Make that three.elgatoloco - 5-13-2004 at 05:03 PM
Herradura! It is one of the last 'small batch' hand made Tequilas and it is ALWAYS a good bet. I love it in margaritas!!

Cabo wabo reposado,
I drank it and I thought it was candy. Besides Sammy is cool...Debra - 5-13-2004 at 08:43 PM

the Herradura Anejo.... and their Reposada is pretty good also. wilderone - 5-14-2004 at 08:22 AM
If you're making this purchase in Tijuana, check out the Tequila prices at the Gigante store across the street from the duty free store. Better
prices on some stuff. They have the $200 quality at Gigante too.Bob H - 5-14-2004 at 09:47 AM
Hmm? Bob I did not know there are 3 stores? Tell us what the locations are Ok?
Thanks!
Start a new list

On the top would be Penca Azul Reposado and second would be Penca Azul Anejo, then Cabo Wabo Reposado, then Patron Anejo, then Herradura Anejo, then
the floor or bed, whichever was closer.
Duty Free

The three listed on that website are all run by the same people, except one (not listed) that is across the street from the Border Village location.
Buying tequila there is not the lowest cost, but it is the lowest cost place for fine Scotches, Vodka and Liquers.Mexitron - 5-15-2004 at 08:10 AM
Debra,
Tequila Orendain has a "Almondine" (otherwise known as the "big guy" in our circle of Bajalchoholics)flavored tequila which is usually available on
the peninsula--don't know if that's what you thinking of though.....by the wayTequila Orendain Anejo--yah, the cheap stuff you find everywhere with
the clay shooter cup attached--gets my all around vote for bang for the buck--its not cognac but it goes down easy! Not too good for mixing
though.....elgatoloco - 5-15-2004 at 10:24 AM
it would be nice to see how the prices at this duty free store compare to large super mercados pricesin Mexico...why don't they give a price list on
their website??? I work at SFO and I see that any local super market or liquor store beats Duty Free shops any day...
Debra, as Mexitron mentioned...

The most popular version of Tequila Almendras or Almendrada is made by Orendain and it is sold at many corner liquor stores in Ensenada. It is a
really nice sweet sipper (more like a liqueur) I also have a friend that uses it in margaritas to give them an interesting unique flavor.

For a real treat try Agavero. A true tequila liqueur. Made with tequila and damiana tea. Outstanding!Bob H - 5-17-2004 at 08:19 AM
meme, the locations can be found on the link that I posted, above.
I'll give you an example of the pricing. The Herradura Anejo sells for $94 Stateside and the duty free store has it for $32. the Herradura Reposado
sells for $70+ Stateside and duty free has it for $22. Scotch, bourbon, gin, vodka are all very inexpensive - unbelievable prices! Bob H
state of confusion???
bajagrouper - 5-17-2004 at 10:01 AM
I do not what stateside store sells Herradura for $70 a bottle,up here in the S.F. bay area it's about $34 a liter,Don Julio is around $54...I wish
they would have their prices on their website...Natalie Ann - 5-17-2004 at 10:16 AM
Rick - Richmond Costco sells Don Julio for $40.Bob H - 5-17-2004 at 12:35 PM
Bajagrouper, I pulled those prices up on the internet last Friday. I have since gone back in to other sites, and I stand corrected. You can get it
cheaper at other places. But, those prices at the duty free store are the best I've seen anywhere so far.
I've also noticed that a lot of the Tequilia bottles in Mexico have dropped in size from un litro to 960 ml...and 38% instead of 40% alc. is the norm
now a days...que lastimaJESSE - 5-19-2004 at 07:56 PM

Blame that on the shortage of Blue agave that we are experiencing right now.
but why then
Anonymous - 5-19-2004 at 10:05 PM
is the Tequilia found in the USA 40% and the bottles are un litro...there may have been a shortage of blue agave a couple years ago,but have you
driven around the state of Jalisco lately? it's growing in every nook and crany...olM_Man - 5-21-2004 at 03:16 PM
The Single malt Scotch craze has reached saturation. Tequila is the "New, Hip Spirit". Demand has caught up with supply. Econ 101
