I would also agree with you about that. I am so proud of this video and how it came out. Been working on it for over 2 months now

Cazcanes, Fortaleza, Ocho, and G4 are my favorites right now. So many good tequilas, so little time. 🥂 ❤‍🔥

I see Rob! You guys are my go too for quality tequila content

Great story Lui!! This channel REALLY helps appreciate good, responsibly made tequila 👌🏼👌🏼 excelente trabalho meu amigo

It was my understanding that the traditional way to cook it was the brick oven and that the autoclave was a way to cut corners a bit. Did I misunderstand this? I would not think Cazcanes is cutting corners, so it caught me off guard.

Autoclaves are fine, not as “traditional,” but they’re basically just bigger steam ovens. Diffusers are what you should look out for. Diffuser-cooked agave is terrible.

Fantastic!! Really enjoy your channel!!👍👍

Thanks friend! Happy you enjoyed it! I worked very hard on it.

Such a cool video, I'm a newbie, but I'm addicted, great tequila is so good.

I was able to get the cazcanes single barrel anejo 50% ABV as well as the original joven 50% and mixed XA 50%. Amazing stuff. Still have a couple bottles thankfully.

Very interesting Video. Thank you for that. Im so happy that this Tequila will come in july to my Tequila Shop in germany for First time. I‘m very tense about it

Are you a teepee or a wigwam?

Ayy can you recommend a good tequila that isn’t terribly expensive? Cazcanes is great but it’s also over 100 dollars

@o.o-vt1rc

I'm liking Santo Fino for under half that, $39.99 for the Blanco and just under $50 for either the Reposado or "Mezquila".

You can typically find the No.7 Blanco for about $73-75. If you prefer more reasonable price (Under $50) then try these brands: Tequila Ocho, El Tesoro, El Tequileno, G4, Terralta, Volans, Cascahuin, Siete Leguas, Suerte, Lalo, Tapatio or Insolito. All have blancos and sum repos that are either sub or right at $50 (all depends on your location), all are confirmed additive free and all are very delicious. Salud!🥃

G4 blanco is 33 and amazing

Cazcanes is amazing tequila! Cheers

Have a family member that’s a master distiller Arandas. Looking forward to going back to get some juice directly from there again.

I got some Cazcanes Blanco 9 & 10 and the Anejo that i still havnt tried yet. Im opening the Blanco 10 this weekend. Any drink recommendations with the 10 ??

Very nice video 🙏🙏

Lui, you didn't go to Cantaritos el Guero!!! Place looks like so much fun. I hope to someday visit the area of Jalisco and visit some distilleries. And definitely check out Cantaritos el Guero!!

This is a REALLY good video. I cultivate agave in the Los Altos region (Atotonilco el Alto). I have almost 100k plants in the ground and I never knew about the cogollo. I would hope next time you come to Jalisco, you visit Atotonilco el Alto, Arandas and Tepatitlan but mainly the first two. Atotonilco and Arandas are the two main tequila producing cities in the Los Altos region. Arandas and Tepa are known for their stunningly beautiful women. You can come to my ranch, which is about 75 acres. There is a distillery right next to it. It's small and really no frills but there are quite a few other distilleries in the area as well, like in nearby San Francisco de Asis, affectionately known to the locals as "San Pancho." Atotonilco is where Patron, Don Julio and Siete Leguas all have their distilleries (I won't mention the 4th big brand there because it's garbage). I can give you tips and pointers on where to stay & what restaurants are good etc. We also have a few waterfalls, at least 3 I think, right there in Atotonilco. There is a really cool "restaurante campestre" called "La Violeta" I know you and your friends would REALLY enjoy. Listening to some of these guys that work at the distillery speak English made me think perhaps it's time I got my resume translated to Spanish because I really would rather live down there than in expensive-ass Colorado (cold, too). I think I'm going to do that before my next trip.

My family makes Mezcal in Oaxaca, and the process is similar.

Dude I wanna go live with Don Umberto “will work for a room n board” hahaha

Do you know of a distillery to visit in the cancun or riviera maya area in Mexico?

Just picked up Tequileno. It went down smooth and was 30 bucks for a reposado

"TEQUILA! Tequila is my lady!"

From what I've read, quality Tequila is cooked in the brick oven, and average or cheap tequila is cooked in the autoclave. Brick oven takes days, where autoclave can be as little as 12 hours.

@Lui_Fern

In autoclave is just a cooking method. Think of it like a pressure cooker. If you're trying to you know roast a pork loin you could just throw it in the oven and do it over the course of several hours or you can put it into a pressure cooker. Now there are some brands that will just throw the Agave into the autoclave turn the pressure up as much as they possibly can to get that done as quickly as possible. But some of the brands that I've seen that have autoclaves they make incredible products but they just use low pressure. Autoclaves. And cook it for a longer period of time. The use of pressure doesn't automatically make something worse or better. But it is a tool that can be used to speed up the process significantly and in theory can be a negative impact, but there is Nuance there

Legitimate question here. If mixtos, made with 49% sugar cane are considered inferior, does that make rum an inferior, headache-inducing spirit based on its key ingredient, sugar cane?

Nah it being rum has nothing to do with it, but the quality of that rum matters. A great rum is a great rum, a bad rum is a bad rum.

​@Lui_Fern though rum DOES give me massive headaches, probably because it's distilled sugar cane. A quality bourbon or tequila doesn't hurt at all, unless I drank too much and got drunk and neglected to rehydrate or replace electrolytes before going to sleep.

Yes. Too much tequila on the market today tastes like watered down birthday cake flavored vodka that's gone off.

According to the CRT, who control the appellation of origin and construct the rules for tequila, brands like Cuervo Especial are real tequila. Where this product is “tequila 100% agave.” Real “tequila,” is traditionally a mixto (though the crt hates that word).

@@o.o-vt1rc I agree. I think additive free, 100% agave tequila is the best, purest expression of the blue agave, but that’s what should be said, not “this is real tequila.” From the 1930s until the 2000s, most tequilas were mixtos.

Autoclave? Seems kind of pricey for a mixing only tequila.
