Tequila

Cascahuin makes tequila for some of the biggest boutique brands. Now their own house expression is demanding—and deserving—the spotlight.

Vintage-dated, variable-proof, and from the same master distiller behind budget darling Cimarron. Fuenteseca is where tequila meets fine wine ambition.

Made by the same master distiller behind ultra-premium Fuenteseca, Cimarron delivers $40 flavor at a $20 price. In a liter bottle. The math is absurd.

The grandson of Don Julio himself returns to traditional roots. Three ingredients, no shortcuts, and the fastest-growing upscale tequila in America.

From the third-oldest distillery in the town of Tequila itself, Arette is rapidly replacing Espolon as the budget blanco every enthusiast recommends. And at $20, the math is irresistible.

George Clooney's tequila empire sold for nearly $1 billion. But when you set aside the celebrity, what does the liquid actually deliver? Less than you'd hope.

Five years in three types of oak. Limited to 9,000 bottles per batch. Tears of Llorona is the ultra-premium tequila that actually justifies its price tag.

Created by bartenders, priced for everyone. At roughly $20, Olmeca Altos is the additive-free workhorse that every home bar needs and every cocktail deserves.

Deep well water from 150 meters underground gives Terralta an earthy, mineral complexity unlike anything else in tequila. This is liquid terroir.

Rap lyrics, nightclub menus, and Instagram feeds can't be wrong... can they? We pour the world's most famous premium tequila and ask the uncomfortable questions.

The most Instagram-famous tequila in the world. That hand-painted ceramic decanter is undeniably gorgeous. But what about the liquid inside? We investigate.

This is the distillery that originally made Patron—before they refused to compromise their traditional methods. That refusal created something extraordinary.

Bottled at the legal maximum of 55% ABV, Tapatio 110 is often called 'the GOAT' of blanco tequila. After tasting it, we're not inclined to argue.

Single-estate, vintage-dated, and terroir-driven—Tequila Ocho is the wine lover's tequila, proving that where agave grows matters as much as how it's distilled.

From the same Jalisco distillery as some of tequila's biggest names, Wild Common is the boutique brand that's earned its spot at the grown-ups' table.

Bottled at 108 proof—nearly the legal maximum—G4's high-proof blanco is an unfiltered, undiluted expression of what highland agave can truly deliver.

Carlos Camarena's highland masterpiece rests just long enough in ex-bourbon barrels to achieve that rarest of things: perfect balance between agave and oak.

Fifth-generation craftsmanship meets volcanic tahona stone. Fortaleza Blanco is the tequila the cognoscenti stack their shelves with—and for damn good reason.
