Re: Best Anejo

[Agave]

Cuervo Gold is not an anejo. It's not even 100% agave, as all tequila
designated anejo is. CV is mixto. It's a mix of overdistlled tequila,
cane sugars, and other various plant sugars. The overdistilled mixture
is then watered down and carmel color is added to make it gold. It's
major marketed crap! That's not to say that Cuervo Tradicional, Cuervo
Anejo, and Cuervo Reserva de Familia are not good...all have a place in
my liquor cabinet.

I'm really like Herencia de Plata Anejo (actually anything by them is pretty
darn good).

I don't think I've ever had that one, but I could've. I'm glad you
found something you like. I've mostly been drinking plata from Don
Julio, Don Eduardo, Patron, and Corazon these days...I stopped being a
anejo snob a few years back :)

People have different preferences. I tend to prefer blanco and reposado
but that doesn't mean there aren't good anejos too! Another limiting
factor is availability. Here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada the selection is
quite limited when it comes to tequila and especially 100% agave. On the
plus side there options have improved a lot in the last year or so.

Are you allowed to purchase spirits over the Internet?

I was at Bandito's Margarita factory last night. They claim to have 112
tequilas...I had only 8 :) , but it still looks like they have a good
selection. Food wasn't too bad either for standard mex-tex bar fare.
