On the very rare occasions tequila lives in my house it is usually Don Julio Blanco.

The smell of tequila turns my stomach. Don’t know why I never got sick off it, never really drank it either.. I just stick to whiskey and beer.. Whisky-Bourbon has the same effect on me that you say Tequila has on you. It makes me gag. I've tried a bunch that people said was good and it all tasted about the same to me. A really good Tequila makes my mouth water from the smell,just like a good steak. It's all poison.

For a White/Blanco Tequila, Corzo is impossible to beat for the price.
For a sipping Repasado, Heradura with a slice of lime and one ice cube is great on a hot day.

Not tequila per se, but this stuff is surprisingly good: Sotol ReposadoMade from sotol, a similar but different plant than agave.

Prefer the 100% agave and aged at least a year (anejo)
Personally, no issues with after-effects like I will with the less expensive stuff. Very different for me.
Good tequila has a very different feel to me than cheap tequila and for that matter, other booze.

Chamucos Reposado is one of the most drinkable liquors I've ever found.
But there's a demon on the label for a reason.
Okie John A very good reposado. I bought a bottle on the recommendation of a local in Ensenada. This is a very good sipping tequila too, http://www.tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/tonala-tequila-anejo.htmlWe used to have tequila tasting parties during the summer and would rate all the tequilas friends brought over but for some reason I don't remember all the winners.

Other than Evil Twin and myself, are there any other absinthe addicts here on the 'fire?
Not an absinthe addict K_DUB, but I will drink it on occasion simply because we stayed about a block from this place while we were in Paris and I dropped at least a couple hundred eating and slothing there. https://www.yelp.com/biz/l-absinthe-paris

Don Julio is a fave, but I rarely spring for it.
Last few bottles I’ve bought were Sauza 100 Anos. Cheap and pretty good.
Both repasados. I like them over silvers and the anejos.

Once upon a time. And no it doesn't make me or anyone else I know hallucinate, no matter the source of the liquid. And I've hallucinated before enough to know the difference. It does get me drunk, tastes like chit and leaves a nasty feeling in my head the next morning. Pass the vodka, we're getting drunk.
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

I really like Bacanora and Sotol but the Kirkland blanco is such a great deal it's hard to spend two or three times as much, even more for Corzo, to get something minimally better.
