Now I’m relatively new to tequila, my Grandfather used to tell me you can’t drink it neat why bother. After a memorable experience with Jose, I decided tequila was best enjoyed mixed, kinda like gin LOL. Then a friend of mine said “you know all whiskey isn’t equal, it’s the same with tequila. If you want to sip your tequila you need to up your game a little. You don’t have to break the bank to find a reasonably priced mid shelf sipping tequila.”
Challenge accepted.
He suggested this... and it’s good - really good. The first thing that strikes you is the color, a clear yellowish golden sparkle in your glass. The nose is a mild chocolatey agave with unripened green fruit. I get a mildly spicy cucumber or pepper with chocolate fudge accentuating some cinnamon smoke in the body, a big cube opens this up nicely. The finish is relatively dry and a bit smoky. Although they use Jack Daniel’s barrels during the aging process it is not overbearing, adds really nice character.
I’m a sipper and I’ll be sipping this for a while. Who says you can’t teach an Old Dude new tricks.

Like you, I'm not well versed in tequila, but I've tried the Partida Anejo, and it was damn good stuff. Now, I'll have to give this one a shot
I don’t have much experience with tequila as well, but the best sipping one I’ve had is Clas Azul. About $80, I think. The Casa Amigos resposado are pretty good too, at $40
