About this deal

I recently attended the Merriment & Co product range launch ( you can read my blog on the launch here) where they introduced some exciting new lines of fine liquor hitting the Cape Town scene just in time for summer. When Merriment & Co chose a tequila brand to market and distribute in South Africa, they were not prepared to settle for anything but the very best.

Sierra Tequila is bottled in Mexico and Europe. This way you can buy Sierra Tequila in more than 90 countries worldwide with a much lower carbon footprint. The Sierra Silver Tequila is just as smooth, but more elegantly understated than the golden Reposado. It’s milder; more delicate, but perfectly balanced when mixed with the slight acidity of the lime juice. Where Reposado is moody and alluring, Silver Tequila is fresh, light and reminds you of ripe pineapples with a cheeky chilli afterthought. It’s very obvious why it’s Europe’s favourite. Hot, but breezy: The whole Tequila production process of Sierra takes place at our Hacienda in the middle of Guadalajara, in Jalisco, Mexico. Using a coa, the jimadoers cut the agave by hand to reveal the heart or piña.Thepiñais gently cooked and then undergoes a step-by-step extraction process with special yeast added to ferment and then twice distilled in copper vessels before maturing. For an inexpensive tequila that offers great taste, you can’t go past Jose Cuervo Especial Reposado. The cost of the drink makes it great for parties and event hosting, but don’t think this means you can’t also enjoy a bottle of this fine tequila to yourself. Tasty enough to sip, you’ll find yourself halfway through the bottle in no time. And if you’re into mixing, Jose Cuervo has a line of easy-made margarita’s that’ll hit the spot.

Mineral notes on the nose with a light hints of fruity agave. Heavy on the tongue with an almost metallic minerality with sweeter agave only coming in on the very end. Of the ranges introduced on the launch night, I was most excited about Sierra Tequila. Having steered far away from the student experience for many years, although always harbouring a secret taste for the Mexican tipple, I was ready to try again; this time approaching it with a bit more maturity.

Herradura is doing all the right things to make sure that their tequila hits the spot for consumers around the world. Aged in American oak barrels for eleven months, the tequila takes on this sweet oak and cinnamon flavour, as well as the natural vanilla notes found in agave. For a twist, you can opt for the Double Barrel Reposado, which is aged for an additional eleven months in a charred barrel for extra flavour.

Fast and fresh: After harvesting the agave piñas, we bring them to the distillery in one piece – as fastYou may have a hard time getting your hands on a bottle of el Jimador Reposado, thanks to its newfound success and popularity. Winning silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020, everybody is itching to have a taste. If you do manage to get your lips around a glass of the hot stuff, you’ll discover the rich, 100 per cent agave flavours, as well as a toasty after taste from the barrel it was aged in. If you’re drinking the good stuff, don’t waste your time with mixers. Instead, sip the tequila as you would any quality spirit. That is, pour it into a proper glass (like a brandy snifter), swirl it in the glass, smell it, and taste it in small doses, exploring the flavour in your mouth. You’re welcome to pair it with a lime wedge or some cubes of ice. As for us – we sip the best tequilas neat.

It was everything I wished for and more. The bottles are sleek, but bold; exclusive but fun. Sierra produces smooth sipping tequilas, without losing its cheeky party spirit and famous agave bite. I couldn’t possibly choose a favourite between Sierra Tequila Silver, Europe’s most popular choice or the award winning Sierra Reposado Gold. It was like greeting an old friend you’ve not seen for a long time; you recognise the face and features, but underneath the familiarity lies a different, more refined identity that speaks of a new sense of purpose; and a new life.I garnished generously with citrus and mint, but that was more for the striking colour contrasts, rather than for flavour. I wanted to add as little as possible that could interfere with the natural flavours of the tequila. The kind distillers at Espolòn utilise a modern twist on their Espolòn Blanco tequila. Instead of using traditional ovens, Espolòn uses modern autoclaves. This introduction of technology allows Espolòn to better control the production of their tequila, resulting in a finer tasting spirit, for a lower cost might we add. After being rested in charred American oak barrels, the drink takes on a smoked flavour, unique to this brand.

Now that you know what you’re doing, ’tis time to get sipping. Take your newfound knowledge along with you as we dive into the best drops on the planet. Here is a list of the best tequila brands and bottles to test out… 1. Teremana TequilaPrepare a chilled highball glass by coating the rim with lime and chilli salt (rub the rim with a slice of lime to moisten and dip / pour the salt to coat) The Destilería Sierra, located on a historical Hacienda in Guadalajara, the capital of Tequila, is home of the award winning Sierra Tequila. The art and passion of production has been passed down three generations to the current Master Distiller who guarantees the exceptional taste of Sierra Tequila. I never follow anything by the book. I live to improvise. I decided on a novel handled beer-mug, instead of the traditional highball glass. I also rimmed my glass with Himalayan pink salt, because I do think the salt enhances a lot of the natural flavours of the tequila. I also used the best quality, freshly squeezed orange juice I could find. I added a touch of grenadine at the end. Due to the blend of agave and Mexican sugar cane, Tequila provides a bold and well-balanced flavour
