Always appreciate a little good news. Had to postpone my month long Baja trip to Jan 4 for truck maintenance and weather dodging. Last stop for
supplies is San Felipe. Reccomend to me a white tequila that is oh so smooth, and the best liquor store in SF to get it.

Can't go wrong with Don Julio.
Chill it. Very smooth.

A liquor store to try
About 1 1/2 miles south of the first gasoline station (ARCO) as you near San Felipe is a liquor store on the east side of the highway - just south of
Km 181.
They have a nice selection of Tequila and we've been given samples to taste most of the time.

Even if you order it in a bar in MX they will chill it for you upon request. At least the good bartenders will. Especially if you do a shot with him
or her.
At home, just put it in the freezer.

Casamigos has a very nice silver. Don't know if you can actually get it in Mexico though.
Room temp for me--more flavor!

I prefer sipping at room temp and with side of sangrita.
But even good tequila is a bit harsh. I really prefer something more palatable like a whiskey or brandy.
Woke!

chalk this up to different strokes but this one was truly disappointing, tasted like any tequila but with a shot of Licor 43 in it ......and agree anything other than room temperature is just, well savage!
happy new year!
there's only two things in life but I forget what they are........

Maybe try Tesoro or Chinaco then. Best approach is to try as many as possible!

Apparently a whole lot of people who couldn't make it to Mexico have decided to bring this bit of Mexico to them this year!

Okay...I admit to being a wimp when it comes to Tequila, I stick to the Don Pancho cafe liquor. Tequila is way too strong for me.

After assesing my tequila savvy at about a 2 out of 10, I decidied to do esculela tequila 101 by google, and learned that our smoothest type is the
Anejo class! Pricey but apparently worth it. My mistake was judging the roughness of Cuervo gold against a silver brand I honestly dont remember the
name of, figgerin the darker in general would be less smooth. Learn somethin new every day

The gold in Cuervo Gold comes from food coloring not ageing.
Cuervo does make a product that is allowed in my house - Reserva De La Familia. It is a favorite for sipping.

Purported "smoothness" can be deceiving. Many anejos spend so much time in wood that the smokiness/oaky after taste can go counter to "smoothness", at
least to my palette.
Now that most every distillery is into creating a "cristal" (white/plata) that are often distilled multiple times, some of the whites are actually the
"smoothest".
But they are often lacking in true agave flavor. That's why I prefer reposados.
I actually like the Don Julio Blanco better than the Don Julio 70, if I am drinking whites.
