I don't know how this has an 80 rating. Maybe 80/80? Smooth but still has a little burn to keep you from guzzling a whole bottle. This is perfect and not horribly overpriced. At my store you can get two 375 ml bottles for $30 as opposed to one 750ml for $47. I'm no tequila expert but in my intermediate opinion it's one of the better tequilas at that price range.
