Is there anything better? I think not.

Corello Anejo is amazing, posssibly some of the best tequila I have ever had. What is your favorite?

Whiskey.
Quote from familyfirst :
Try Camarena - we were avid Patron drinkers until someone suggested we try Camarena, its half the price and so smooth!
Though this stuff isn't bad either.

Sauza Reposado is also a good, inexpensive tequila.

Wait for Raddish, he's a connoisseur of fine tequilas. I learned much of what I know from his posts.

I like 1800 and Patron on the rocks. I've heard good things about Lanuzul (sp?), but haven't had the pleasure.

I don't care for Sauza or Cuervo.

Not the morning after finishing off a fifth of cuervo.

Quote from dealgate :
Does anyone have an opinion on what Tequila tastes good with a low price? I love Don Julio and Patron but they are SUPER expensive. The lesser makers, even though 100% agave, aren't so good.

I need a decent cheaper Tequila!
Corralejo Anejo is by far one of the best tequilas to ever pass through my lips. It's not 'inexpensive', but it costs less than Don Julio (which I love) and Petron (which I hate). Petron doesn't taste like tequila at all, actually. I consider it for novice tequila drinks who simply don't like the taste of a good tequila. Yucky


For the price, two tequilas that I find pleasantly palatable on a budget are the Sauza Reposado and Camarena Reposado. El Jimador is slightly more expensive than those and also a very good choice for budget minded tequila drinkers.


1800 is not bad, but all of the above are better in my opinion.


As a general rule, I have yet to come across an Anejo that I didn't find at least palatable, some worth their premium, others not so much. Reposados are good when you hit restaurants that don't have much to choose from (I tend to order a double over rocks), and silvers are for mixing. I find silvers much too sharp for my taste to sip.


Get a hold of the Corralejo Anejo, and for the $$, I argue that it is one of the best tequilas to pass your lips. Sip it, don't shoot it. Savor it and enjoy it.

I tried some right after your initial post and was amazed. For $30, that's some damn good tequila.
