Having a problem with Tequila - please help
Today I am testing four tequilas against each other. I am having problems telling the difference between 3 of the four of them. Perhaps someone can
help me determine which is best. Do any Nomads have experience in this area?
The four are:
- Milagro, Select Barrel Reserve, Anejo
- Penca Azul, Reposado
- La Quemada, 4 Copas, Anejo
- Patron, Anejo
So far the Patron has fallen far behind. SInce it is 1/2 the price of the other ones, I am not surprised. I am having problems with the other three.
I keep tasting and tasting and they all seem to be the same.

Keep going Gull, and before you know it Patron will catch up. Garanteed.

Por Dios el se va a emborrachar sin distinguir cual es cual. Por lo menos enjuaga la boca despues de cada traguito.
Translation: My God he is going to get drunk before he distinguishes which one is which. At least rinse out your mouth after each drink.

Are you testing these at the landfill or some other place? Ambience means a lot.

That just goes to show you. You get what you pay for. And after a certain price you don't get much more. Law of diminishing returns. I went to several
tequilla tastings where alot of high end tequillas were offered. For the most part they were all good. Each having its own little nuance in flavor and
finish. Some lower priced tequillas were also present and some showed surprisingly well against some of the higher priced ones. Usually by the time
people find out and start buying lots of the "great value tequilla" the price starts to go up. Sort of like what happened with Cazadores a while back.
It was priced about the same as El Jimador.
Well have fun and heed ELINVESTI8 advice and leave the lime and salt out of this! My friend really likes the Penca Azul Reposado. Maybe I can get him
to comment as he has been on a high end tequilla buying binge as of late.

It is kind of like when tasting wines, you are not supposed to swallow, otherwise you get too drunk to taste any difference.

More cars today are fuel injected so, carburator cleaner is in less demand.

Dennis, your application for J.C., and I'm not talking about the guy whose birthday we just celebrated, is a significant upgrade from the factory's
recommendation. Pahtuuuuweeeeee!

three of Tequila to a New Years Eve Party ... the only ones I know about are Cuervo and 1800 ... there will be some "Tequila Experts" at the party and
I don't want to disappoint them. Thanks in advance |

Problems with Tequila? Have had problems that were the result of consuming too
much Tequila.

This may or may not be considered a hijack, but with high end tequilas now outpricing single malt scotches, I've been exploring the better quality
rums. Yesterday, I found some Havana Club 7 year old Cuban rum in SLRC. I was just a wee bit concerned that it might get confiscated coming back but
just declared it as " a bottle of rum" with no further questions asked. It's very nice neat or on the rocks. Race week I lucked out and found a
bottle of my old favorite, Ron Huasteca Potosi, in San Quintin. I guess it was because there are so many people from central Mexico there now. I
haven't been able to find it around here on either side. It's the one in the distinctive green barrel shaped bottle with a parrot on the label. I
like it because it's NOT highly refined. You can sort of taste a hint of molasses or fresh pressed cane juice. If you can appreciate the difference
in taste of raw sugar, brown, course etc. over white, you'll know what I mean. And of course Rhum Negrita has always been a favorite: "No mess
around".
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
