I’ll start by saying it probably won’t be on the shelf again because as you said Lou there’s better options for less money. It’s not bad tasting tequila. There is a funk to it like folks are saying which improves when it opens up a bit. It left be kind of confused. I’ve started using it in my cocktails because which is actually fulfilling a need because the 7 other options I have are phenomenal sippers and would be a sin to put in a cocktail.
There's no answer for that, but if it's being stored out of direct light and in a dry area maybe. It also would have to do with the topper on this particular bottle. That's why I parafilm all my tequila.
I'd imagine so, maybe they should try a Total Wine. When you say New York, if it's Manhattan, they shouldn't have too much of a problem. In Manhatten, have them go to Astor Wine, if NG, then try some smaller stores, they may have it there
No I mentioned that the top was cool, that it reminded me of the old grolsch beer I used to drink as a kid. I like the bottle, and I had no problem with it, except I think it was just average juice at best
Oh I see what you were saying, because of the top. That's pretty much a standard top, that some beers use as well. Tears is a whole different type of bottled, just the same top.
It’s actually pretty good just not amazing. I didn’t smell anything fishy personally but it tastes and smells like a natural version of whatever Casamigos Repo thinks it is.
Stick with arette or cimarron as i primarly mix tequila but would even go tres agave or even a el espalon before id buy this one and its like $40 by me in California and i live in a pretty big tequila town as were about 80% latino mexicans here.
Not a bad drink, but overhyped (I think because of the brand story & also because many confuse the brand ownership with the distillery ownership) & overpriced. In my area it is just shy of $60, similar to Ocho reposado & not much less than Tesoro reposado. It is $15 more than El Tequileño Reposado Gran Reserva & almost $20 more than Siempre 1414 reposado, which all beat the pants off this.
It tastes like a lighter fluid mix. Kind of like it will fight back. I hate buying it and will no longer drink it even if free. This is the 1st time I have trashed alcohol
hi i just pick this up today, its not so bad i would score 79, straight up on rocks, pretty smooth. yes there is a lot of vanilla and little sweet. but ill drink it up in a mixer.
Was hesitant at first when I look at it... it looks like a Bulleit Bourbon bottle 😂. I tried it 2 days ago.. It isn't bad... It's sweet.. But I found it decent.. Wish they lower the price a bit.. Now it's $44.99 🫤 Arrete is my favorite Repo by far tho and cheaper
Got as close to 3 minutes, as I could, and I decided to throw in those other brands to tell you about, that were a better deal.

Well said...
What are they?
Better and less money always wins. Thanks Lou.
Will this tequila be still good 2 years later I got a bottle been sitting in my cupboard for like a year or 2

Hi Lou I have a friend going to New York I n 6 weeks do you think they would be able to find tears of lloren ? Thanks

@@longislandloutequila7208 great thanks very much I will pass on the info
Honest and direct. And thanks for the price comparisons. Also, you usually mention the cork. What are your thoughts on this one?
No I mentioned that the top was cool, that it reminded me of the old grolsch beer I used to drink as a kid. I like the bottle, and I had no problem with it, except I think it was just average juice at best
I just found this for 34. Bought it but haven't tried it yet.
Well that's a good price and I would say it's definitely worth it
Lou , where were you able to find this on long island ?
I bought it on drizly
Awesome thank you
Lou, it's La Gree-to-nah, great review amigo, cheers
Okay thanks I appreciate it
Great tequila. Especially for new tequila drinkers
Yes, definitely more for new drinkers
Great Review on this one. It’s really like you said that plastic is a younger agave.
Lou, dont you think is a cheap version of Tears of la Llorona ?
@@longislandloutequila7208 but even they tried to copy part of the bottle.
Great content Lou. Like your channel !
Oh I see what you were saying, because of the top. That's pretty much a standard top, that some beers use as well. Tears is a whole different type of bottled, just the same top.
People either love or hate the funk. A pass for me, Lou. Thanks for the review!
Had me concerned with all the funky notes shrimp and fishy and such. Not sure I'll go out if my way for this one. Thanks for the info!
I wasn't as impressed as other people, but for the price, it was drinkable
It’s actually pretty good just not amazing. I didn’t smell anything fishy personally but it tastes and smells like a natural version of whatever Casamigos Repo thinks it is.
I agree and I've had it again since this review. I picked up on all of that, and I will say I have no reason to ever really buy this
$31.99 right now at Costco California
That's a really slammin' price
37.99 Costco Northern California
Stick with arette or cimarron as i primarly mix tequila but would even go tres agave or even a el espalon before id buy this one and its like $40 by me in California and i live in a pretty big tequila town as were about 80% latino mexicans here.
Always the truth from Lou. He is the gold standard in reviewers!
Thank you Remy
Makes a good margarita, no doubt
Where can i find El Tequilino at that price?
I don't know I would try online I never see it where I live unfortunately, maybe old town
This is the only review I've seen that isn't a fan.
As I mentioned, it's drinkable and it's seems to be well made, but I just don't see a reason to rave about it, like others have
@@longislandloutequila7208 Thats fair. It has gotten a lot of hype and I till haven't tried it yet.

@@capibn - I couldn't agree more
It’s great Lou it’s better then Don julio 😊
This is by far not a favorite brand of mine and I understand that each batch is a hit or miss, but almost anything is better than Don Julio
I love it. Killed about 4 bottles in 3 months
It tastes like a lighter fluid mix. Kind of like it will fight back. I hate buying it and will no longer drink it even if free. This is the 1st time I have trashed alcohol
I wasn't impressed
Just my 2 cents. I do like the bottle, but I did not care for this reposado. Something tastes a little off.
Can't disagree with you there
hi i just pick this up today, its not so bad i would score 79, straight up on rocks, pretty smooth. yes there is a lot of vanilla and little sweet.
but ill drink it up in a mixer.
Agree
$48 now
Yep just like everything else, prices are way up
you lost me on jack daniel barrels 🤢
Most discussing fucking tequila ever Sauza is patron compared to this shit. Great vidio though !
La gree-tona 😬

Agree.. It's not one of my favorites, but it's drinkable
