Better. Definitely not worse!For better or worse , I'm a huge tequila fan w/about 20 bottles or so.
Interesting observation. You might be on to something here. I love scotch and my favorite tequilas are anejos.I love the agave flavor and don't like scotch, so I stick to blancos and reposados.
I drank Herradura Anejo for years but in the last few years have branched out. The 4 Copas Anejo is absolutely delicious. I have a bottle of the Casa Noble Anejo that I'm about half-way through; it is good but no match for the 4 Copas.Some favorites include 4 Copas blanco -- organic and toward the spicy side. Cabo Wabo blanco -- toward fruity. Chinaco reposado -- somewhere in the middle. Casa Noble reposado -- very complex. Dos Abuelos blanco (bought in Mex., don't know if it's avail here) - balanced. Clase Azul reposado -- aged in sherry casks which gives a slight sweetness to the imparted woodiness -- amazing, unique, expensive here. All of the above are very smooth. There are obviously a ton of other good brands including Herradura and Partida.
It burns clean but is easily (IMO) surpassed by other blancos. Actually, I'm amazed Patron blanco is sold as much as it is. Great marketing, I suspect.Patron is fine if perhaps less complex than some other blancos.
I like Purasangre too. Am going to Mexico in Nov. and will be leaving room in the suitcase for a haul. Any Mezcal recs?
Yep, very easy place to be. Did some nice diving on my own, then snorkeling with
Y wife and kids in Akumal, really pleasant little village. Was a kick to see my 5 and 7 yo girls when they saw sea turtles in the water.
