I know my buddy Monteman loves Patron, but I have discovered some mid-price-point Tequilas that are outstanding for sipping.

Camarena LINK

1800 LINK

Ultimo El Agave LINK

Actually, I'd forgo 1800 in favor of either of the other two.

Good stuff Mainord.

Price point?

Personally, I like Herradura Reposado way more than Patron...and it costs about half as much.

Tequila brings back some bad, BAD memories.

Bad tequila is really bad. Great tequila is freakin addictive.

Gin is what gives me nightmares. No bad memories of tequila. My wife and I once did shots of salt and lime, and that was good.

Another one I have discovered; Tres Caballos. Awesome!

Herradura is the distillery in jalisco that makes El Jimador too. I have 3 bottles of that in my cabinet that I paid about 15$ US for. Very smooth, very nice tequilia.

John, I got turned on the El Jimador on a trip to Mexico. Agree - very nice for the price.

4 Copas (Tequilera La Quemada) Reposado for me, when I can find it.

I'm not a tequila drinker, but I saw a post on another board from a guy who claims to have run into a distributor for Agave 99 Tequila Anejo, the distribuor is alleged to have mentioned that Costco Tequila is the same product re-branded but for close to half the price.

One of you more adventurous guys that live in a state where Costco sells hard liquor might want to check this out.
