absolutely. after too many years being a bar owner and being at the mercy of the consumer who's at the mercy of the marketer I believe that what ever
beer,tequila, whisky you are now drinking is hands down the best, and all other is swill. at least until marketers convince you theres a new
cooler,hipper drink on the horizon!

"Pork -- The Other White Meat"
My decades-old moonshine tequila housed in an 8 gallon Heitz Cellars pony barrel will knock the socks off of any 200 dollar a bottle tequila. It came
to me in the back seat of a vochito (I wasn't allowed to go see the still), and into the barrel it went and off to Guadalajara se fue. There Luis my
tee-totaling Cuban buddy and his spouse tended it. I buy 100 ml bottles at the farmacia and give the tequila away to friends on their birthday. It is
a dark tea color now, and ancianos, people who know tequila declare it "padrisimo". Robert, a Canadian friend had a snifter of it in 2010 and said "My
god! This nectar belongs in the record book". It's safe. It was moved (without my knowledge) this last spring to Eduardo's "basement" in Lazaro
Card##as. I think it has 5 maybe 6 gallons left. To me it is way smoother than Remy Martin or Courvousier.
PS: I had a hell of a time getting that (empty) keg through Aduana at Nogales. Some 20,000 peso banknotes became involved.

"This Is Not Something A Tourist Would Bring"
I remember the words verbatim. Well, you know how it works. I had to get "special permission".

I have no stake in the game other than to say Cuervo is my tequila of almost last resort. If the only other option is Pepe Lopez I'll be grateful for
Jose Cuervo but that doesn't make it good ... just slightly better than the stuff sold in gallon plastic jugs in the liquor stores near college
campuses.

Willardguy I agree. I recently discovered "El Compare". Under fifty pesos makes it a great buy. I continue taste test any and all below the hundred
peso mark seeking compadres for my "El Compare"

I give up. What is it? The beer look's like a Foster's. What's the tequila?
And what's the locale?

Denis so much for your educated guess, Do you want to try for door number two or door number three next? At this point there is only a fifty fifty
chance you will be wrong again.
