- Paktu, on 12/21/2007, -0/+19The key thing to look for with any tequila is whether it is 100% blue agave. This is why Sauza ($15 for a liter) tastes dramatically better than Cuervo ($25), and why Patron ($40) is considered "ultra premium".
- jquipp, on 12/21/2007, -0/+15Huh ... pocket change. Lets see ... should I buy the Ferrari or the tequila?
- bobcrotch, on 12/21/2007, -1/+14Sorry but Patron silver is a good tequila.
- Skitzzo, on 12/21/2007, -2/+15"We don't have beer. Just tequila.
What's tequila?
Uh, it's like beer." - ColorBlind, on 12/21/2007, -0/+11To many bad memories....
- Jeffler, on 12/21/2007, -6/+16One Tequila...
Two Tequila...
Three Tequila...
Floor. - indyGuy, on 12/21/2007, -0/+10Yeah, they're expensive, but only one is the cost of a HOUSE. Dugg for the good list, though.
- dhVyse, on 12/21/2007, -0/+9Patron anything has proven to be very good to me. Mmmmm Patron...
- archer104, on 12/21/2007, -0/+8Hating popular things is way too popular.
- Takfam, on 12/21/2007, -1/+9I need to know why you think this. You list no reasons why those two brands are superior, yet you claim that Patron, a widely recognized premium tequila, is crap. Quite frankly, you sound like one of those whiners that stops listening to a band because they sold out by signing a record deal. Just because it's popular, doesn't mean it's bad.
For the record, I prefer Cazadores over Patron, but that doesn't mean Patron is crap. - supremesonic, on 12/21/2007, -0/+8Why did the Mexican push his wife off a cliff?
Tequila! - Skitzzo, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7Not enough memories of any kind...
- cawpin, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7The only thing that sucks about Patron is that once you taste it you can't ever drink Cuervo again. Another good one, although a little more pricey, is Casa Noble. It's the best one I've had.
- DJPhoenix, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7Jack Daniels isn't Bourbon. It's Kentucky Straight. They are different kinds of Whiskey.
- todwod, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7But you see, if you do ultra preimum, tequila, there is NO need for a chaser. Try patron silver and you'll get what I mean =D
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7Obviously they are spending more on tequila than on hosting!
- jisrael, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7Sauza is better than Cuervo. Patron is ultra-premium.
reading comprehension ftw... - bobcrotch, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6You're talking about drinking captian morgan's and not getting a hang over?
- partialinfinity, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6The $225k cost is due to the platinum and white gold BOTTLE, not just the tequila.
- objectcode, on 12/21/2007, -3/+8if being a douchebag is your thing then cool
- mt066, on 12/21/2007, -1/+6JAJAJAJAJA
- inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5Patron has been a favorite of mine since I discovered it. Luckily in very large cities there are some places that specialize in the harder to find spirits by the glass, and DBA here in NYC offers three patrons for pretty reasonable prices..
- Ricky8765, on 12/21/2007, -0/+5"a band because they sold out by signing a record deal. Just because it's popular, doesn't mean it's bad."
No but a lot of bands change their sound once they start getting big to appeal to a larger audience, and in turn they lose the uniqueness that once attracted their initial fans because they want to sell more albums. - glasnostic, on 12/21/2007, -2/+6Yeah price range really only means something between 10 and 100 bucks for a liter. once you start paying over 100 bucks for a liter of anything you imbibe you are just buying status symbols.
- glasnostic, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4sauza better then cuervo.
- Superfreak77, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4I live half hour away from the Town of Tequila, so, glad you asked!.
Although I don't drink much, I can tell you that once you get to the upper classes of this brew, it should not cost so much. It didn't get distilled thru the virginal knees of an Aztec emperor's daughter, did it!?
Once at a conf. at my company's HQ in Atlanta, the boss was showing off his knowledge of tequila brands, I think some of them are expensive only once exported, these $40 and $100 premium brands in the US, are $200 pesos here.
Lately things are getting stupid, with fancy bottles, etc. But I do like the names!, there's this one called "Oblivion", -doesn't get any more honest does it?
I haven't seen half of these here locally actually. I think American brewers just buy the base stock and stick a 'Makesico' sounding name for your market.
Hardcore connaisseours go for Mezcal and Raicilla tho. - Takfam, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4Fair enough, but tequila doesn't change it's taste. I just used that as an example of the parent's attitude towards Tequila. It's not like he's saying "Oh, I used to drink Patron back when they were independent."
- DJPhoenix, on 12/21/2007, -0/+4Actually, I got those reversed. Jim Beam is Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Jack Daniels is Tennessee Mash Whiskey. Still, Jack isn't bourbon.
- cawpin, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Agreed, Captain ain't nice in the morning.
- LogicBomB, on 12/21/2007, -1/+4Jim Beam tastes like ass. When it comes to whiskey I'll take Jack Daniels or Scotch. Rye is also acceptible although not my go-to.
- worldsbestgamer, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Patron is good, but I find it over rated. There are comparable ones at the same price range. Tehy just don't seem to have the hype that I suddenly seeing Patron get.
Scotch is another one of varying tastes through the price ranges. But I think moderately high priced Walker Gold takes the cake, and I have had a few that go for twice as much. - troycott, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3This tequila has a very sobering price.
- HotWingBias, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3I feel greatly for the pain you've been through, but there is a huge difference between abuse of substance and enjoying a few drinks with friends.
Substance abuse always goes deeper than, "it was the beer's fault." There is always something else at work when someone kills themselves.
And for the record, I have a pretty unhealthy loathing for people who drive drunk, my best friend was killed by a drunk driver who ran a red light. Drunk guy lived, though. But I still drink with buddies. Cabs and DD's for the win. - cawpin, on 12/21/2007, -3/+6Jim Beam tastes like ass. If you're gonna drink bourbon at least get Jack.
- Neuticals, on 12/21/2007, -7/+10Agreed. 13 bucks will get you just as bent as $225,000 will.
- gn0stik, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Right because getting bent is the whole point, right?
- schnikies79, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3Exactly. I just can't remember.
I do remember the next morning(s) though. They hurt. :( - cgruber, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3sweet alcohol + dehydration = morning from hell
- cawpin, on 12/21/2007, -3/+6I do know the difference, you obviously don't. Patron is good stuff. Casa Noble is better.
- TheSkinsFactory, on 12/21/2007, -0/+3I've had Gran Patrón Platinum and its as good as it sounds.
- MrVictor, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2No, try real tequila with agave. You'll be amazed; it's like a completely different tasting drink. Lightyears better than that ***** tasting Jose cuervo.
It's like never trying beer again because you have only ever had Milwaukee's Beast. - esurient1, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2The Tequila...hands down.
- drastik21, on 12/21/2007, -1/+3$1
- cawpin, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2For tequila, maybe. I personally haven't bought any that expensive. However, my single malt Scotches disagree with your statement.
- davidrools, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2You can't buy a 1 bedroom condo for that price here in the bay.
- hokie47, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2I think it is funny how many people, including myself, have bad memories with tequila. I have had bad times with other kinds of drinks as well, but the distinct smell and taste of tequila will always be etched in my brain.
- MerryMortician, on 12/21/2007, -3/+5she is a cheap whore.
- gn0stik, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2Move
- Azuroth, on 12/21/2007, -0/+2I find your story interesting, care to tell me more over a few beers?
