A couple years ago I bought a bottle of Tears of Llorona for $270 based on your review. Fantastic, and I loved it. Convince me to buy this for $500. I don't think you can. Also; why is the Statue of Liberty on the box?
Nice review! I have a standard G4 extra Anejo that’s awesome! This one sounds awesome too! All my Hispanic friends say it’s not pronounced G4 but something like Hay Quattro? What’s it called in Mexico? Just Tequila?
Thanks for always making such great videos! One suggestion; Can you always share where you bought the bottle from? When I search online, I see these for like $900+. And I think, "Where did they buy this at for $500?"
$500 is the msrp. Total Wine had them for $550 but of course sold out within a week. (This was about month ago or so. I’m sure most places that priced it around $500 sold out a month ago
Would be awesome if you do a blind tasting with a good extra Añejos like Arette XA Don Fulano XA D’antaño by 7 Leguas XA Tapatio XA Diablito from 123 Organic XA and see if really win the contest
saw this at retail and passed too. To the point about comparing to a 25 yr whisky. I look at this as a 7 yr aged spirit. Hard to ask for that price for anything with such a young aging.
Y’all make me want to buy this… but I won’t… I would maybe pay for a pour at a restaurant or bar… maybe… have to say though, I love G4 and products that come out of el pandillo..
So it's not the best ever for Aroma? But they bump up to a 10? How can you say that, a 10 is the best you have ever experienced and nothing else beats it
I have a 7 year tequila and it's pretty special. Don't know that I'd pay $500 for one but maybe if it was straight from the barrel and cask strength like mine. Mine was also sold way below a market price because the distillery owner hooked me up.
Buying one doesn't mean it is a 'value'. You can be really into something and be objective in relation to others. No $500 spirit should be anything other than a 0. Leave the bonus points for actual value drinks.
I feel that XA tequilas are dangerously close to drinking whiskey\bourbon and does not justify the price. I'm better served with the high proof blancos. G4 is still at the top of my list.
Don't justify the cost with "well, it took this long for this and this long for that." A price tag of almost $500 is absolutely unacceptable and showcases the greed of the pipeline and the predatory tactics they use to take advantage of people's fomo. Well somebody will pay it, and that's why prices continue to soar. We need to vote with our wallets but some people just can't help themselves.
Hell no. No msrp tequila at >$500 in my house ever. I'm sure it is great, but I'll take two tears of llorona 1 ltr's and a tequila ocho just to get to the $500 mark.
I could see you guys rating this release a diamond, if… A tequilero would just allow their agave to ripen well past just 6-8 years of growth like they used to back in the day. Sugar yields would be higher. A richer depth of flavor and complexity would come through. Only if the tequila industry didn’t prioritize meeting industrial levels of demand and actually honored traditional values like they say they do…. Alas, extra añejos from back in the day are likely the diamond worthy releases y’all are looking for, as they were from an era of much riper, sweeter agave…
Boys no KAP - if you say it's worth it if you have the money, it is DEFINITELY worth it if you DON'T. Sounds like a 4-5 to me. I mean what's $200 more than Tears anyway right? ;)
@@aaabbbccc543 barley grows a lot faster than the agave plant. I agree with you to a certain degree, but also see the flipside of growing agave vs a grain.
I’m here for the “I only drink Blanco or Xtra Anjeo” comment
You can probably easily tell which ones which.
Finally a review on YT ! Opening my bottle mid November for my twenty-third birthday. Salud guys 🥂
I would love to see a blind against the Tears.
I second
Add in Mijenta Reserva Anejo too to that blind!
add rey sol
You guys had me laughing the entire review 😂
Wow All of you guys made Changes to the scores, AWEZOME.
and Multiple times at that
rising above the masses😆
Dutch’s score should have been at least the same as the others. He pushed so hard for the other two to change their scores.
A couple years ago I bought a bottle of Tears of Llorona for $270 based on your review. Fantastic, and I loved it. Convince me to buy this for $500. I don't think you can.
Also; why is the Statue of Liberty on the box?
yeah - its a tough price point. It is crazy good, but also crazy expensive. Hence *only* a 2.
no clue about the box design!
How much can bring you happiness now the days, I will get two. By the way I get four tears of llorona after watch your show few years ago😊
Wish it was cheaper. If it was more affordable I’d buy. I prefer a spirit with great mouth feel with flavor that sticks to your pallet.
Nice review! I have a standard G4 extra Anejo that’s awesome! This one sounds awesome too! All my Hispanic friends say it’s not pronounced G4 but something like Hay Quattro? What’s it called in Mexico? Just Tequila?
In Spanish, goes like “Heh-Quatro”
That damn floral component, it's always missing 😄 .
Your girlfriends really need to buy you guys flowers more often if you like them that much ⚘️
Need to see a taste off vs el rey
Definitely now need a taste test against Tears Of Llorona.
Why the new scene? Traveling? Looks like a hotel suite.
Amazing!
Is this the first episode all three change their initial score?
Who's palace did you guys record at?
Worth paying that much for deserves at least a 3 on value
Dylan's "Guest House?" I don't think I believe this, but if it is his house, what the hell does he do for a living?😂
did Dillon buy the bottle or not, I don't think he gave his conlcusion on that

There is not a single thing that you swallow and ends up in the toilet that is worth 500.00
One of the other reasons I had to give up liquor lol
Yah I struggle to buy bottles at $100ish. $500 is too rich for my blood.
How does the 7yr compare to last year's 6yr old XA?
When can we get some non-tequila Mezcal???? Would love to see some Victor Ramos....
Would be awesome if you do a blind tasting with a good extra Añejos like
Arette XA Don Fulano XA D’antaño by 7 Leguas XA
Tapatio XA Diablito from 123 Organic XA and see if really win the contest
Did it earn a spot on the leaderboard?
Is it better in value then tears of llorena?
How does this compare to Terralta XA 5 years? Same distillery

At $500, it's a pass
saw this at retail and passed too. To the point about comparing to a 25 yr whisky. I look at this as a 7 yr aged spirit. Hard to ask for that price for anything with such a young aging.
+~10 years for the agave maturation. But still high for sure
At $500 it is a passsss....except I really want one. hahahahahaha. If I win in Vegas next week I am getting one. lol
I had the chance to get this for $450 but decided that the ROI was better spent on resupplying my Tears and Rey Sol for $80 more.
Y’all make me want to buy this… but I won’t… I would maybe pay for a pour at a restaurant or bar… maybe… have to say though, I love G4 and products that come out of el pandillo..
probably should be 21 to watch this and yet you censor why lol
I only buy Blanco’s and XAs. Everyone knows the rules. -maybe Dillon
Sorry G4 Tears is still $300 for a liter!
So it's not the best ever for Aroma? But they bump up to a 10? How can you say that, a 10 is the best you have ever experienced and nothing else beats it
I’m sure it’s wonderful but I’m going to get two Tears of LLorona over this any day of the week.

Come Jules come clean, why the same outfit every review🤷🏼♂️🥃
All of his closet space has been filled with bottles.
I could see you guys rating this release a diamond, if…

Yall know this be a clean 90 - reevaluate the video and up the score to a diamante!!!! LOL
tequila is soo over priced.... you can buy a bottle of 25 year scotch for the same price as this tequila bottle
