Review: Socorro Anejo Tequila

We recently reviewed the blanco version of Socorro, and found it to be closer to what you’d expect from an anejo (or at least a cristalino) tequila… but the flavors

Review: Cuestion Reposado Tequila

We reviewed the blanco version of this quizzical tequila earlier this week and found it to be a solid (if a little overpriced) spirit. The only issues in the blanco

Review: Cuestion Blanco Tequila

It’s not often that I can use the phrase “question mark of a bottle” literally. Typically, this would describe a bottle that I’ve never heard of before, or a spirit

Review: JAJA Anejo Tequila

Today we’re rounding out the product line of JAJA Tequila. We started with the youngest version (their blanco straight off the still), checked in with their middle aged reposado, and

Review: JAJA Reposado Tequila

When we first tried JAJA Tequila back in 2021, we checked out their blanco version and stopped there. But since their new partnership with Proximo Spirits, things are looking up

Review: JAJA Blanco Tequila

I love a good redemption story, and it sounds like that’s exactly what the folks at JAJA Tequila are working on. They launched their first version of their tequila in

Review: Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative

Margaritas are probably the cocktail we make most often in my own house (we do live in Austin, after all) — and while a good margarita is delicious, it can

Tequila Review: Lobos 1707 Reposado

We recently reviewed LeBron James’ Lobos 1707 joven tequila, and really enjoyed it. It was more complex than a standard blanco tequila (due to some time well spent in PX

Review: Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila

Usually, in the world of tequila, anejo is about as aged as it gets. It usually spends a little over a year aging in a barrel, but there’s actually no

Review: 818 Tequila Blanco

Celebrity tequilas are a bit hit or miss. Casamigos is a downright banger, but other brands like Jaja have been bitter disappointments. And since the Kardashians are some of the
