For this roundup of the best high-ABV offerings, we considered those with an alcohol content of 46 percent or more.
Panel members responded with honest and detailed tasting notes that ended up revealing some interesting trends. Let’s get into it.
High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
I should note that I'm reviewing the newer 100% agave version of the reposado...not the old mixto version. The price was still right at $15 for the bottle, so I thought it was worth a try. We're still in a slow economy, right?
I kept seeing thi very old bottle sitting all alone on the shelf. I kept passing it by, but always eyeballed it because of the old state of the bottle and the $25 price tag. I eventually bought it and was delighted. It was a nice sipper, and worked well in an Old Fashioned. Had a nice essence of the barrel. hints of vanilla, pepper, and was earthy. The mom/pops store still has the tag, but has never gotten the product back in. I do see it in another mom/pop store locally, but they are selling it for $99. Hmmm. Don't think it's worth that much.
