I was in Specs and the old man cruising the aisles said it's 40 something percent vodka and only 50% tequila. Recommended 1800, Hornitos and some other stuff. Is this true?

1800 is made by Cuervo

ETA: I think he was trying to say that it wasn't 100% agave.

“Mixto” is the term given to a tequila in which only 51% of the alcohol comes from agave (specifically Blue Weber) and the rest from sugarcane juice. The lower-end Cuervo is mixto, and says “Made with Agave” on the label. Pepper-hot, but not the best quality tequila, but if you can spend $10 or so extra, you’ll get into 100% agave territory.

I bet you they share the same ingredient which is Alcohol but you can correct me if I'm wrong.

The essence of the OT right here. 99% BS and hilarious answers and 1% shite I didn’t know and am amazed someone does know.

Jose Cuervo is not 100% blue agave, which is reason enough not to buy it. It's a "mixto"...cheap shite.

He copied and pasted from an article he found.

But yes, made with agave means bullshite tequila. Their gold line uses food coloring to mimic barrel aging.

If you want cheap 100% agave, go with Agavales.

The frick? Are you talking green agave? Blue agave is what good tequila is made from.

I’m talking “made with agave” vs “100% agave.”

Tequila, vodka, gin, scotch, etc on the shelf at your local liquor store are all roughly 60% water.

Yeah but that 40% alcohol works harder than the water.

My rule of thumb is buy the cheapest that says "100% de agave".
