Tequilas That Will Leave You Asking For More

Photo for: Tequilas That Will Leave You Asking For More

14/12/2020 Take your shot with this award-winning and flavorsome selection of tequilas that will leave you asking for more.

Tequila - the sound of that word would paint a picture of you standing amongst friends, ready to take a shot, while you sprinkle a small pinch of salt, hold the lime, breathe out, lick the salt, down the tequila, bite the lime and while the tequila is still shooting its way down, someone would scream, “another shot!” 

So when George Carlin said, and here I quote, “Un tequila, dos tequilas, tres tequilas, piso.” (one tequila, two tequilas, three tequilas, floor), most people could relate to that.

Fun Fact: In Mexico, Tequila is drunk neat: without lime and salt. When it comes to lime and salt with their Tequila, Mexicans go for margaritas. Shots of tequila are drank without the extras.

Here we bring you our selection of Top Seven Tequilas that will leave you asking for more

Batanga Tequila Blanco

The distillery’s Jimadors (Mexican farmers) hand-harvest the agave piñas from the agave fields, which are then cooked in traditional style masonry brick ovens, imparting nuances of cinnamon, clove, and other warming spices from the delicate process of caramelizing sugars. The ‘mosto’ released is then fermented and double distilled, giving Batanga the crisp, bright finish that has won the hearts of people near and far.
