Time to make five reposado tequila cocktails, we’re creating the La Bomba to taste test the brands. We’ll make the La Bomba Tequila with five brands of Reposado: Tres Generaciones, Don Julio, El Gran Jubileo, Partida and 100-proof Dulce Vida.
We’re tasting reposado tequila, five brands including: Tres Generaciones, Don Julio, El Gran Jubileo, Partida and the 100-Proof Dulce Vida. We tried to get a cross-section of pricing and style but each tequila ranged from USD $40 to USD $50 so we didn’t get as big of a price bracket as we wanted.
Two of my favorite spirits mixed together: tequila and bourbon. This cocktail brings the carbonated orange flavors to that of a rich agave (using the Corzo silver) and a mild bourbon finish. If you’re a fan of the tequila flavors and love a nice bourbon, this fairly potent cocktail (considering it’s half orange soda) is definitely something try.
You can never have too much silver tequila and today I’m looking at Paquí Silvera Tequila, a silver tequila that’s 100% de Agave with a name taken from the Aztec’s meaning, “to be happy.” Will you be happy with the Paquí Silvera? Let us find out!

You’ll find only 100% de Agave on the table and each brand brings its own unique charm and character for good or bad. We’ve got Patrón Silver, Sauza Hornito’s Plata, Republic Tequila Blanco, Cabo Wabo Silver and El Gran Jubileo Blanco.
We received the Reposado last in the series of the El Gran Jubileo Tequila product line so we’re really looking back to the younger variety of Blanco as well as its older brethren of Añejo as a point of reference. The Reposado definitely lands right in the middle in terms of color, giving off a [...]
A tequila arrived today, called Azuñia Tequila aged in a nice Añejo style and I simply couldn’t resist seeing what it was all about. I poured the Azuñia into my glass and did a nice inspection of the color, a very rich mature gold coloring that really looks fancy and clean. Not as dark as [...]
Añejo Tequila is always a fun spirit to explore because of its richness and dynamic complexity. Today, I’m tasting El Gran Jubileo Tequila Añejo Tequila (imported by Central Texas Spirits) to see how it stands up against my palate. I poured the añejo tequila into a glass and held it up to the light, it [...]
