Best tequila review I have seen yet! I am enjoying a bottle of Casamigos Blanco which is quite nice. I use it in proper margaritas. Using good tequila in a cocktail negates the need for adding sweetener to the cocktail (the Cointreau adds enough sweetness). Tequila's 2 biggest issues are 1. the audacious bottles that some distillers put their swill into, and 2. The harsh, low quality 50% agave, 50% diesel that some distillers are bottling.
I’m drinking some El Jimador right now. It’s smokier than I thought which I really like. I didn’t realize it was so inexpensive but still 100% additive free, which is wonderful which is wonderful.
I love that these New Zealanders are drinking tequila. If you can’t make a good comment shut up don’t forget they’re down under which is wonderful. Keep your bad comments to yourself.
My cheap go to has always been 1800 at gigs. I stumbled across El Jimador accidentally and it became my new go to. Any friend that I have who also likes tequila and has tried it. agrees that it's great for its price range.
Excellent and enjoyable review chaps. I do like a drop of quality tequila from time to time but if you want to go Mexican mezcal is the way to go. It's not cheap, because it is genuinly artisan, but boy is it good. My favourite producers are Del Maguey and Pierde Almas. Higher proof and far more interesting than most tequila.
That actually rings a bell... Skeletons on the bottle? I think Sam, or tech guy, had an old bottle of that knocking around for years. So it must be avaliable here somewhere.
Assuming the bottle is to be believed then it is 100% agave. That percentage shouldn't have any bearing on it's capacity to produce headaches though. If anything, the cheaper bottles that are cut with what's effectively vodka have more refined spirit in them, and so should be (marginally) better for hangovers.
www.mexifoods.co.nz/shop/alcoholic-drinks/premium-tequilas Here you go. Are these better Tequilas? I haven't used the website myself but it is NZ based.
They're not totally outrageous, but whiskyandmore is quite a bit better (not nearly as wider selection though). Although good (or even just better) Tequila the country over is pretty much overpriced across the board due to its scarcity.
personally I think I would prefer to explore Gins if I was to venture away from Whisky and Bourbon. But then again I don't think I have actually ever tried a Tequila that is even slightly better than budget level.
I purchased a bottle of El Jimador Reposado based on your review... this tequila is harsh... burns from the start all the way down...and a rather strange taste.. I am going to stick to El Tesoro and Forteleza ... I can not understand how it is the top selling tequila in Mexico except for the cheap price there...
now that i watched it in it's entirety, neither of these guys know anything about tequila. jose cuervo as his go to? please. white jellybean? wtf? yeah. we all know exactly what that tastes like
Nope nope nope... Just bought this today befor watching this video. Me and my wife tasted this exact same tequila while watching this video. And nope wow it was good at first but the after was harsh. This bottle is gonna sit on the shelf for a long time.
El -Jim-ah-door? Joe-say? Really? So, is that like Jag-you-are or Nick-ah-rag you-ah? It's correctly pronounced: HEEM, El-Heem-Ah-Door (the J is a soft Spanish "H" as in HIM) and it's Hoe-zay, again with soft Spanish "H", not Joe-Say. There's a good lad.

I like 1800 too, especially the silver. But at twice the price of El Jimador in our territory the value proposition just can't justify it.

I am on lockdown had a bottle of this saved for emergency!! Pretty fucking good in a pinch!!
If it ain't 100% pure agave walk away!
Definitely try Espolon tequila if you can find it.

Is that Scott Dixon?
Is this really 100% Agave as stated on the bottle? I had like 4 shots in an hour and got the worse headache right away.

You leave this same comment everywhere.
Tequila must be 100% blue agave
Only if it's marked as 100%, otherwise it only needs to contain 51% blue agave and the rest can be made up of neutral spirit.
What this comment means is it should be 100% mate if not you sacrifice taste and quality and essentially you were ripped off
@@joeyv4362 then this comment is pointless because it is 100%
@@rrzro3622 yeah 100% bullshit so blow me
First time I smelled it, I thought of grass or herbs? Haha

That's certianly the widest range I've seen over here. Some of those prices though...
Ok, I wasn't sure if the prices were good or not as I don't buy Tequila.

El Tesoro is far better. I do enjoy El Jimador for mixed drinks for its value.
You wrote this on someone else's review

They did pronounce it right like 77% of the time, to be fair.
@@maynardburger To be fair, they did not. There is too much "Jim" in "El Jimador" in case of the guy on the right.
Calm down bro.
