    Finally got a small 375ml bottle of Lalo to try based on your recommendations. It really is beauty in simplicity and might just become my new go-to Blanco. The high proof jumped to next on my purchase list despite other bottles being on that list a bit longer.

    I bought Lalo on your recommendation and I was not disappointed! I will try the high proof next. My brothers and I are starting to get into tasting different types of tequila, especially ones that are additive free. I did not realize the flavors are so complex.

    Lalo is a pretty good blanco. It's not my favorite personally, but it's good. It's at the right price point between $35-50, depending on one's market.
    I just bought a bottle of the high proof today.

    Just got the high proof. Great pour. I bought two bottles of the regular Lalo. I am currently barrel aging it. Excited to see how it turns out.

      You can probably pass on LALO if you already have Tequila Ocho blanco. They are very similar in my opinion. T8 being the better of the two.

      Tequila Ocho is one of the best blancos out there, though admittedly I’ve only finished 23 bottles of blanco so I’m not quite the expert yet…but I’m sipping my way there!

    I definitely wanna check out the Lalo High Proof. Though I recently went to Total Wine and decided to go for a 2nd bottle of Mijenta Maestra Selection instead, because I loved it! If T.W. still has a bottle (which they should because they had like a dozen when I went) after Christmas, I will definitely pick one up to try! Salud, Lui! 🥃✌

    @IndigoWall 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    Love the emphasis on blanco. That is tequila imho. I appreciate the aging & barreling (chasing the Scotch template), but tequila has such an interesting flavor on its own, that I don’t think it NEEDS wood to make it great.

    What a great piece!! Lalo barely has an accent. I am very curious as to where he lived as a young adult. For him to use the word "sessionable" in this video as a superlative for this product is FASCINATING! Hey Lui! I live in MASS! Where can I get a hold of the high proof?!? If my only option is to make the trek out to see you in Mboro for a glass neat then that's what I will do!

    I like Lalo because it's a "pure" tasting tequila. Slight notes to it rather than heavy notes like some other tequilas. I recently bought a bottle of the high proof and it's similar but has that high proof "warmth" to it. My friends said "Woah!" when they tried it. 108 proof is definitely noticeable when compared to the 80 proof.

    I see Lalo becoming more and more popular. A few times I've recommended it when I see people in the tequila aisle reaching for something like Casamigos, or Patron, or even Don Julio. I'd love to get my hands on the high proof stuff.

  • @jackmaxwell2
    @jackmaxwell2 24 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I think the cat might be out of the bag on this underrated gem because I used to be able to buy it for around $40 bucks all day long at my supermarket and then I noticed it started selling really well and now its around $48 bucks. Then the ocho Plata went down to about $43 so that's just my go to now. I could probably get lalo cheaper at total wine but locally that's the price in my area.

    Can you do a review on Reserva Palacios Tequila? I know it's an import but I don't know much about it. Just recently came back from Mexico with a bottle, but I'd like to know as much about it before I recommend it to others. I bought the Coffee Tequila by the way.

    @dave1986R 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

    One thing I always say about Lalo is that, in many ways, it IS what Don Julio WAS before it was sold to Diageo. Not just because it’s owned and operated by Don Julio’s grandson. But also because his aim was to get back to his family’s roots of Tequila making. The flavor profile probably isn’t EXACTLY the same as his grandfather’s Tequila was back in the day, but very close. I always thought that Lalo’s aroma & flavor is similar to that of Don Julio, but of course there’s no additives so its quality is much higher. And the profile is also richer and more organic.

    • @dave1986R
      @dave1986R 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ I’d pick Mijenta Blanco, or their Maestra Blanco. Because it’s very light, and has a very fruity and somewhat floral aroma and flavor, which is something that women seem to enjoy. Another good choice would be any one of the Tequila Ocho expressions, their tequila is very elegant. Both brands are additive-free, and absolutely fabulous.

      @cdmak1 Lalo really doesn't do it for me. Right now my favorites that i can find fairly easily would be G4, Espolon, LA Gritona, el tequileno, el Tesoro.
      I was just in vegas and found fortaleza at circa, vegas Vicky's and it was fantastic but I can't find it anywhere near me here in the PNW.
