Favorite Tequilas under $50

I'm also a big fan of Don Julio 70th anniversary silver. Far and away the best silver I have had..........but I have never really done any sipping of silvers.

EDIT: I think I pay around 440 pesos for this down here, so maybe this does not qualify.

That works ONCE, but limits future campfire invitations.

I'm a generous guy, but there is a limit when it comes to high end tequila

Another vote for Don Julio for just everyday sipping..


A good 'cheap' tequila is Piedra Azul Reposado, which
has well-balanced vanilla and caramel flavors, and a 'best buy' at about $18 a bottle.

a couple folks mentioned kirkland tequila, i've never tried it but im sure its a fine tequila. I just found this review comical!


Presentation: As you would expect, Kirkland Signature brand Tequila comes in a monolithic glass structure. When full, it weighs roughly fifteen pounds. The glass is incredibly thick, which results in some wonky weight distribution. This makes pouring out of the needlessly massive spout difficult, especially if you like to drink out of normal-sized things. The decal on the bottle is what we can only assume to be an agave plant, but looks more like an upside-down octopus. The best part is that the bottom of the bottle is made of clear blue glass, so if you shine a light underneath it, the bottle turns a deep blue color. It’s awesome. Price: $18.95 for 1.75 liters History: In 2006, the body of an escaped convict was found floating in the runoff pool behind Kirkland factory located forty miles south of the Mexican-American border. Once the decomposing corpse was fished from the clear liquid, a supervisor demanded the pool’s chemical makeup be determined. “It’s tequila. My god, it’s tequila,” he muttered under his breath a week later, holding the lab report in his hand. “Someone get me Corporate.” The factory runoff was then siphoned into the remains of Kirkland’s ill-fated attempt to market glass coffins for babies, and sold at Costco locations worldwide. Taste Breakdown: Aroma: Salty dirt. Initial Taste: Dirty salt. Body: Thick, hearty, and warm. Like a Jersey Shore tide-pool. Finish: Feels like gasoline but tastes like salty dirt. When you throw it up, it tastes like stomach acid. Compare With: Any other cheap tequila. Effects: Similar drunk to that of a high-gravity forty. Users are likely to be ejected from a bar for punching out a bathroom mirror. The hangover is an intense headache with lasting nausea and heart palpitations. Remember to drink plenty of water—the tequila appears to be primarily made out of snow salt interstate runoff, so it is very dehydrating. Who Should Buy It? - People that only shop at Costco. - People who like to collect dumb bottles. - People who like to buy things that are ridiculous. - Nobody. Testimonials: “It isn’t really that bad” – Adam, Banker “After a long day at the factory, I like to unwind with a nice cool glass of Kirkland Signature Tequila. Then I punch my kids.” – John, Factory Worker “A year ago I was at Costco and thought I’d try their Kirkland brand tequila. When I got home, the bottle accidentally slipped out of my hand and landed on the dog. It snapped her back like a twig. My four-year-old daughter was watching.” Erin, TV Personality “If it’s cheap, I’ll drink it. I’m not a pussy.” – Bill, student. Goes Great With: Kirkland brand chocolate chip cookies, Kirkland brand ice cream sandwiches, Kirkland brand signature vodka, Kirkland brand Pizza, Kirkland brand salt. Literally anything Kirkland makes, which is everything. Doesn’t Go Great With: Tomato soup, laundry detergent, the movie Antz. Conclusion: As someone who knows nothing about tequila or alcohol in general, we feel qualified to say Kirkland brand Tequila is any Cinco de Mayo party’s worst nightmare. Unless one of the party activities involves the guests bludgeoning each other to death with indestructible weapons made of glass and cork. In that case, it is a Cinco de Mayo must-buy. Grade: F+ (the bottle's pretty cool.)

1.5 liter packaging for tequila seems kind of odd doesn't it? but check this out, 950ml bottles have pretty much taken over the one liter bottle, but after reading some of the good prices on gran centenario anejo I thought i'd check prices at don pisto in rosarito. 307 peso's but a closer look at the bottle, 695ml! WTF

unless something has changed in the last week!
