Tequila Review: Cazadorez Reposado

Remember last week when I talked about how great Chinaco was? Well, the greatness of Chinaco is equal to the suckiness of Cazadorez. Man, this sucks. I mean, there are worse tequilas out there, but not 100% agave. Not at this price. It has an unpleasant smell and a sharp, harsh flavor with a heavy burn. In its favor, even though the flavor isn’t very good, it is pretty clean. It doesn’t have that thick, nasty carmel flavor of a Cuervo Gold. If you gave me a shot, I wouldn’t spit it in your face. I’m just not rushing out to buy it again. And on top the bad flavor, the bottle sucks too.

Tequila Review: Chinaco Reposado

Damn, this is good! How good? So good it makes me want go back and rewrite all my old reviews. You know all those nice things I said about all those other guys? I take ‘em all back. I didn’t have my new girlfriend, Ms. Chinaco, to compare them to. The reason I like it so much is because it tastes natural. It tastes real. I’ve described some other tequilas as tasting good but “artificially flavored.” This is the opposite of that. The taste has some familiar flavors like vanilla and perfume, but the predominate flavor is agave. (Honestly, I don’t know for sure the flavor is agave. I mean, I’ve never bitten into one of those poky things. It’s totally a guess. That said, I’m entirely sure I’m right.) So, you past tequilas: you got lucky. Next week’s tequila: you better step up. Have I been exaggerating in this review? Yes, but good tequila will do that to me. And I can’t wait until I taste something so much better than this that will get me to take back this review.
