This versatile tequila is a great option for almost any occasion.
T1 is produced by Master Distiller Germán González, great grandson of General Manuel González, former President of México between 1880 – 1884. It’s a brand known for its numerous connections: Germán González’s father also launched the first ultra-premium tequila imported into the United States: Chinaco.
The best tequila for shots is Milagro Silver Tequila. Despite its low price point, it’s an enjoyable tequila that goes down easily and acts as a perfect staple in the liquor cabinet. It’s smooth and strong, with refreshing citrus notes and a hint of spicy black pepper.
This "ultra-aged" exotic fruit-flavored añejo that marries cinnamon, herbs, and spices is aged for 36 months. Small oak barrels house and develop the drink, which is made from eight-year-old organic agave. Golden amber to the eye, this "cognac-like" tequila is best relished slowly.
Twenty-four months in an American Oak casket lends this añejo its deep amber color. It has a clear, bright taste with a fruity, nutty finish. And it comes from the highlands of Jalisco, one of the best places in the world for growing agave. here
Manana Añejo will warm you up on a cold day. It hits your tongue fruity and oak, but the lingering finish is dry, full bodied, and warm. This bottle was also a Double Gold winner at the 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. more
Sweetened with faint hints of vanilla and caramel, this Trago Reposado, or “rested” tequila is aged in new American Oak barrels for a smooth finish. You may have to roam further to regional stores to find a bottle of this tequila, but it will be worth it for preparing top-notch Margaritas.
If you like Riazul's reposado, you'll probably like its better-known blanco, the Premium Silver. Extracted by a shredder and twice distilled in stainless steel, the blanco has an earthy aroma. Its minty agave leaves your mouth warm with a mild chocolate aftertaste. Riazul calls it "the choice of tequila purists who seek the unmasked agave character." [links]
With Casamigos Reposado Tequila you can get some of the best around, and aged for 7 months. It is made from hand-chosen Blue Weber agaves, which are grown in the red clay soil and chiller climate of Mexico’s Jalisco Highlands. more
Another bottle that won't break the bank, el Jimador is made with hand-harvested blue agave. You can easily sip this silver tequila, but el Jimador has a bunch of tequila-based cocktails they suggest you try out. Hint: We have some great tequila-based recipes, too.
Reposado tequilas are rested in oak barrels, which gives each kind a different taste depending on the type of barrel. This Milagro reposado rests in American and French oak barrels which help it go down smooth with a clean taste yet dry finish. here
LALO tequila is named after Eduardo "Lalo" González, who was given the nickname by his grandfather, Don Julio González. Yup, that Don Julio. This pure, blanco tequila is made by Eduardo and his friend Davíd and has notes of cooked agave, sweet potato, cinnamon, and a hint of dulce de leche. more
You've probably heard of Casamigos tequila, given the fact it's the brainchild of George Clooney and Rande Gerber. If you want a bottle that will make you seem super classy and refined without trying too hard, this is it. And the taste is just like the people who created it—smooth.
It's required that añejo tequila be aged for just one year, but Avión makes sure its añejo stays in the barrels for two years. Doubling that age requirement is what gives this tequila and amber color and aromas of burnt agaves, peaches, and persimmons. [links]
The most luxurious of the bunch, Don Julio 1942 sports a steep price tag, making it a great option for special occasions. It's aged for a minimum of two-and-a-half years in American white-oak barrels and is the best choice for the tequila connoisseurs in your life. Oh yeah, and the Kardashians love it. more

These guys create another one of the ultimate sipping tequilas and arguably one of the ‘purest’ looking bottles I’ve seen too. I love to use these as water bottles once I’ve finished the nectar inside. Small batch, 100% blue agave which has been around for 7-9 years ripened to perfection in the rich lands of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. The water is pretty neat too, beneath the earth’s surface in hundreds of 70-meter natural aquifers straight from the Volcano of Tequila! Perhaps that what gives it such a pure and distinct taste…

I think I need to sit down for a second. Woah, this is one of the purest tequilas I’ve ever tasted, and it still blows my mind as to how they are able to make it this way. It’s literally like drinking fresh from the agave plant. Undeniably smooth with so much rich plant-nectar flavour, it’s difficult to just keep to one sipping glass of this stuff. On the outside, it can look a little bit gimmicky with its cow-hide bottle cover and skull closure, but don’t let that put you off. The liquid inside is something of true magic and for that reason this tequila is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Originally intended to be a product imported into Austria, word has since spread and Padré Azul is finding itself into more and more markets within Europe. Still fairly undiscovered and underrated I’d say. [links]
