    A friend turned me onto Hornitos Black and I only drink my tequila straight now. I'm sure there are better tequilas, but maybe not at that price point.

    I have bad memories of Hornitos, evey year at deer camp a buddy brings a bottle of Black and a bottle of Silver. The best thing to do after a night of Hornitos's, is get your deer first thing the next morning so you can nap in the fetal position on the bottom of the deer stand the rest of the day.

    I'm glad it's only a once a year thing. I do enjoy the Crown Royal Apple on the rocks those go down real good while enjoying the tunes.

    I enjoy a nice glass of Cab for probably 15-20 minutes each glass.
    Beer I usually drink one in about the same time or a little less. I also don't drink a lot per sitting. 1-3 glasses of wine and I'm good and depending on how heavy the beer is about the same 1-3 beers.

    Back in the day, after 3 drinks (the forth would take me to a freedom realm), I'd be off the wagon and wanting to drink and party till the sun came up the next morning. :p

    I don't remember if I ever saw the sun come up once. :s:'(

    I would drink about 2+ an hour. Like a former member said, I didn't like the beers or drinks to get warm either!

    A lot of people like Hornitos and its, sort of, Juicy Fruit gum flavor profile :) FYI, the Hornitos Black is not 'black' from barrel aging. They add food coloring and caramel flavoring to get it that way :/

    Hornitos, and really all Sauza products, use a non-traditional, industrial-type process to make their tequila. I am personally more of a purist, but I have to pay more to get it!

    The MOST IMPORTANT thing to look for when buying tequila are the words "100% Agave" on the bottle. If you don't see 100%, that means it's a "mixto", so only 51% agave distillate, and the rest probably from sugar distillate. This will give you a nasty hangover. The poster child for mixtos is Jose Cuervo Gold or Silver.

    Way too many great Tequila's out there to drink any of the Hornito's or Sauza stuff. Jose Cuervo is just garbage

    Quervo isn't a decent footwash and Padron is pretty bad too.

    I'd like to try this. I really liked the Cabo Wabo tequila so I hope this is a good mix as well.

    Patron doesn't taste bad IMO, but for the price it should taste a lot better and have more character. It's not offensive, just rather bland. I have a feeling things will not get any better now after selling to Bacardi.

    Older Cabo Wabo (before Sammy sold-out) was pretty good. It has bounced around to several different distilleries, though...I believe the brand is at it's fifth different distillery at this point :open_mouth:

    Yes, Santo Mezquila is his latest venture, partnering with Adam Levine. Even though it's touted as 100% agave, I haven't seen any information citing their manufacturing processes. Since it's not classified as either tequila or mezcal, there are no regulations they have to follow...a little scary. Toby Keith's mezcal, Wild Shot, is awful.

    There are several nice brands of tequila out there right now. The problem is random distribution, so it varies by state as to what is available. One good brand that has pretty good distribution at this point is Fortaleza http://tequilafortaleza.com They use old-school processes in making their juice. The founder and master distiller is a descendant of the Sauza family, but he's brought back traditional technics techniques to honor his grandfathers.

    Well I have not had any since Sammy owned it, it was darn good at that point. I had not realized it had bounced so many times... too bad.

    The Mezquila is no where to be found in my area. I have asked for it but I guess all the local distributors are all tied up in court to see who will distribute the darned stuff. This has happened so many times in my area that there have been times that the particular alcohol never makes it at all.

    With a celebrity endorsement (or ownership), things often change once said celebrity cashes-in and sells out. This happened with Vince Neil's tequila as well, Tres Rios. It has not bounced around distilleries as much (only once), but new is NEVER as good as old in practically every situation...including audio brands changing hands :) Speaking of celebrities cashing-in, George Clooney and his partner recently sold Casamigos tequila for like a billion dollars, and that stuff is like cotton candy...in a bad way IMO.

    pitdogg, you should just go for REAL mezcal if you're interested. Where are you located?

    Sorry, my friend, but DJ is anything but small batch. They are owned by the huge liquor conglomerate Diageo, and rank eighth in overall tequila production. You mentioned 'flavor', and I agree their juice is artificially flavored...I would guess coconut extract. It does go down easy, though.

    Your wrong about Hornitos. It is 100% blue agave and actually black gets its color from aging in used bourbon barrels. Also fyi, Sauza gold and blanco are 100% blue agave even though not advertised. The reason, the agave plant is quite abundant now. There are more 100% blue agave tequilas than ever now. Where in the world did you get your misinformation about Sauza?

    I dont know a lot about tekillya. But this is always my go to for margaritas. Thats about 99% of my tequila use is in margaritas.

    If they dont have that ill do 1800 Silver. For some reason a only like the clear tequilas.
