Stoked on this topic, and I hope the true aficionados chime in.
After seeing my own stomach lining in a steaming pile of offal after a teenage Sauza binge, I've finally found my way back to the Camino
Luminoso...the agave highway. Took 20 years.
I've developed a taste for the reposados, in particular Cazadores and Cuervo's superb Tradicional. They're not cheap: 32 and 28 bucks for a 750ml,
respectively.
I will never drink a tequila that isn't 100% Puro de Agave, as I'm not a fan of swilling 49% cane syrup...does bad things to my mornings.
NOW...if this thread yields anything, I'm hoping for an answer to this: What's the most affordable 100% de Agave tequila in Baja?
The only requirement for love or chorizo is confidence.

the Azul he's turned me on to , a reposado not anejo, beat all my prior standards of quality - Patron, Don julio and the rest can't hold a candle.

Tequila!
Put me down for a Don Julio Reposado!
Others may like the Anejos, but to me, they usually taste too much like the barrel, and not enough like the Agave. The Platas are a little too
"fresh", but Reposados seem to be the perfect blend of aging vs. freshness.

My favorite in recent years is Corralejo Reposado (the tall blue bottle). Last December at Ley in Mexicali and Calimax in Ensenada, I paid approx
$20US for a liter bottle. At BevMo here in Northern Calif I paid $26 plus tax on special last week for 3/4 of a liter. A few years ago, that was
going for approx $55 here.
It is one of the few tequilas I have seen produced in Guanajuato. I believe tequila is only licensed for production in Jalisco, Guanajuato and
Nayarit.

Until just recently Herradura has been my favorite brand, followed by Patron.
Since we went to a T-Kill-Ya tasting that is. We discovered Partida. It is now my favorite. I prefer the Blanco.
The color in the aged Reposados and Anejos are the result of aging in old burbon and whiskey barrels. Sometimes it's too strong a flavor mask of the
agave. Personal preference.
I don't know what it costs in Mexico, but it is available at Bev & More for $40/750ml.

Many distillers use the name "Azul."
Which specific Azul are you recommending?
The one with the agave sculpture in the bottom?

I once got this gallon bottle of white stuff labeled tequilla for less than 100 pesos!!! Poured it into the empty blue bottles, nobody knew the
difference... Life is too short for a bad bottle of wine.....It's all in the lime..

I've recently tried Cazadores Anejo and really enjoyed it. I typically go more for the Reposados. The problem is I get to wasted to compare all my
favorites at one sitting!! You can't go wrong with any Herradura and the price is coming down. I usually hit the larger supermercados to find the
best prices
