You didn't mention one that is very very special, kind of new so you might not have had it when you wrote the post, but the Partida tequilas (http://www.partidatequila.com/) are brilliant and I truly love the Añejo. Cheers! Nice list, I’m a fan of most of them (I actually am co-captain of a dart team called “The Don Julios” and we’ve EARNED our name)…

But it is their value-oriented brand, and is not the quality of the products bearing the Herradura name. Indeed, in the U.S. it is usually not a 100% agave product, and so fails Michael's First Rule of Tequila, namely, if it doesn't say 100% agave on the label, it's -shit- not worth drinking. That's not just about flavor, but also about the headache and hangover. I lost 10 years of tequila drinking to four shots of a bad tequila, shortly after college graduation. Life is too short, drink only 100% agave tequila! @Dave: As you note, El Jimador is indeed a second label from Herradura.

I love a good margarita just like the next person. But after reading this page(recommendations) and your page on "Everything you need to know about ordering tequila" I'm abit confused. I confess that I'm the proverbial "newbie" (even though I can't stand the word...so why'd ya use it...I dunno!! Beginning to sound like an Abbott & Costello routine..."no, Lou, Who's on first!!!" You say you can't go wrong with just about anything Herradura, yet I bought that el Jimador, and it gave me a splitting, behind the neck headache like you wouldn't believe!! Is it because I'm some Yankee gringo who can't handle a good tequila--I hope you give me a better line than I just served myself...LOL. But seriously, what's with the el Jimador, it was brutal!!
