Favorite Tequilas

I’ll get mine open once we are back home in a few weeks.

 

Anybody recognize these? One’s probably 15 years ago, the other maybe 18 years. Bought them on separate trips to Mexico. Haven’t opened either of them. Clearly one of them isn’t sealed as well.

Debating on opening the toro simply because it’s slowly disappearing. The other still makes a decent display.

 

I have a bottle of Aha Toro we picked up on a cruise to Mexico. The bottle of mine is blue though. It was pretty good when we drank it. I try to pick up interesting looking bottles when we go to Mexico.

 

Wondering about the aging. Probably should just do it.

 

As long as it smells like tequila and not like mildew or mold then you should be good to go.

 

What about Mezcal. Anyone have any suggestions? We've had great Mezcal out at restaurants but the ones we've tried from Total Wine haven't been great.

 

I wish they still sold Aha Toro here!!!

That stuff is good!

 

Just do a cruise and pick up a bunch. We used to bring back a bunch every cruise that we would get in Mexico. Think I need a cruise again next year.

 

Last trip to Cabo a year ago, I looked at duty free and nothing. But that was one spot. I'll keep my eyes peeled next time.

 

We hit the stores off the main track so that it’s cheaper.

 

If you enjoy it, that's all that matters.

 

I know this...
This is hands down the best I ever had. It was 250 usd down in puerto vallarta and worth every single penny.
Finishing this off at the moment. It’s been nice.

I’ve heard The Rock’s tequila is out of this world.

 

Is the first one worth opening after so long, or does Tequila turn bad? The seal seems pretty good so it's not disappearing. The second is slowly going bye-bye through evaporation. Or fairies... really hard to tell.

 

In my experience spirits only get smoother through time, so I would go ahead and drink that any day. The one that’s evaporating I would definitely get into first.

My grandad was given two bottles, one scotch and one rye whiskey, by the canadian airforce after wwII that were both aged 15 years at the time (1930 production) and we drank one on his death anniversary last year which made it 90 years old lol.
I can’t even really describe it other than it was so very smooth..

 

I may have to find and age a bottle or two in case it’s just a passing fad. We are talking about ‘The’ Rock, yes?

 

Yes. It’s called Teremana and apparently, flavour wise, legit as fuck. Not sure about down there but impossible to find in Canada.

 

I've only had the Blanco so far and it was pretty decent. I'm waiting for my local guy to get the reposado in so I can try that out.

 

Alcohol of any sort does not age in glass. Why do they put it in wooden barrels for x-years? If it's in glass, it's as ready to drink now as it will be 20 years from now. Only, you will be 20 years older.

 

Well red wine definitely does, so chalk a loss onto your claim there.
I guess that 90 yr old bottle of scotch was just that damn tasty to begin with
