This is a great "next step up" tequila. It's certainly lightyears ahead of Jose Cuevero, and it's a bonus that it's barrel aged for just a few months to impart some of those woody, oaky qualities into a blanco tequila. Not a great tequila to drink neat, but certainly makes a great margarita! I keep this one on hand for that purpose, and save the Don Julio for sipping.
