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 [...]
Some Fridays we just like to get stupid, we’re getting stupid today. The Graveyard Cocktail has more ingredients than it needs for the purpose but it’s just not a crazy episode unless we fill the table with spirits. From vodka, gin, tequila, scotch, bourbon, triple sec, beers, you name it this cocktail will exercise the [...]
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 [...]
Tequila arrives at my doorstep like a moth to flame and I just cannot resist reviewing it. Okay, that is sorta what we do here so it only make sense to sit down and review up El Gran Jubileo 100% de Blue Agave Blanco. I received a little product documentation to align my ideas of [...]

We’re finally getting a chance to bust through the final review of Semental Tequila, their añejo style and I can’t wait. It has been sitting on my table breathing for five minutes now and the aroma’s are floating around the room and making me thirsty.
After pouring, the Semental Añejo Tequila is definitely holding a great [...]
Oh yeah, Tequila. We’re making a cocktail with añejo tequila this week. This is a very complex little cocktail with creme de cacao, chambord and some heavy cream. While this cocktail is great for tequila fans, the complexity and maturity of the añejo really makes this a fun drink for a wide audience (especially those that like [...]
