I feel Jose Cuervo Especial is Garbage, Here is Why

- Jose Cuervo Especial is garbage in my opinion, and we're going to explain why. In a nutshell, 51% of anything is only half what is advertised. But, you get what you pay for and it is no different with Jose Cuervo Especial.

You like headaches and awful tasting fake tequila? Perhaps this is the product for you! But, this is just my opinion, you can choose for yourself.
Remember, mixto is a no no as is oro.

Couldn't agree more! The Tequila culture in Australia is shocking. 99% of tequila drinkers are 15-20 year old girls who think drinking tequila involves shot glasses, lime, salt and a bottle with a red plastic sombrero on the lid.
good tequila is one of the best flavors alcohol has to offer.
Nice video, never knew about jose cuervo....but then again I never tried it :) always stuck with the patron silver....but do all "silver" tequilas are priced around the same??? Oh and thanks for the advice on j.c :)
Great review! I'm just wondering, what do you think about Cabo Wabo Tequila?
you're absolutely right, I love tequila and when I use to buy this we had hangovers, I've never bought it since, now only good experiences buying %100 agave👍
When I was in college, Jose Cuervo was the only tequila you found, anywhere. Patron set me straight. I tasted a true tequila and I would never consider buying Jose Cuervo Especial again. Not saying Patron is my favorite tequila brand, though I think it is great, it just set me on the right path.
Is patron good tequila and Wut is the difference between a gold and a silver and wut would u recommend
Dude you're so underrated! The way you explain stuff is top notch. I could get drunk with you and listen to you explain stuff all the time
hah, it's fine, I've learned to live with modest views.
you should do a review of all the bad alcohol that you find at your typical highschool party XD
So José, jack daniels and pretty much any vodka?
Everclear would have to be on that list.
only had one party in high school but we had decent liquor at least. Ciroc, dulce vida (dunno much about it but it says 100% agave on the bottle) and fireball
Fireball, jager, Burnett’s and old English
@Max, thanks. If we convert 1, I'm feeling a success
Any Jose Cuervo is garbage, period
Michael Mangi
Not La Reserva de Familia
which tequila will you recommend me? my first tequila drink is Tequila Don Julio
metallicfreak Don Julio is fine, stick with it. :)
***** ok, thanks for the advice. :)
Thanks a lot Derrick, I was looking on the Dan Murphy's site at tequilas and picking out the ones I know I wont buy now, still a decent range for here in Australia and I don't mind paying up to $80 for something nice. What is the difference between a Añejo, and a Reposado?
I'm the same way, Jose was such a bad experience! Thanks for the video!
Also an Audi TT is such a great roadster, and what's your opinion on the 1800 tequila? I've been wanting to buy it for some time now and last but not least, Jose in Washington state is about 26 bucks how sad :-[
José Cuervo tradicional is the answer... its made 100 percent made with blue agave, of course the cost is higher.
yep, a whole $2 higher in our liquor store :) And, yes, I've reviewed both Tradicional Repo and Blanco on the channel :)
*****
That's the part that befuddles me. Where I'm from people know so little about tequila that especial is hardly even discounted compared to a bog standard but honest tequila like Camarena or el Jimador. Hell, recently I bought a handle of El Jimador repo for $6 more than I would have paid for 750 ml of especial. Again, nobody really raves about drinking Jimador neat but Especial is like a bottle of liquid pain by comparison, so I'll take that deal every time.
Nobody raves because ignorance is silence. I am just leaving cancun now and I am certain almost every tourist drinking free margaritas on the beach of their all inclusive resorts just think they taste better in mexico. Oblivious to the fact that they are using real tequilas and not mixtos.
Sugerencia, si quieres probar en verdad un buen tequila preguntenle directamente a un Mexicano, lamento informarles que mucho del tequila que consumen ustedes son de baja calidad y normalmente nosotros no consumimos, hay tequilas de calidad increible, que ustedes quizas nunca han probado en su vida.
Fuck Jose Cuervo lol. Just use real tequila that even Sam's club and Costco provide; don't fuck with companies that make cheap shit.
Congratulations Derrick! I am from Mexico City and all your explanation is correct, that is the reason why a lot of people does not want to try the tequila, and is because in the most of bars and restaurants they will serve and prepare all their drinks with the cheapest tequila of the market. That video will be very helpful to all of the people who has been deceived by the owners. Best regards!! Saludos!!
Thanks
My pleasure!
So i was wondering, is tequila used for any mixed drinks? i'm fairly new to your shows and was wondering if you could point me to one, thanks!
I just bought El Jimador Represado Tequila 100% agave over Silver hornito ( the one you show) since they were at the same price or 1 or 2 $ higher ( canada) still was 30+ for 750 ML . good choice ?
villipend you need to turn on the ability for people to reply to your comments with G+ :(
Jose Cuervo gold isn't a "blend" in the traditional sense. It uses "filler" to make up the rest, that "filler" can be sugar, caramel color, grain alcohol, whatever they want, as long as 51% is tequila.
Scotch is usually blended with other ages and such to make a consistent product and has a few more rules to what can be part of it. Jose Cuervo Gold is just a way to stretch a lot of product a longer way by filling it with additional "stuff" to make it all fit in the bottle :)
Been saying that for a long tiome Lisa Straanger !
Have you tried El Ultimo Agave? Same price-range (here = exact same price) as Jose, but actually a very decent tequila.
CliffM85 nope!
***** ahhhhhhhhhahahahahahah u just fuck them
CliffM85 That's actually one of my favorite brands to buy. Good tequila. Good price. Are there better brands? Yes, of course, but much more expensive. I, personally, always recommend El Ultimo as a good, 'everyday' tequila choice.
I've never had a problem with Jose
+Tcnj80 I know it tastes nothing like a real tequila.. I was just saying that I don't find that it tastes disgusting
I did not know this. Good to know, Thank you guys. Im a Scotch Whiskey drinker myself. Do u have any good info on that? And thanks again.
scotch info is a broad topics, I have lots of information...I think, but it depends on what you need to know :)
I'm impressed. I really enjoyed the informative video you posted. You made some excellent points. Personally I have never regarded tequila high in my collection of alcohols. One being the reason(s) you mentioned. Even from airports I _never_ get a bottle of tequila because I don't regard it as a versatile alcohol in cocktails.
I looked at the bottle I have now, it's Sauza...not 100% agave. Should I ever get another bottle, I have to make an investment, probably worth the trouble, right?
This explained a loooooooooooooooooooooot of my previous hang overs. Thanks for making this!
I bought Espolon Friday. Cuervo bottles will be dust collectors after watching this.
Nice video. Have you ever tried the Cuervo 1800 del nuevo milenio? I've had a bottle of that in my cabinet for some time. Might break it
Wonderful video!! Thank you for explaining everything!
Go with Hornitos about the same price but it's 100% real that's what I like
But even then there are various ways to derive tequila. Some more expedited than original traditions
Well I can honestly say that if I ever decide to try tequila I now know exactly what not to look for. Thanks.
no prob
awesome video, thank you for the information
Great vid! Thank you for sharing!
I love this channel :)
Thanks :)
I enjoy a product called "El Jimador." You should try the reposado! 20 USD
+Wandering Soul yeah, I think I've had it in my travels
+Common Man Cocktails Clearly not too much a fan
El Jimador is my "apocalypse" tequila. It's a fantastic bang-for-your-buck!
Always finding GOOD information in your video clips... Thank You.
I feel you. We have the same problem with "Sierra Tequila" here.
I think about ordering a real tequila online.
Can you recommend one of them? Herradura, San Cosme Mezcal, Cuervo 1800 Añejo, Corralejo? We dont have alot of variety.
I see the light I am I'm converted I will get real tequila .
HAHA my family and I drunk and whole bottle of this in the weekend. Let's just say there were A LOT of headaches the next morning. I'll be informing them about this next time! We're in NZ though so probably not a huge range of 100% tequila here.
I found El Jimador 100% Agave Reposado tequila is quite affordable (32$/26oz here) and sweet and soft smelling and has that little spicier taste to it than blanco. Is 32$ for reposado realistic to you or there's a catch ? thx
Hey Derrick, love your videos! Recently picked up a Jose Cuervo Silver bottle, it was supposed to be the Rolling Stones tour pick. It did say made with blue agave but nothing about percentage, what are your thoughts about this bottle?
it's just as poor as Cuervo Especial / Gold, it's not 100% de agave. They just write "made with Blue weber" because all tequila has to be made with that species of agave. It also makes it 'sound' like it's 100% because they bother to give you information that adds no value (it's like saying "humans, now made with skin!")
It's junk. Get Tradicional (repo or blanco)
Common Man Cocktails Thanks alot for the quick response, lucky me it was the first tequila I ever bought :) would've never known without your awesome channel!
Audi TTs are made in Hungary...
Oh yeet
Nothing wrong with Mexican VWs either. Better by far than any domestic car in the same class and even better than most Japanese cars in the same class.
BMW is made in south Africa
😂😂😂 I'm drinking one right now
Very informative thanks Derrick
what would u say is the best Tequila to buy that is under $30 and is 100% tequila?
Greetings I'm from México (sorry if I don't have a good write, I just have 1 month studing english) I'm agree with you the jose cuervo especial in others countries is terrible I think that the problem is that they only sells the product to sell and they don't give the original quality, here in México bottle leaves you about 20 dolars and not in 7 dolars but the curious fact is that the best tequila in the world is the jose cuervo 250 años (very, very expensive $2000 dolars one bottle), If you want to drink a good tequila I recommend 2 bottles... the first is tequila jimador is very strong and has a good smell very appropriate to stay drunk in minutes.... the second is tequila gran patrón this one is expensive ($2000 pesos mexicanos, 150 dolars more less) the flavor has a special touch like a angelic singing came down from heaven.
Nice recommendations, I would hope a bottle for $2000 would be good :)
I'm still gonna drink it
That's fine, just spreading the word, you don't have to listen if you don't want to ;-)
How would you rate Sauza?
Does it make a difference if you just use it for Margaritas? Or are they too low-class for the liquor snob?
this video changed my whole life.... not even joking.....now if it doesnt say 100% i dont buy it, not even in misleading Spanish.....*note*i only used to buy this....likes and subscribes to you common man cocktails....p.s fuck that bullshit patron and that hipster hype
+Brandon Schuman fantastic news, thanks!
+Common Man Cocktails but forreal i passed this on to my friends and it's to surprising....as being enlightened, truly whats your favorite tequila? because i'm the oddball in my group and i back you and tequila with my life. but they just think all the nasty stereotypes
+Brandon Schuman also had cabo wabo soley based on your opinion and it was awesome compared to (ive had alot of vodkas)....keep making your vids
+Brandon Schuman tequila's to look for: alma tequila, riazul tequila, 7 leguas, casamigos and tres generaciones are a few to watch for
+Common Man Cocktails thanks for replying, will look for it! and still convince my friends that cheap jose/ patron are shit, and to look for the 100% good stuff and the origin's thanks for the knowledge!
I was always wonder why is the gap between prices of various brands of tequila, now I know, is the Agave, that's ok, now, I have a comment about the BMW, why your said that 50% made in Germany and 50% made in Mexico, why Mexico? you sound like a racist stating by name the country, in my opinion you should say " other country" and , well, I have a Fender Stratocaster guitar that is made in Mexico and is as good as any made in the USA, but that's not the point, but as I said, why name Mexico? make me think that anything made in Mexico is cheap...
I say it's made in Mexico because...well, quite honestly, it is. I see absolutely no racist (Mexico isn't a race) remark by telling someone where something is from.
Imagine you go to the store and ask where a product was made in they look at you strange and say "it's a secret...it's just made." I'd put the product down and walk away.
If the "made in Mexico" stickers on items makes you think it's cheap that's not my problem, that's yours :) Just because something is made in Mexico doesn't mean it's cheap quality, we have tiki glasses we sell in the store made in Mexico and they're exactly the same design and quality as something made here. The difference is, because of wages, rules, etc. they can make them there for less money so I can sell the tiki mugs for $12 a piece instead of $20. Is it "cheap"? Yeah, it's "cheaper" than making it here, but it's still the same product quality in terms of materials (it's all about how much those materials cost).
If products are considered "cheaply made" because they're made in a specific country than a) that's extremely valuable information as a buyer b) valuable information for a vender and c) a problem with products made in the country labeled. If they're being told it's cheap than the problem is they're being told to create cheap product.
I have also seen products made in Mexico and made in Germany (or made in the US) that are inferior products from Mexico compared to the other country yet they're the same product. This also occurs with mainland china as well because companies like Wal-Mart force their companies to produce from the cheapest bidder and, products that were once good are forced to be made cheaper in order to distribute at Wal-Mart because Wal-Mart expects specific levels of margin.
Many of these "cheap" products are made cheap because they're using more caustic materials or things that damage the environment. At AwesomeDrinks I've had many customers call to ask where specific products are made. They want them made in the US because they know our regulations are high enough to require products to be made safer than those in China (or probably Mexico). So, they _have a right_ to know how the materials are handled in the product they are purchasing, especially plastic parts that infants will use as toys.
It's not a problem with labeling something China, Mexico, etc. It's a problem with big box stores. Perhaps we should fix the real problem and not worry about how things are labeled. So, if you ever walk into a Wal-Mart or similar store remember what you said about "made in Mexico" because you're making the problem worse by supporting them. ;-)
Correctly specifying the country of origin is stating a fact. It's not racism except in the minds of the professionally offended.
As for your Mexican Strat, and assuming it's stock: what may be factually correct would be to say, your particular MIM (Made in Mexico) Strat sounds as good as *some* MIA (Made in US) Strats. I'm quite sure it is not as good as *any* MIA Strat because there are tangible material differences (lower-quality pots, tuners, pickups, bridge block) in the components used in Mexicans which are simply lower-quality vs. their MIA counterparts. Fact. It's more than just a matter of in which country the guitar was built.
You're wrong: Fender Guitars, just like other many products of mexican origin, are not lower-quality, they are made with parts made in the USA, but assembled in MX, in this case the pick-ups, keys, pots and other components, Fact. And the way my guitar is played, makes no difference if is MIM or MIA, the Made in the USA thing is over, even what you're wearing right now has been made outside the US, we're now in a deep globalization, wether you like it or not.
If you really believe all the same components are used in both the MIA & MIM Fender models, I'm not going to waste further time arguing with you. You're wrong. Go try selling that BS to the folks on fenderforum.com or tdpri.com & post the link to any threads you start. It should be quite amusing.
NikkkitoNippongo Just a head's up, we've been outsourcing across the world for over 20 years, this is nothing new. If somehow you're on a kick thinking "making things outside the US is new", then I just wanted to open up your eyes and let you know, it's not new at all.
The "Made in the USA" thing was over in 79, get with the times :) There are plenty of people that still buy US-only products (or at least think they do or try hard to do it), and they have to work hard to do it.
As a guy that runs an online cocktail accessory and glassware store, I believe I'm quite capable and more knowledgeable on this concept than most people. If it's made with silicone, it's probably not made in the USA, if it's mass produced it's almost definitely not made in the USA. If it's cheap to buy, it's probably not made in the USA.
I can contract out a company in the US to build me a shaker tin and it will probably cost me $4-$8 a tin. I can contract that same thing out to India and pay $3.80 a tin with logo and custom paint work and pay the shipping to bring it over here. Fact is, there are places you can make things cheaper because they have different laws, different economies or simply will do the work for less. The US has to pay higher healthcare wages, higher rent for buildings, more money for electricity, general higher wages and comply with more strict regulations which usually cost the companies more to handle (for certifications, inspections or additional work to be compliant). That, my friend, is a fact. And, those additional costs are factored into the products that are made here.
Add to that the need to make them higher priced because volume is less. Why is volume less? Competition from other countries makes people flock to Wal-Mart to buy cheaper versions (yeah, cheaper in production quality too) because they can buy five for the price of one US version. So, you get 5x the longevity of a cheaper product because you just buy another five for the price of one US made version. People are fine with that apparently, so they lose the right to bitch.
I found jose Cuervo especial silver is that the equivalent of the gold especial? Is it a mix?
Yep, unless it says Tradicional, it's no better
This is the silver that's 100% de Agave: th-cam.com/video/hmfNiYol4F4/w-d-xo.html
Converted from crappy cuervo especial and patron silver to espólon blanco. What's your opinion on espólon?
not entirely sure, I've seen it at the store, but there are hundreds of brands I've never tried yet.
I've been wanting to try the 1800 coconut tequila, any thoughts on it?
How do you feel about blended whiskys? I kinda feel the same way about them since a lot of the body of it is cheap grain alcohol, but at least they're upfront about it being a blend most of the time.
I'm find with blended whiskies, because they're 'blended' whiskies on the label and the master blender is _trying_ to get the flavor they got (for whatever reason that might be) so if their intention is to get that flavor, I'm fine with it. If they're tasting that way because it's just cheaper than doing it right...that's when I have a problem with it :)
What about scotch . I have never tried it but was curious on what u think about taste and brands
Does anybody know if El Jimador Reposado is any good? It's the only affordable 100% agave tequila available where I live. I'm not against spending money on a good product, but I'm just wondering how it stacks up to the more expensive brands.
DERRICK i would like to make my own vodka, what would you advise me ???
Where i live, the smallest bottle of absolute vodka (ie 350ml) in the store is 90 dollars and the thats the retail store
Well I have to admit I didn't know that much about tequila but always preferred the brown stuff. A friend of mine said to drink thr white kind because it has less impurities....less of a hangover. But I think you convinced mr to go with 100 percent agave. What brands are the best ?
If you're just starting out and don't want to spend a bunch, try Hornito's Plata, Jose Cuervo Tradicional, Cazadores or kick it up to Cabo Wabo, or a bit higher to Siete Leguas.
"Brown" tequila that's under $25 is going to no doubt be white tequila + caramel coloring to make it darker and aged looking. A reposado tequila (aged a few months) will have a darker tint to it, and anejo will be aged even more and may have that bourbon look to it.
Thank you for this. It was very informative and useful. :)
Hey, I'm not quite old enough to drink yet, but I turn 21 next year and I'm curious about what alcoholic drinks are quality and which aren't. I would never be interested in drinking something cheap just to get drunk. Anyway, I'm curious what your opinion of 1800 tequila is. Thanks :)
If jose is so bad how come all the other tequillas made your hair fall out? lol
Steven Perry savage
have you ever tried Alien tequila? what are your thoughts on it? also, what are your thoughts on 1800?
Not a huge fan of 1800 but I know it's fairly popular with other folks. The others I've not heard of.
Something like Don Julio, should you drink that straight or mix it? If you can mix it, what would be a good drink recipe that wouldn't completely mask the flavor?
I was surprised as I bought Don Julio Anejo online in Europe from a Dutch store, it must've passed Germany because on the box it says "Mit Farbstoff" which means colouring. I wonder why, it's still quite pale and the bottle is darkened (like Islay scotches) and it tastes really good! I've only had Patron Silver before.
do you have some recommendations brands for a 100% agave tequila?
Siete Leguas, Hornitos, Tres Generaciones, Siempre, Jose Cuervo Tradicional, the list can go on and on and on!
Cool thanx for the info derrick:-). Huge fan of your show keep up the awsome work:-)
i just bought a Jose Cuervo Tequila with new bottle & new label.. it is written REPOSADO TEQUILA.. as i learned from your video you mentioned if it is written REPOSADO its good & it is the one to buy because its 100% blue agave... it that correct?... it tastes good & mild to my throat... just like the real tequila..
Jose Cuervo Reposado Tradicional 100% de Agave? If it's this one, then yes :) th-cam.com/video/39hEQ-eB9mk/w-d-xo.html
My father bought a bottle of this ALTHOUGH the difference between this bottle and the one he bought is where there is a sticker saying 'Premium' near the neck of yours, it says 'Reposado' instead, is the bottle my father bought still just a 51% tequila?
What's your opinion on 1800 tequila? Like you said before I had Jose my favorite tequila was 1800 and it was extremely smooth. But for my 21st birthday (which was 12/10/2013) I bought the gallon of Jose which was cheaper :( worst decision ever. My question is what is your out look on 1800 tequila?
tequila 1800 is a very good tequila but funny fact it is also made by jose cuervo.
i would totally recomend you 1800 and tradicional, if you like drinking tequila by it self look for a reposado.
Edgar Ruiz Proximo Spirits owns the 1800 brand and recently picked up the Jose Cuervo brand a few months ago. They also own Maestro Dobel, Three Olives Vodka, Kraken Rum and a bunch of other products.
However, the NOM for Tradicional and 1800 come from the same place, yes.
how do you feel about Sierra Tequila?
also, is the 1800 silver not 100% agave? i noticed that it was smoother than the especial, but that isnt saying much...
Similar to tequila grading system that you used, can you apply this to perhaps whiskey in the next video? Very informative and I wasn't aware of the 'knock off' product that's not agave and only 51%. Once again taught me more about drinking
Derrick, I knew that Jose Cuervo was not the best Tequila out there, but I never thought it was that bad! I must admit that I have one and it says "Blue agave" How different is it from the rest?
Hi I just had a quick question for you. I wanted to buy a tequila for my boyfriend as an anniversary gift. He has only drank Jose Cuervo Especial and I wanted to make him a TRUE 100% margarita to show him what he's been missing!! I just wanted your guidance and preference maybe a list of top 5 or 10 100% tequilas so I know more or less what I should get to wow and impress him. I would greatly appreciate it!! Thanks a ton in advance!!!
Okay so first, watch our tequila tasting finals: Blanco Tequila Tasting Results: Riazul, Cabo Wabo, Alma and Tres Generaciones
That's a few to start with in your list. Second, you can always hit up our channel homepage and using the search option in the submenu (the one with the magnifying glass), search "tequila review"
That will return a bunch of great suggested tequila's to try out as well. On top of that list, Herradura, Don Julio or Jose Cuervo Tradcional are some good ones if you can find them.
If you can order online, checkout DrinkupNY.com as a source for some of the ones we bring up in our reviews. You won't find every tequila brand everywhere so searching or secondary options may be needed.
Just avoid Jose Cuervo and Patron as neither are good indicators of a rich tequila heritage. While Patron Silver as it is 100% de Agave, it's lacking soul... it's like the vodka of tequila.
To understand a bit more about some of the reasons they're called silver, reposado, anejo I have a breakdown on our website: bit.ly/1aTDm2v
WOW I didn't expect you to get back to me so fast! That was a great help thank you so much!! Question again though...I thought the tequila was what gives the margarita its color? if I buy blanco/clear colored tequila wouldn't that effect the drink? or it doesn't matter??
Sarah Jeffcoat margarita's are often light green due to either the sour mix or the lime juice that's added. Watch our Common Man Margarita: How To Make The Common Man Margarita
The color of a margarita has no bearing on the tequila used (with exceptions I'm sure). Even a more oak aged anejo isn't going to impact much on the color.
Some folks, my hardcore tequila buddies, just pour tequila in a glass with a wedge of lime squeezed in it and call it done. It is usually clear or light amber at that point.
I have never been a fan of tequila, but I have had a few and I just don't know which of the ones i've had were quality and which weren't. What is your opinion on Don Julio Blanco? If you've had it. Thanks love the show, long time fan!
What do u think about patron tequila
What do you think of Espolon?
Is San Jose (the silver one) a good tequila ?
So informative...Thank you buddy.
what you think about patron tequila?
I recently got to taste the full range of El Jimador tequilas and I was a pleasantly surprised - what are your thoughts on that brand (whether the blanco, reposado or anejo)?
+Callum Wilson can't recall having it
I wouldn't say it's the best stuff I've ever tasted, but I thought it was a great way to change my opinion about tequila from Jose Cuervo Especial
Does sauza gold fall under the same category? It only says made from real blue agave
Awesome and thanks!
Do you know if Jose Cuervo Black are 100% agave?
Thank you! Tequila is my liquor of choice and I try to tell people all the time 100% agave or nothing. How do you feel about El Ultimo Agave brand?
Bryonna Nobles never had it, but I'm constantly surprised by the "how do you feel/like _____ tequila brand here" responses, seems I get them every week or so and the brands are almost always different. Unfortunately there are hundreds of brands available and I can't have them all.
Derrick, what do you think about Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville tequila?
I think it's a headache in a bottle with no fun buzz at all, I had more fun mixing it with spray paint and coating the inside of a plastic bottle with it to make a propellant then lighting it off
it's mixto junk. Low grade alcohol, caramel color and a big brand name on it to drive sales. Meh. I'm passed the stage in my life where I fall for that :)
Charismatic. I like how u keep the audience. Great show subscribed!
Interesting I have a hankering to make a real margerita.Did not know about the trickery. Thanks What about a cheap triple sec? How do I know a good one? On the cheap sorta?
Most triple sec brands are cheap, much like "schnapps" here in America they're typically grain alcohol with some flavor additives. Luxardo Triplum makes a real triple sec from three different styles of citrus fruit. Senior Curacao also makes a clear curacao orange liqueur (along with blue curacao liqueur) that are legit.
I have not seen many bars using a higher end triple sec. What you can do is do what I often do and check to see if the orange liqueur is Cointreau or Grand Marnier or something of that ilk--that way you know you're getting a higher shelf brand and not just a schnapps-like sweetener they paid $9 for at the local store :)
I'd love to see a video with ciroc. What's your thought on ciroc?
Hi Derrick. I've got a few favorite online liquor shops in Germany, I order my spirits from there, and looking at the selection, the closest thing to a real tequila was this: SIERRA ANTIGUO ANEJO
An ultra premium tequila añejo matured for over two years in oak barrels. 100% blue agave. Deep golden tequila with a full bodied, warm and exceptionally delicate mellow flavour. Savour neat in a classic cognac glass.
Have you tasted that one? Will it be much better than Sierra Tequila Silver?
What are your thoughts on 1800 silver and grand marnier
So, what did you do to this bottle after finishing the recording? :P
Like this review alot!!! Totally agree with you. Thank you!
does it say 100% agave on the bottle?
is 1800 a good quality?
Thank you gonna spend more now to get what u recommend thankyou for always doing drinks i never heard of and i tried a few of yours and they are awesome !!! Keep up the great education on drinks. I always follow your videos!!
whats your thoughts on monte albane tequila
Not that I want to buy it.. but I'm trying to figure out where you buy your tequila because I've found Cuervo for nothing less than around $17
Two years ago, I was drinking that Jose Cuervo stuff and came to the conclution (like most others) that I can't stand tequila. When I started watching your show, I gave tequila another shot. This time i bought a 100% agave one, and it changed my view on tequila completely. Not only do I wake up without the massive headache, but the tastes can't be compared. There is no way you could have convinced me that tequila could taste good on its own two years ago. Thank you man!
I know this video is about a year and a half old but I've never seen Cuervo 51% for $7 or close to it. I live in New Jersey and the cheapest I've ever seen a 750 ml bottle, which seems to be what the guy in the video is holding, over the last 2 years is maybe $16.00. Nonetheless, I won't be buying Cuervo or Suaza Gold, which isn't much better ever again. I just checked a local store and a 200 ml Cuervo will cost $7. Any thoughts on Jose Cuervo Cinge ($18 for 750ml?
Yep, $16.99 here right now, went up a bit, but it may have been on sale for less (labor day and such), so price may have been less for that weekend.
Thanks for the enlightenment!
What you think about Lunazul Reposado Tequila?
It’s fine, I got a bottle in my bar right now. We have reviewed that on the channel as well
My bad.. My comment was posted in the Scotch video that's next. Anyway, Milgro is one of my favorite low cost ones. Around 23 a bottle... What's your thoughts on it?
I bought Camaren 100% pure agave and it was less money than Jose Cuervo what is your opinion on that brand?
+Rene'e Rose never had it, but given it's 100% agave, it's better than this. I've had at least 50 people ask me my opinion of tequila in this video, I can't try 'em all unfortunately.
no i guess not you would be wasted all the time lol thanks for the response though.give it a try if you can..:-)
