#tequila #1942 #donjulio - บันเทิง
Your guy’s list is perfect. I would add if I’m spending up to $200 on a bottle I’ll spend a extra $50 and get Tears Of Llorona Extra Anejo.
Aren't they like 300
Tears of llorona I think is cheaper than 1942 and casamigos
@@frankmurillo422 $250 and up
Tried 1942 for the first time in Mexico recently. If you haggle the price down it was a pleasant summer sipper, however...1942 is clearly the JW Blue label of the tequila world.
Just found a Fortaleza Anejo and it's fantastic. Butterscotch, pepper, vanilla, agave. Thanks for the hype
Thank you so much for a great video. Great list! I also enjoy the añejo for around $60 from tequila 123. El Tequileño gran reserva repo/ añejo is also great imo
great video, glad I found your channel !
Great choices, guys. I’d like to throw El Tesoro Añejo/XA and El Tequileño Gran Reserva añejo into that mix.
Keep it up! Great educational video.
Found Tapatio Anejo up here in Canada for $109 CDN. Love it. Highly recommended!
Solid suggestions CPU! I haven’t had the 1146, but I own everything else and I agree, much better use of your money than 1942.
Thanks guys. You're my go to for tequila info
PS. after a couple drinks, you guys must be a blast. lllll
Great video! I would rather have any of your choice’s or Tequila Ocho, Siete Lagruas, El Tesoro, any G4
When I first started my journey in "premium" tequila, 1942 was at the top of most lists along the likes of Cuervo's Reserva de la Familia. I would find if for about $100. Now that I know better, I find much better options out there for less. i.e. ArteNOM 1146, Don Fulano anejo, Ocho anejo, G4 anejo, Fortaleza.
Great choices gentlemen. I agree with your picks. I visited the Los Abuelos distillery last month and I picked up a bottle of the añejo. It's truly amazing. The Don Julio 1942 has additives and is decent at best imo. Definitely better options to be had for a lower price point.
Salud
Cheers! Thanks!
Gotta try some of these
Great video boys!
Thanks!
I'm still working on my bottle of El Jimador Anejo that bought over a year ago. Damn tasty but I have nothing to compare it to as far as Anejos.
Awesome list I will be definitely looking to try each of these suggestions. I recently dived into mezcal after visiting Oaxaca and just wondering your guys thoughts on mezcal ?
We have not done any content on mezcal yet - but definitely have a few on our radar (as well as some sotol).
I'm definitely curious on your take on mezcal and sotol @Curiosity Public
Such a great PSA
Great video on 3 tequilas that taste better for less, however can you guys do a video on tequilas that taste like 1942 for less. In this video only Fortaleza was mention to have the same taste.
I only support Tequila Companies that are free of additives. I'm glad y'all put this information out there. The majority of the big brands scam the consumer.
Just like Cincoro, I don’t think anyone really likes it. They just like the novelty of being able to walk around with the bottle.
Cincoro does not even taste like tequila, more like a vanilla liquor
As a newbie who likes whisky and hadn't had many tequilas, I thought 1942 was great. It hits a lot of notes whisky drinkers like but now with experience I've learned about additives which I try to avoid. Currently I prefer Blancos to aged tequilas anyway, Fortaleza especially. I had Fortaleza Añejo once in a bar and liked it very much but it was years after 1942 so it's hard to remember the specific differences.
Just a side note, I do prefer the blue lighting backdrop, I was rewatching the Highland Park Cask Strength no.1 review and noticed everything looked more crisp and clean.
Thanks for the feedback! The blue is a bit brighter for sure.
The majority of the DJ 1942 and Clase Azul demographic are not buying the juice in the bottle they are buying the actual bottle or clout that come with it. I would like to see you recommend Rey Sol, Tears of llorona, Tequila Ocho XA, match presentation but with superior juice.
I've had all except for the Artenom. But I've had several bottles from NOM 1146 (El Tequileno). All fantastic and, in my opinion, are a better value and overall better tequila than 1942. I could add others anejos from El Tesoro, Ocho, Suerte, Don Pilar, Siete Leguas. and many more. Take that with a grain of salt. I think Tres Agaves Anejo is, for the money, better than most anejos on the shelf.
Heritage Of Silver, which you have go across the border for, is almost as good as these, but for a price not far over Cuervo!
For me, I buy very little tequilas inside the USA, because it's "mixto".........half the real tequila and half mixed with other tequilas. Buy a bottle of Don Jolio in MX (with the sticker on it) and buy a bottle here, then do a taste test, and you will see they aren't the same.
They put that sticker on bottles in MX, so that you know it's 100% & not mixto. I learned this the hard way with Hornitos Commemorative.
What about el Tesoro anejo how does that measure up with your alternatives?
Love it!
I caught a TYPO: 3 Tequilas WAY WAY WAY BETTER (and CHEAPER) than Don Julio 1942! L0L! Awesome line up I approve 110%!!!
What about Tequila Almeca silver, or Tequila Sierra?
Just want to clarify toque comment about 1942. You say it's an anejo. I saw on my bottle that it says Extra Anejo
I have a bottle of 1942 I bought around 10 years ago. It is still half full because it is so damn boring that I have no interest in drinking it. When I bought it, it was still pretty well respected and I was fully expecting to like it. It was boring with no agave taste, or interesting barrel flavors, just vanilla. A friend of mine who has been into Tequila longer than me was surprised I didn't like it. At the same time I bought a Casa Noble 5 yr XA for about the same price and it absolutely blew it away.
Honestly, I would choose almost any anejo I currently own over 1942. Fort, El Tesoro, El Tequileno, Pasote, Siete Leguas, Tapatio, Suerte, Gran Dovejo, Don Pilar, Don Fulano. The current Casa Noble in the tall square bottle is not what it used to be - now seems to me to have some unnatural vanilla taste - but even that would give 1942 a run. I would probably even take lunazul "extra aged" anejo aged in Elijah Craig barrels.
Arette Extra Anejo is better than all these
what about EL tesoro
Oh boy!
Fortaleza Still Strength 🔥
El Tesoro Paradiso
Heartbreaking but appreciate the education. Thanks for informing us 1942 is to Tequila as Blantons is to Whiskey. Cheers 🥃
I was gonna say the Pappy Van Winkle of tequila.
1942 is the Blantons, the Don Julio Real is the pappy van winkle 😂
@@jasonpribyl3916 well, i just saved $250.
Hombre sent me !
Porfidio Extra Anjeo - Better and cheaper than 1942
Hip hop is why, they have it all in their songs
Not sure what Anejo means or extra Anejo I enjoy tequila but I normally drink a reposado could you please explain the difference
Sure -
Blanco/silver are unaged, or aged up to 2 months
Reposado (means "rested") is aged 2-12 months
Añejo ("aged") is aged 1-3 years
extra Añejo is aged 3+ years
most are usually aged in oak barrels (often used bourbon barrels).
I dont think you can have a this beats this hyped tequila without a Fortaleza all their stuff is good price and taste
Fortaleza is about £95
i like sauza. for 13$ i get drunk and have enough left over for some pbr to chase it
Tequila adictivo. Añejo or extra añejo…you’re welcome
Unfortunately they use additives! Most likely including artificial sweeteners. Try one of the bottles we recommended and you should be able to notice a stark difference between additive free tequilas and the sugary additive ones.
You have to do a blind Anejo price point $100
definitely! We have more tequila blinds coming in the future!
Tbf its extremely easy to do better and cheaper than 1942. I like el jimador more than i like 1942. 1942 and clase azul just taste like additives. Its all in the marketing.
Great topic for a vid, but it’s totally begging for a blind.
Tres Mujeres
The buyer at my local Costco pointed on an extra anejo Saint Matias. He said for it's price point, $39.99, it can't be beat. He said it was a poor rebranding of a something *sol, a bottle shaped like a sun. Sorry, I'm a Tequila pre-newb. Ever tried it?
Hmm.. there are a couple *Sol* brands out there. Have not tried them all. One general rule is that if the bottle looks really fancy, they are usually compensating for poor quality tequila (and also probably using additives). Not always the case, but often is.
Not sure about Sol, but San Matias gran reserva extra anejo is really good for $45 bucks or so. And reportedly is additive-free.
@@CuriosityPublic FWIW... Rey Sol Tequila Casa San Matias was the previous name. You guys have a great weekend!
I think Rey Sol is additive free actually. Never tried it, but have heard the extra anejo is solid.
I have tried the 1942 at a restaurant and I was totally disappointed. Glad I only paid for a pour. I enjoy Cantera Negra better, but I also haven’t tried any of those other tequilas.
Where is Ocho?
exactly
You guys are dreaming, lol. Confirmed by how your Fortaleza came in 4th place in your taste tests and wasn't quite as good as you thought.
I noticed that too. Very odd
@@rustybucket5465 first it wasn’t the anejo they were testing in the blind. Second of all it’s still an amazing tequila. It came in 4th against 3 tequilas that are also considered the best in the world. That’s like clowning someone for going to the Olympics and winning a bronze medal
I think if y’all need a fill in for Jules I’m your guy. Doesn’t say much just agrees a lot and likes to drink tequila 😊
DJ 1942 is not worth the cost. The same goes for Clase Azul too. Lots of tequilas better and cheaper than 1942/Azul.
Whatever...1942 is damn good.
Yeah keep drinking your overpriced agave sugar water. Leave the good stuff to people that actually like tequila
I have been saying this for awhile now. That tapatio excelencia is phenomenal… well all of the bottle you showcased to be honest. Please stop making videos, I want my tequilas to stay on the shelves
1942 uses artificial coloring and flavoring... but.... people like it why ?? because its smooth a with no burn...
Even G4 and Fortaleza blanco beat Don Julio 1942...Here is the problem guys...The hype has caused these to become semi-unicorns
I dont think ive ever seen a store here that doesnt always have 1942. Maybe its a region thing.
@@LeatherDaddy97 Yes I meant G4 and Fortaleza are unicorns due to hype....Don Julio is more available
@@royn8032 oh i misunderstood. My bad
G4 = Jose Cuervo
I can think of 30 that are better
Don Julio 70th clear anejo at $65 better then all this tequila
Surprised you've found a cristalono to be better, but to each their own!
In your blind tastings Fortalezo scores low.
“ Scored low”against 4 other tequilas that are widely considered the best in the world. It’s a fantastic tequila that’s still deserving to be called one of the best.
I'll take 4 bottles of Ocho
No Teremana? Fake news!
Teremana is not bad but not additive free as far as I know.
Tastetequila has a list of additive free brands.
Arte Nom 1146 is awesome!
I'll say it... Don't buy 1942
People love 1942 so they can impress their friends with their money. It's literally nothing special for it's price point.
If true why do they stop at 42 with the “impressing”? $165 is hardly expensive or something to brag about. Try again
@@rustybucket5465 Someone's mad they are wasting all their money on 1942 lol.
Tapatio really? Wow palate is subjective. That stuff taste bad, I’ve blind tested it multiple times with several different people. Please tell me none of these are sponsors.
