About this deal

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 Tequila Tequila is a form of mezcal that’s derived from either lowland or highland blue agave plants and produced in specific regions of Mexico, namely Jalisco. Highland agave plants tend to yield a sweeter or fruitier spirit, while lowland agave plants tend to yield earthier flavours.

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. The Little Hedonist has made every effort to ensure that the information in this post was correct at the time of publication. However, I do not assume any liability caused by errors. You 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. Merriment & Co is doing us all a huge favour; let’s face it. It’s bringing the best the world has to offer, right to the most Southern tip of Africa, just for our drinking pleasure. I think Sierra Tequila and the Mixer range are much needed additions to their ever growing portfolio of the world’s finest liquors, and it served as a welcome reminder of my love for this feisty, but festive, drink.

Traditionally, extra aging also leads to a richer, more complex flavour, though it won’t automatically improve the spirit’s overall taste. In other words, any given tequila’s qualitative mileage will vary depending on a host of conditions. Nevertheless, few drinkers out there would ever turn down a premium Añejo or ExtraAñejo. How Do You Taste 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.

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. Sierra Tequila silver from Mexico is a clear and relaxed premium tequila. The full fresh aroma shows off with fruity facets of crisp green apples and fresh pineapples, as well as of course scores of Tequilana Weber Azul Agave.

Herradura Reposado is another premium tequila on our list. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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. The Sierra Tequila silver from Mexico has won several international awards like in 2014 and 2013 Silver medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition. Conclusion of the Sierra Tequila silver from Mexico: 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.

Awards for Sierra Silver

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. 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. 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.
