    “My cuñadas and I did the tats te taste for Avión 44. I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback about this tequila. We tasted it. Between all the three of us we thought it was a great tequila and on the sweeter & smoother side of the tequila spectrum. It’s a small pepper sting upfront and goes down super smooth. We tasted honey, cinnamon, and vanilla with some bites of citrus. The scent has a typical smoke, wood and oak. We gave it an 84. I paid $170 for it. I believe where I got it was over priced. Enjoy. ”

    “Today my best friend Les and I did a taste test on the Dos Artes Extra Añejo Tequila. Amazing decanter, it’s a gorgeous design. However, it was peppery on the pallet and the finish. It’s tequila and if you’re a shooter and want that burn, Dos Artes is a good option. I would not consider it a sipping tequila, it’s to peppery for that. The aroma is very sweet and tempting. When we tasted the tequila you can feel the bite. Overall it’s ok. It cost $150 and in my humble opinion it’s over priced. But it’s a nice decanter. ”

    “We rated El Tesoro Blanco Tequila today. About 10 of my compadres and comadres. It’s great for sipping. Why? The pepper hit is about 2-3 seconds when you shot it. But when you sip it’s soft and smooth with a little bite on the pallet then it goes down the throat smoothly. When you shoot it, you will feel the pepper burn on the delay. We tasted butter, sugar cane, and very faint citrus tones. We could smell heavy butter, and some citrus. Over all for the value and price it’s a good tequila. The price is about $35-$50. Enjoy my friends! ”

    “G4 has been on my radar for a long time. I bought it with doubts. Today, I did a taste test. It was amazing. It’s great for sipping or shooting. 2 n 1! My wife and I did the taste test. She’s very picky! The sip was silky and smooth. We tasted flowers (her), agave, cinnamon, and vanilla. The aroma is butter, flowers, and some pepper. Easy on the throat for shooting and sipping. SUPER silky on the palate. Priced at $40-$50 it’s an amazing bargain! ”

    “In my humble opinion: On the aroma of this premium tequila we could smell chocolate, oak and maple wood scents. The flavor was peppery if you hold it on your palette, but it flows smooth vanilla down the throat once you release it. No need for a chaser. We compared the finish to Don Julio Blanco for worse case scenario on a shot and the finish was amazingly smooth. We would definitely this drink again. I paid $160 for this bottle. It was over priced, but I wanted it. It rated 76 on app, I give it a 90 +. Cheers my friends! ”

    “In my humble opinion: 7 Leguas blanco has a sweet refreshing aroma. It doesn’t have a strong alcohol scent. It has a smooth taste to the palate. It’s not a strong bitter taste. It’s good for shooting. The end and finish is a bit peppery and doesn’t go down like water. But if you want a mediocre tequila here is one for you. Priced around $40-$50. I gave it a 70 on the rating scale. ”

    “In my humble opinion: the aroma is of passion fruits. The taste is a mild pepper start with a smooth finish. The hangover is zilch if you only use this to mix and to shoot. This is a great choice for someone who is on a budget but wants a high quality tequila to compare to Don Julio 1942. The price is around $45 - $70. A must for your daily consumption. ”

    “In my very novice opinion: the aroma is very strong as if it was hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol. The taste is somewhat strong. The peppery (burn) at the end is mild. This is great to mix drinks. The quality is great because you don’t wake up with a massive headache the day after from mixing drinks solely with this tequila or shooting shots. The price is ok. $5 less or $5 more of $40 is competitive. ”

    “On the aroma of this premium tequila we smelled chocolate, oak / wood, and maple. The flavor was peppery if you hold in your palette, but smooth once you release its and no need of a chaser. We compared the finish to Don Julio Blanco for worse case scenario on a shot and the finish was amazingly smooth. We would drink again. We would definitely drink this again. I paid $160 for this bottle. It was over priced. But I wanted to have it. Cheers my friend by Steven & Gio! ”
