Old world style. That’s what they tell me. “They” being a sales rep for a distributor. “What that mean?” was my eloquent response. It means that the distiller uses old equipment and outdated techniques. Whatever. What it means to me me is whatever they use, they use it well. This is not watered down at all, in terms of taste, body and also factually. It’s double distilled to exactly 80 proof. So put that in your fact pocket for later use when wowing the tequila nerd ladies of which there are literally dozens. For you, the tequila nerd drinker, it means more pleasant and present oils in and around the mouthfeel. Earthy, bright, warm but not burny. In fact, unlike the other Bernie, this offering is very fresh and hasn’t sold its soul for a cash grab. Worth every penny. Well, at least worth $38 worth of pennies. In 2021. So by the end of next year it will be worth probably $70 worth of pennies. Not because the cost will increase because of the impending agave shortage due to government subsidizing farmers to switch to corn, but because the Fed continues to devaluate our currency by creating magic money at will. And thusly, ends my horrible inflation joke. This tequila has a much better and lasting finish than this review.
