@pkingmartinmartin , @ctbeck11ck11 @Richard-ModernDrinking and I had our quarterly online tasting. We had 4 pours …all amazing. 25yr Proof and Wood Light whiskey, Tears of Llorana tequila, Del Maguey Iberico, and a no name local only mezcal from a oaxacan distillery.
Okay, I’m no tequila expert, but I did have more than enough to have one listed as my all time best. This is it. It’s my all time favorite tequila I’ve ever had. This is a whiskey drinker’s tequila. It’s layers and layers of complexity, almost like a well aged Speysider finished in tequila cask.
Aged 5 years, in a cognac, scotch , and Sherry casks. Heavy in rancio, custard, toffee. Expensive, but so damn good. I’d you’re going to buy one tequila, this is it.
Thanks to @ctbeck11 for the pour!!

Thank you @ctbeck11 - that's mighty kind of you :)
@Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington Iberico is next on my list. It’ll be next month’s buy
@ContemplativeFox Happy to save you a sample if you decide not to spring for the bottle.
Slippery slopes, bought a Del Maguey Chichicapa the other day… this seem like a possible try as well…
@ContemplativeFox you wont regret it. there’s a smaller 375ml available as well.
I've been tempted to buy this one for so long. Maybe it's time to pull the trigger...
Glad you liked it. Enjoyed catching up with you guys!
