I know from buying a lot of whiskey

Adictivo Extra Anejo, about $130 at Total Wine.

Easily the best sipping tequila that I've ever had. It's an easy transition for whiskey drinkers because it's got some caramel & chocolate notes. It is a unique bottle design also

Both of these are trash tequilas that have been marketed brilliantly. DO NOT BUY


Great tequilas are:
Fortaleza (if you can find)
Ocho
G4
El Tesoro
Cazcanes


Grab any of these instead and drink actual quality stuff without additives

Thank you all for the recommendations. I went with :

Azul Reposado


Martin Wine Cellars had it on allocation and I snagged the bottle. May go get her a bottle of Don Julio too. Shes got three or four people in the office.
Appreciate the help.



It's as if you didn't really want advice.

I’ve bought Clase Azul online from sipwhiskey with good turnaround and delivery time from placing the order. Very tasty and smooth Tequila.

Because it’s artificially infused with additives that sweeten it and make it more palatable for the masses. I’ve heard someone say these are more like tequila liqueurs, which is a good description.

And I’m not hating on people who like these. Casamigos was my introduction to tequila. Then once you try other brands and find a true tequila, you realize that Casamigos, Class Azul, and Don Julio 1942 are definitely a different profile
