No spirit is off limits for me. I feel fortunate for that since I know more than a handful of people who have had to swear off an entire category of liquor after a wild night. Though I am whisky inclined, tequilas and mezcals have piqued my interest as of late. Today I poured a taste of 1800 Silver Tequila. There's lime and salt on the nose. It almost feels like a margarita by itself! The citrus aroma becomes juicier over time with wisps of smoke. Had neat, I taste a subtle, even smoke flavour with a slight sweetness and afterbite that manifests in the tongue. This has a moderate length, dry finish with faint mineral bursts. To me, this doesn't feel like a harsh bar rail tequila to squint your eyes and throw back. It's fairly monosyllabic but its smooth, straightforward nature and accessible price point would make it a good choice in a Paloma or other tequila-centric cocktails. 7/10
