Do you like tequila?
 

Getting beyond buzzed is no Bueno. But the occasional sipping tequila is kinda nice. Especially around a campfire. No shots!

Here is my new fav.

You?

AZUL Anejo...

I have had one, and only one, port to port pass, beyond buzzed,with Agave tequilana.

Changed my life.

It involved a 19-year-old (me), running rivers, a big woman and the metaphysical.

In '90 or '91 I discovered the more tequila you drink, the more magick mushrooms you can eat. And coincidentally, the more mushrooms you eat, the more tequila you can drink. It was a very interesting 36+ hours, and neither tequila nor mushrooms have passed my lips since.

Back when I was in my mid 20s and my little head did most of my decision making I found a new chick that loved Tequila. I figured I had a great find. That chick was a professional drinker and could kill a liter bottle of Tequila in an evening. :eek:

I sort of remember parts of that evening. I do remember waking up under the table. My face had the imprint of the rug nap. It is the only time in my life I ever got that drunk. I have not done it since, never will again.

She was a lot of fun but I decided a professional level alcoholic drunk chick was not for me long term. It was a wise decision for a 20 something man to use the big head for a change.

I will stick to beer. :cool:

I think the last time I had tequila was my 21st birthday, when all my buddies kept buying me shots. That was a messy night, and I think I swore off ever drinking it straight , in shots, ever again.

I like Vodka, but it gives me big headaches, so I stick to beer.

Nothing is worse to drink than bad tequila. But almost nothing is better than really great tequila.

what rusnak said but as the title of this thread states, do you like tequila?...
do bears **** in the woods? :cool:

Funny

I guess I've never had the good stuff. Never a fan.

Tequilia is great assuming you get a good one.

Partida Reposado is a favorite of mine.

single estate? is that a Mexican version of single malt or non blended wine?

I gotta be honest and say I don't grasp the concept of alcohol without the buzz.

still a buzz just not the mule kick to get you there

The Reposado from Casa Amigos is as smooth and as tasty as I've had, short of some 350.00 bottles ( Casa Dragones)
I gave up Vodka a few years ago, in favor of fine tequila…I prefer something I can sip all night and not wind up on the floor.
Like or not George Clooney, but he knows his Tequila. The Anejo is a bit too oakey for my taste.

^ I could see how you'd feel that way. But the oakey taste is also accompanied with mellowness and smooths out the almost sour alcohol nasal sting. I'll post when I find an empty bottle that I kept several years ago of some tasty tequila.

That's what i like about the Casa Amigos Reposada.
Smooth and stingless and very tasty.
The level of smoothness and oakiness, etc will certainly vary by brand.

I have really *tried* to like tequila over the years.

One particular night in Tonga following shots I decided it would great fun to teach the bar girl how to drive in my rental car. The rest of the night is a blank but I woke up in the back seat of the rental next to a beach miles from where I had started with the engine still running and no one else to be seen. Weird

I could be completely wrong, and the labels all indicate the same level of alcohol ( more or less), but the Blanco's seem to be made for mixing into cocktails, and appear to provide more of a buzz, but still not as potent ( to me) as vodka.

I know if I have 1 good vodka martini on an empty stomach, I'm getting a buzz.
Two and I'm not driving home for a while.
Tequila, on the other hand, two and I'm barely buzzed.
Unless it's a restaurant with a reputation for tequila, I've taken to ordering whatever blanco they have, straight up…cold like a martini., with a zest of lime.

Conmemorativo. Plain and simple.

I've never actually purchased a bottle of Tequila in my life. I've drank enough of it at parties and in bars to be relatively sure I cannot stand the stuff. If I'm unfortunate enough to get a bottle as a gift or something, I'll use it for lighting the barbecue or for cleaning parts in the garage.
