About this deal

First time trying this Tequila which was recommended by a friend. It’s a nice taste which goes lovely with tonic. If you like Tequila this needs to be tried. We are extremely happy with the service we received. There was a minor issue which was swiftly rectified by the friendly team. We're yet to try the Tequila so can only comment on the exceptional customer service. Olmeca Altos grow their agave at 2000 metres above sea level in rich volcanic soil. Every agave matures for 7 to 8 years until harvested for a fuller flavour experience. This Reposado tequila is double distilled, once in a ‘Coffey still’, and the second time in a ‘pot still’. It is then matured in small 200-litre American oak barrels for six months. On The Nose

Named after the sharp spur attached to the hind leg of the fighting rooster, Espolòn is a tribute to the history of tequila and Mexican culture and folklore. Our team provides a worldwide drinks review service to assist our readers from every country make informed drinks purchasing decisions for events, parties, gifts, or simply enjoying at home. Patrón is perhaps the finest tequilaproducer in Mexico, and the jewel in their crown, in my humble opinion, is their extra añejo tequila, Gran Patrón Piedra Extra Añejo. Tapatio Excelencia Gran Reserva Extra Añejo is matured for 4 years in a combination of American oak and French oak casks to create unparalleled depth and body. On The NoseAre the days of enjoying tequila shots with salt, limeand a group of friends numbered? I don’t think so. However, tequila has a more mature and refined side that deserves your attention. This is a burning spirit that is typically enjoyed as a tequila shot with salt & lime. It’s not a sipper, but great fun. 2. Joven Blanco (translates as “white”) is also known as “silver” tequila. The Blanco variety of tequila is usually completely clear in colour and not aged in barrels. It is generally bottled straight after being distilled. Paired it with tonic for a T&T as they suggested and it was superb! Will be buying this one again and again I think” In my opinion, Añejo (translates to “old/aged”) is where most sipping tequilas reside. Añejo tequila is aged in American or French oak barrels for 1 to 3 years.

The brand’s Añejo tequila is aged for 18 months in old bourbon American oak barrels, where the tequila inherits its golden hue and fuller flavour profile. On The Nose The Jimadors wait a painstaking 8 years before they uproot their Weber Blue Agave for optimal sugar content. This añejo tequila is aged for 3 years in old bourbon oak casks. On The Nose Tequila distiller El Jimadorgrows and harvests its agave in Amatitán, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Their agave is not produced from seeds but from offshoots.

Extra Añejo (translates to “extra old/aged”) is deep brown in colour and arguably the smoothest and flavoursome (and expensive!) tequila available. Extra Añejo tequila must be aged for at least 3 years in barrels or casks that do not exceed 600 litres. Most distillers age their Extra Añejo tequila for nearer to 4 years.

Drinks Geek is run by Andrew & Ingrid, two drinks enthusiasts with 30 years of experience and an all-consuming passion for both fragrance and flavour. Butterscotch on the palette then comes the grassy vegetal notes in the development & a wisp of pine needles on its short finish. No burn. This Don Julio tequila is made from Blue Weber agave that is planted further apart to ensure that it has room to grow, distilled in small batches, and then aged for 2.5 years in oak casks. On The Nose El Jimador Añejo tequila is double distilled and aged for 12 months in American oak barrels for added depth and richness of flavour. On The Nose I bought this gin having seen it recommended on Saturday morning Kitchen. It was recommnded to drink it with Tonic water, ice & Lemon. It was lush as we say in Wales!! Highly recommended!!The taster box is a great way to discover the brilliant combination of tequila and tonic. Gin who?!?

As the oak barrels may have already been used to age other spirits, such as bourbon or whiskey, the tequila inherits many exciting flavours, such as caramel and light woody notes. This is really good tequila - warming flavours of caramel and honey. Now, I like a tequila slammer as much as the next hombre, but I love the fresh thinking of serving it with tonic! It’s a game-changer. I also love how El Rayo teams up with local artists to give a real and authentic flavour of Mexico. Depending on the process the distiller uses, sometimes the tequila is allowed to settle before bottling. The whole point of Blanco tequila is to enjoy the flavour of the agave in its truest form.This tequila is far darker than Reposado and has a smoother and more complex flavour profile of notes such as caramel, vanilla, burnt sugar, woody notes and a more muted agave flavour. 5. Extra Añejo The tequila is then matured in old whiskey casks for 7 months. This passion clearly impacts the flavour of this fine tequila. On The Nose
