Whether you're after a bottle to make tequila and tonics, an authentic tequila or want to try something new with mezcal or sotol, we've got the bottle for you. Some tequilas are ideal for cocktails: start with a classic margarita or try a colourful tequila sunrise with grenadine and orange juice. The harvested piña are then crushed and baked in a steam-producing brick oven to soften them for shredding. As with most things in life, you get out what you put in, and El Rayo Reposado Tequila is proof of this as all their agave is planted and harvested by hand. Smooth caramel and slightly spicy vanilla up front, with the burnt sweetness of banana and dark chocolate mid-palate.
Production goes above and beyond minimum requirements: the agave is roasted for 10 times the normal time and given twice as long to ferment. Begins with ultra-smooth tones of agave and caramel, with black pepper and dark chocolate mid-palate. The roasted agave really comes through nicely in this tequila, with lighter grassy notes and as others have said a savory kick that's hard to put your finger on.El Rayo translates to 'the lightning', and the name is an homage to the legend that lightning struck a Blue Weber agave plant, cooking it and creating the first Tequila.
Depending on the style of tequila, the notes and aromas can vary from rich, buttery fudge and toffee to sharp citrus and herbaceous flavours. My top pick for sipping tequila is 1800 Tequila Añejo because it’s rich and smooth with oak and caramel but maintains its agave freshness. Tequila Anejo is brought to life with mature Weber blue agave to ensure maximum flavour, then aged for 14 months in French oak barrels. The white tequila goes through a 40-day ageing process, leaving behind a smooth taste and agave flavour that works wonderfully in cocktails like a Paloma or just to sip slowly and soak up its warmth. The party cocktail is made for sunshine sippin’, perfect for Friday night, the weekend and keeping you company on your sunlounger.
Our primary audience is from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Europe, although we have readers from as far away as Mauritius! For example, the story goes that humans discovered the potential of agave when a bolt of lightning ('El Rayo') hit the piña of one of the plants, singeing the core and producing a milky, fermented substance. Smooth and herbaceous, tonic helps bring out the more complex and oily citrus notes of this impressive, peppery tequila.
was the year this premium tequila was first created, and for more than 200 years, the original recipe has not been deviated from. The brand’s Añejo tequila is aged for 18 months in old bourbon American oak barrels, where the tequila inherits its golden hue and fuller flavour profile.SIERRA Milenario Extra Anejo Tequilais double-distilled and aged in French oak barrels for nearly four years to ensure the utmost richness, depth and complexity. Once relegated to raucous parties and quick shots washed down with salt and lime, tequila has gracefully evolved into a sophisticated spirit due to the evolution of several sipping tequila varieties. This sweet agave juice is diluted with water, and yeast is added to begin the fermentation process that lasts approximately 4 days). QuiQuiRiQui (translating to ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’) is a mezcal that ranges in flavour as you sip it, from smoky to sugary sweet and peppery at the end. This 50ml bottle packs a real punch, it may be smaller than most but the ABV is 40 per cent; pretty much rocket fuel.
