Herradura – Tequila Seleccion Suprema
Location: Mexico
Alcohol: 80 proof
Score: 95 Pts
Oohs and aahs were the reaction to this. Aromas of tobacco, yellow bell pepper, and salted caramel tantalize the nose while its savory richness on the palate uncovers a satisfying finish of spearmint and spice. Absolutely exquisite. -JA
Herradura – Tequila Coleccion de la Casa “Cognac Cask Finish” Reposado Reserva 2013
Location: Jalisco, Mexico,
Alcohol: 80 proof
Score: 92 points
Aromas of caramel and herbs edged with a hint of clove and a subtle whiff of saffron lead to butterscotch, pepper, and apricot mingling with crème brûlée and a lingering note of cedar. Very interesting.
Suerte – Anejo Tequila
Location: Mexico
Alcohol: 80 proof
Score: 93 Pts
Like Lennie from Of Mice and Men, cuddly with jasmine flower yet unaware of its sheer strength from cooked agave, black cherry, cigarette smoke, prickly pear, and a robust pico de gallo finish. – JA
Suerte – Reposado Tequila
Location: Mexico
Alcohol: 80 proof
Score: 92 Pts
The ultimate wingman for a backyard cookout, it’s a smooth operator and compellingly powerful with flavors of smoked agave, charcoal, grilled red peppers, sweet corn, and an arsenal of savory spices. – JA
