One bit of info thats missing is that in mexico, the "true" version of tequila is blanco, because it is un aged and shows off the agave flavor, aging tequila in wood is something thats done to appeal to international tastes that are already familiar with other wood aged liquors. The blue agave plant takes about 7 years to mature and be harvested for tequila, so "hiding" those unique flavors behind wood is seen by many as moving "away" from what tequila should be.
@@MrFredenza So seriously people keep interchageably saying no this is better or that is better, Tequila wise which is great? As far smoothness goes, flavor, pleasant feeling
I just got a job at a tequila bar, and although knowing general knowledge about tequila I did not know the specifics. I sat down for a long research and study session and came across this video and it taught me so much I feel this is all I need to know! Very helpful, and definitely subscribed! Cheers!
My husband loves Tequila, SO I wanted to learn more. Funny he never liked Cuervo, I get it now.... I am a Kentucky Bourbon girl, at heart, but I must say, I have learned ALOT from this video. Now I know why I prefer the Anejo, because of the aging in THE oak barrels, duh! lol ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH :0)
Just wanted to throw this out there, 100% de agave means 100% of agave. It isn’t pure agave tequila, but it has “100% of agave” mixed with alcohol. If you’re looking for pure tequila, I recommend looking for labels that say “100% agave” which means basically it’s just the agave fermented with no extra alcohol, which is pure tequila and is quite nice to the throat.
Patron is not 100% agave, or just contains 100% of Agave mixed with alcohol. 1800 is 100% agave. Good 100% agave tequila is found in Mexico, really hard to find in the US without ridiculous markups.
Brent thankyou! Been looking for other brands of tequila since jose cuervo is more popular here in the philippines than the rest of tequila being mentioned.
Hi there! Great vídeo! However there are another very important category to mention. Tequila Cristalino is a filtered añejo Tequila looking like a silver one. It tastes and flavor like a regular añejo although more smooth in wood characters. It’s always a great choice for me! Best regards! Marcus
Sauza is better than jose cuervo, and I can assure that since back when I was young I used to sneak out dad's Jose cuervo and the day after, I always had bad hangovers. But when it comes to Sauza, never had a hangover and it also tastes and smells better than jose cuervo overall.
Don't buy Jose Cuervo😖that's cheap, bad quality tequila) as with anything there's a big difference among tequila brands. I recommend Don Julio***one excellent, very special tequila!) there are many Don J. selections, clear or darks. "Herradura" or "Patron" not bad!)
@@tryten9 wouldnt call patron trash. Im not a super big fan either but its not bad just over priced/overhyped. Don julio is my go to but ROCA patron anejo is pretty damn good. Still though, over priced. Same thing with grey goose vodka. Its high quality but there are much better for the same price or even cheaper.
Jose Cuervo is still 20$ a bottle, that’s some pretty expensive shitty tequila... I’m looking for the cheapest 100% agave or blue agave tequila I can find, anyone know of some of what I’m looking for???
Cool vid, it clears things up for novices to tequila. But "joven" (young in Spanish) is pronounced "hoe-ven", and anejo is pronounced "ahn-yeh-hoe", and means "old", not "vintage" in Spanish.
I want to donk people in the head when I seem them buying Cuervo. They think they're getting something special. That special is actually going to be be 49% barfed up later that night or in the morning. The Agave settles fine in me tummy, the body rebukes the trash.
I bought higher quality tequila for this one young girl thinking I was doing good, told her agave went down smoother but she preferred Cuervo so you just never know, that is all she likes and what she's used too, different strokes for different folks.
Right? That Cuervo gold is 20$ crap that fools a lot of people thinking it’s a halfway decent bottle at that price with the well known brand... what’s the cheapest 100% blue agave tequila? That’s what I’m looking for
Sipping high quality tequila is one thing, but cheap ass sauza silver mixed with the non alcoholic Cuervo classic lime margarita mix blended to a lightly crushed slush makes the best damn margaritas money can buy. Fight me.
Jose Cuervo Special says " made with Blue Agava and also Reposado Tequila. According to you Tequila bearing these words is not mixed: it is rested in in white oak barrels.
Jose has a traditional line-up that has 100% blue agave in addition to the jose especial line which is your flavored toilet water "tequila" both the line-ups are awful though
Anejo tequilas are a new thing and impersenation of whiskey. Real Mescal type liquors like tequila are best drunk Blanca. Straight from the still. They are smooth and taste like the agave from which its made. I drink aged scotch frequently but blanca tequila is very very good stuff.. Tres agaves is a good one moderately priced tequila.. No flat notes and it taste awesome neat with a little lime..
My GF bought a bottle of El Jimador silver 100% Blue Agave...she thought it was terrible compared to Patron. I asked one of my Mexican friends and he told me that El Jimador sold in Mexico is great, but something is added to it when it is going to get shipped to the US. He said the Jimador here are awful....I am a little new at tequila...any truth to this? And why would she find them so entirely different. Thanks!
Land O Calrissian She tried Patron the other night and loved it...she's about to throw this bottle of Jimador out. She says it burns and like the Patron 100xs more...
Ñ in añejo is not an N. It is it's own letter in the Spanish alphabet. More like N-yuh. Like in Canyon. J is pronounced with more of an H sound. Not the English J. So Hoven would be closer. Just a couple of exta data points to add to the wonderful information video! Tequila is a really fun great tasting alcohol and it really adds to the fun to use the real Spanish pronunciación. :)
Some can be expensive....but here are s few. Sierra Silver Tequila: 75% ABV. El Luchador: 55% ABV. ... Tapatío Blanco: 55% ABV. ... Don Fulano Tequila Blanco: 50% ABV. ... Pueblo Viejo: 50% ABV. ... Thanks for watching and commenting
This girl at work says she only drinks the best and that 1800 is cheap and tastes nasty. I personally love 1800 and she gives me a hard time every time I mention it.. she only likes Patron.
Ain't a tequila review video lest you shit on old Jose. In reality, it's fine. Just think of Jose Cuervo as a pre-mixed cocktail of tequila and rum, perfectly fine for mixing with lime juice, orange liquor, ice and salt.
If all you are looking for is a drunk, it might as well be a cheap drunk. What more there is only one thing worse than a cheap hangover and that would be an expensive hangover.
Kush805- Winning white tequila is white washed tequila. gold tequila is the good shit. its like white people saying Chipotle is good mexican food bahaha wtf.
I completely agree, mezcal is best unaged (tequila is a form of mezcal). A good silver tequila tastes like the agave plant while gold tequila is aged for a stronger wood and alcohol taste. I don't knock someone for liking the aged mezcal's I just prefer the agave taste of unaged.

I want to donk people in the head when I seem them buying Cuervo. They think they're getting something special. That special is actually going to be be 49% barfed up later that night or in the morning. The Agave settles fine in me tummy, the body rebukes the trash.

Sipping high quality tequila is one thing, but cheap ass sauza silver mixed with the non alcoholic Cuervo classic lime margarita mix blended to a lightly crushed slush makes the best damn margaritas money can buy. Fight me.
Why is tequila so expensive? Even that bottle of crappy Jose Quervo is 20$ what’s the best priced 100% agave tequila??
Nick Hall Try jimador, it’s cheaper than most tequilas but it’s actually good.

Jose Cuervo Special says " made with Blue Agava and also Reposado Tequila. According to you Tequila bearing these words is not mixed: it is rested in in white oak barrels.
It needs to say 100% blue agave or 100% de agave or 100% agave. As I said some brands say blue agave but its only 51% tequila
Jose has a traditional line-up that has 100% blue agave in addition to the jose especial line which is your flavored toilet water "tequila" both the line-ups are awful though
Anejo tequilas are a new thing and impersenation of whiskey. Real Mescal type liquors like tequila are best drunk Blanca. Straight from the still.

Silver is nice imo
I’ve only ever had gold tequila, does the silver tequila taste EXACTLY like the gold but just clear??

I am a casamigos fan. That what I have when I'm sipping. Thanks for watching!!!
If you need Spanish lessons,I'm available
So which tequila should I start off with for my first shot/drink?
For me its Casamigos...
Arrette blanco best sipper for $25
Isn't blanco best for a neat shot?
I would prefer the reposado.
Thanks for watching
@@MrFredenza I see. I heard blanco are preferd as they are the tequila experience.
@@gouthambolt but it's all by preference. I prefer the flavor of a Reposado butt some may prefer a Blanco as you can taste the Agave more.

Hi What about Silver Jose Cuervo
If it doesnt say 100% agave...its a mixed tequila.

Also I would recommend the tequilas that are additive free. Easy on hangovers
As look as they are 100% pure agave you will be good.....thanks for watching and commenting
El jimador is the best 100% de agave tequila for the money in this video .
