Spec Me Some Tequila

[timmeh]

My dad has suggested he would like a bottle of tequila for Christmas. I know absolutely nothing about tequila so I need some suggestions.

- Must be white/blanco
- Must be able to order online/deliver (I don't live in the UK so won't be able to go to a shop and buy it)
- Budget ~£40

Thanks!

Thanks all. Sorry for the silence, I didn't get any notifications of any replies.

It sounds like the choices are:
Don Julio
Patron
Cabrito Blanco
El Rayo Plata

If you're in the states, Patron would be a good shout. I love their anejo stuff but guessing that's not allowed.

I'm in the US and my parents are in the UK which is why I have to mail order it, I should have explained that a bit better.

He's said that he wants a blanco/white so that rules out anejo stuff sadly.

I had wanted an introduction to tequila neat for sipping ... afraid it was a reposado, brand was Cabrito
purchased from Amathus Drinks, fresh pepper / vanillery taste, not burning on the palate ~£30 all-in .
bought on the basis of online reviews .. but it delivered

It looks like they make a blanco tequila so I'll look into that.

In fact, the Don Julio 70 is what you want. It's outstanding. But a bit over budget.

I've been trying to get some for a while, so damn this thread now I've bought some

Ooops sorry
