Now, Real Hacienda and Del Dueno Anejo taste quite bitter to me... I guess I am a supertaster... maybe?

The point of this post is that I think I now understand why I identify with some forum members' taste buds and NOT with others. It would be interesting to have some of you do this test. Volunteers... Bueller, Bueller... Anyone?

Better regards,

From the other discussions I guess Older Casa Noble bottles are on the list.
What else?

Are there many stores close by if I walked across or is it better to drive in? If anyone has any experience with this town, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

When you order a JCRF it is served out of a large bottle, into Riedel glassware and served with a very nice Sangrita.
The food is terrific and the place is really amazing. An old x-Hacienda right on the edge of Polanco.
Fantastic!

Anybody know anything about this one? If it was the normal price for SBA over there (which I've had great luck with), I'd have it picked up for me. But it's about 3x the price.

Do you as a tequila drinker ever do it?]]> Fri, 07 May 2010 02:08:57 +0000 http://www.ianchadwick.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6060-tequila-on-the-rocks/ http://www.ianchadwick.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6059-1921/
I've seen Los Altos' comment about the NY importer, but am not sure if that indicates a change in product? I'm also aware of the recent distillery change, but am not sure how that product is. I'd like to watch Lippy's show, but don't have an hour to see if the answers are in there...

Anybody have any thoughts? Was there a change in profile for the blanco/repo prior to the distillery change?

Yesterday, I went to a tequila tasting at my local liquor store. Though I sampled plenty of great stuff (Cazadores, Tres Generaciones, AsomBroso, Corzo, and a $300 ultra-premium aged Herradura, among others), I ended up going with a bottle of Don Julio reposado, having never had it before. I was encouraged by the store's spirits manager to do so for distinctive pepper aspect to Don Julio's flavor profile. I was intrigued and, trusting Don Julio's solid reputation as a quality premium tequila, I bought a bottle on sale for $47. When I got home and poured a glass, I was disappointed to see that the tequila was almost clear, like a blanco. I have never seen a reposado so pale. I held it up to the light repeatedly and thought i could detect a very faint yellow hue, but it was a toss-up. I asked my girlfriend to confirm and she agreed that it was indeed almost clear. I all but concluded that someone screwed up at the distillery and accidentally filled a reposado bottle with some blanco.

Before I return the bottle, I figured I'd ask you for your experience. Is Don Julio repo really THAT pale?]]> Mon, 03 May 2010 15:05:36 +0000 http://www.ianchadwick.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6056-don-julio-reposadolooks-like-a-blanco/ http://www.ianchadwick.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6055-need-updated-nom-list/
