Tequila!

Rather than hijack the "Shots!" thread, I have created a new (and some say better) thread in which to discuss Tequila.

Some like it chilled, some like it room temperature.
Some like Cuervo, others like Patron.
Afficianodos claim that tequila has as much character as a fine scotch.

Let's hear what you like and why.


And to get started, I want to quote some information from a very informative site located HERE:
http://www.sallys-place.com/beverages/spirits/tequila.htm

Tequila comes from a limited geographic area and has only 4 grades: white (or silver or plata), joven abocado, which is silver with color and/or flavor added; reposado, aged from two months to one year, in wood tanks (not steel); and anejo, aged at least one year in sealed oak barrels. The grade has nothing to do with quality.

Although there are 300 or so bottles on the market, there are only about 36 distilleries. Each bottle must be marked with the NOM (ID number) of the distillery, so you can figure out who makes what by comparing the numbers.

Jose Cuervo accounts for nearly half of all US tequila sales.
