BEST Tequila to buy in Ensenada??

[SakeDad]

I'm interested in buying some GOOD Tequila in Ensenada to bring home. Anyone have the BEST place and price to buy some?

If you haven't tried Cabo Wabo tequila, I'd recommend that. I prefer the Resposado. Excellent sipping tequila. At around $50 a bottle, you probably wouldn't want to make marqaritas with it, however. :D

I'm an Anjeo tequila snob - here are my suggestions - these are all top shelf premium brands that shold be available in a decent shop] and are my favorite sipping tequilas -

 

Gran Centennario Anjeo [$54 US - I'm giving you prices in the US so you can tell if it a good deal] -

 

El Jimador Anjeo [$80 - siome places $55]

 

Herradura Anjeo [$55]

 

Don Julio Anjeo [$54]

 

If you really special or can get a GREAT deal -

 

Don Julio 1942 - [$145 for the 750ml and $75-80 for $350ml]

 

Also - the following Silver tequilas are cheaper and VERy flavorful - they both have that traditional agave taste . . . do NOT waste any of the above or below tequilas in mixed drinks.. . .

 

Don Julio Silver [$40] and finally -

 

Herradura Silver -$40 - my FAVORITE silver tequila]

 

Great tequila is generally better, tastier and more satisfying than the best scotch whiskies I have ever had. But Tequila is an interesting product, some folks, like me, can drink 7, 8 or 9 shots over the course of an evening and get up feeling pleasantly mellow and definitiley drunk, but wake up feeling just fine with NO hangover. Literally ZERO hangover - I'm 5'7" and 175 lbs and put 2 6' guys under the table literally at Carlos and Charlies on Feb 23 - I had 7 and walked back to the ship - these 2 guys had 5 and needed help from their spouses to get back. So - BE CAREFUL you need a "tequila liver" or metabolism to drink more than one or two. Thatbeing said, 2-3 jack daniels will knock me on my ass.
