It’s a bit annoying to see something be so deliberately hipster in its attempts to brand and be sought after. Everything here from the bottle type, the text, the labelling is just screaming – don’t get your shitty Cuervo go for me. Not to say you can’t get away with doing that you just have to actually be a better option. Which this is not.
Milagro has long been a darling of the lounge as something never bought for the lounge. (We fill our decanter’s with 1800). However when that summer party happens, we get a bottle of Milagro because we want something better, and unlike many folks we know the truth regarding Patron. That being said we’ve still never formally reviewed the Reposado, so here we are many years later – finally rectifying that situation.
Week 2 of the Sangre’s tequila set of reviews, this time with a fiery reposado. This is one is one of my favorites in terms of design with the flames and red. I also like that the heat you get on the backburner makes this one of the better mixers from the Sangre line.
Here we have a tequila with a deer on it. That makes no more sense to me than it does to you friend. (Okay I mean to be fair the white tailed deer does actually live all across America from Canada to Mexico, but in a choice of those 2 countries you would take Canada every time) Any way not to spoil the review, but this is actually a tequila that we like in case you were worried considering how we’ve been bashing them lately.
So we come to part 2 of my UK travels, and because I know exactly when reviews go up – I anticipated this posting on July 4th. And while as I write this I may not be in the USA – I am still very much an American. (I have a drawer in my fridge for cheese). Now if you feel that a Mexican tequila isn’t considered American at all – well hello Trump supporter! Also piss off, because I like having Mexicans become part of my country.
Turns out this is actually a single barrel version chosen for a local shop, but we got it for the upcoming St Patrick’s Day (in true Honest Booze Reviews tradition). It’s actually not a bad reposado overall, but for the typical mixers we have it doesn’t do very well here, which is sad for us.
Well they can’t all be winners. Darn once again in an effort to express honest opinions we’ve given the review away. Yes folks this is a tequila that I thankfully picked up a small bottle for while it was cheap in New Hampshire, because quite frankly if I paid a full price for this I would be nothing short of enraged.
Well it’s the just about the 5th of May and without actually trying we are actually reviewing a tequila on the fabled day. (We normally do an Irish Whiskey because we get the Irish and Mexicans confused) However though we aren’t doing some good tequila, instead it’s some fairly standard budget tequila (my budget was strapped for tequila with that Anejo)
Tequila lovers rejoice because Honest Booze Reviews is committed to trying and not just review scotches (he says knowing last weeks post). Anyway this week we come to something I bought just because of the art on the bottle intrigued me – a clear motif for Mexico’s Day of the Dead.
I’m not gonna lie – I wish the raised lettering on this wasn’t there so I could upcycle this as a decanter (it also has a screw cap, so bleh). Anyway figured I’d throw in another tequila since I picked one up for cheap(er) at New Hampshire. I was going for something not too expensive, but that could be an actual tequila compared to some of the things we tried recently a while back.
