - stay tuned!
Arette Repo is delicious. Thanks for introducing it to me..
What website/app do you recommend for buying/finding hard to find tequilas, bourbons, etc.? I see that you guys seem to be using a site to buy some of these bottles.
Entertaining segment. I seem to detect a greater degree of batch to batch variation in G4 products. Curious if anyone else feels the same about G4?
You must try Mijenta!
I wonder if the special Widow Jane Ocho would beat these. Just picked one up and it tastes divine
My experience with fortaleza is that the second and third sip are better than the first one.
Love it. Wait till you guys try the Arette regular Anejo.
Yeah, we're going to do the same lineup for añejo
What's up with the ad coming on, just as you were about to reveal #1, like a TV show. 🤣
Great video! Would love to see an blind tasting of anejos
Coming soon!
Arte Nom 1146 gets my vote
Tequila and tacos!
Wow 🤩!!!!!!
and straight to the store to get some Arette I go LOL
I wish I could find that stuff in the price range you mentioned. Add $30 around the Boston area.
My local liquor stores aren't anywhere CLOSE to those prices, I'm so jealous!
Ok I have to know Does Jules ever change? Is this on purpose?
In Southern California, Arette blanco is $21.99 and the repo is $23.99. Crazy you got it for 40
I know you kept same brands... and that you tried the blanco high proof of what I'm about to say... but, guys... Wild Common Reposado. Please try it. I'll pay for it, if you want... haha. The nose alone is unbelievable.
I'd like to see how pasote reposado would compare to these ones in a blind tasting.
Arette to me is still my favorite both blanco and resporato
How can i get one of those shirts? Those are nice.
🤯🤯
i need to come closer to yall for pricing all of those brands here are 55 plus. cant get Forteleza or G4 here
