Whether you\u2019re in the market for a mixable Margarita<\/a> base or a serious sipper, you don\u2019t have to break the bank to get your hands on some terrific\u00a0<\/b>Tequila<\/b><\/a> and <\/b>mezcal<\/b><\/a>. Here are ten we\u2019re big fans of.<\/b><\/p>\n

We love our agave-based spirits<\/span>\u00a0and we’re delighted to see that both the Tequila<\/a> and mezcal<\/a>\u00a0categories are in rude health. The former is tossing aside its shots-led reputation with every new quality expression while the latter is rapidly helping itself to more of the spotlight as consumers develop a deeper understanding of the Mexican spirit. Now’s as good as time as any to add to your collection or see what the fuss is all about. And both can also be very affordable if you know what you are looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lucky for you, we do. So to save you the trouble of trawling the interweb in search of bargain bottles, we\u2019ve created another handy top ten selection. Whether you\u2019re on the lookout for a dependable cocktail base, looking to broaden your horizons without breaking the bank or simply hoping to get your hands something tasty and agave-based, you\u2019ll find it here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our top picks for bargain\u00a0Tequilas and mezcals:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

VIVIR Tequila A\u00f1ejo<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

One of the most <\/span>exciting new brands on the market<\/span><\/a>, VIVIR has mastered the art of creating a sublime core range. The highlight, however, may well be the A\u00f1ejo. Made with 100% Blue Weber agave harvested at around 12 years of age, it is aged in bourbon casks for at least 18 months, creating a profile that manages the difficult task of adding plenty of new tasty flavour without overpowering the character of the original Tequila.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Roasted agave, home-made salted caramel, BBQ char, dried fruit, fresh herbs, wet stone minerality, baked earth, vanilla fudge, cacao, orange rind and salted butter, with hints of agave underneath.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Ojo de Tigre Joven Mezcal\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

This smooth, sweet and herbaceous unaged (or joven) mezcal from Ojo de Tigre was made using sustainable agave from the Tobala and Espad\u00edn plants. This profile has helped the brand gain numerous fans, including Pernod Ricard, which invested in Ojo de Tigre last year owing to its \u201cauthentic origins, mindful production and inviting taste\u201d. If you haven\u2019t embraced the increasingly popular world of mezcal yet, this would be a great place to start.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Apple blossom and toasted spice, with tangy kiwi, fresh herbs and cooked agave sweetness shrouded by subtle smoke.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

El Sue\u00f1o Tequila Silver<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Affordable, great-tasting and sustainable Tequila will always catch our attention. This silver (or blanco, the unaged style of Tequila) expression from El Sue\u00f1o benefits from five generations’ Tequila producing know-how and is ideal for mixing.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Beautifully smooth with a delicate floral quality, refreshing citrus and a prickle of pepper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Dangerous Don Joven<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

There are few brands that can boast as awesome a name as Dangerous Don and fortunately, the brand has the spirit to match. The mezcal is produced in a traditional fashion and has a smoky, fresh and refined profile that\u2019s enjoyable neat, but really comes alive in twists on traditional serves such as the Old Fashioned<\/a> or Negroni<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Loads of green grass and fresh agave sweetness, with waves of aromatic smoke throughout and a touch of citrus on the finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Cazcabel Reposado\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Reposado Tequilas spend two months to one year in oak, a measured amount of ageing that rounds and softens the spirit into a style that can be more palatable for those more used to matured expressions like rum, brandy or whisky. Reposados are also perfect for Margaritas<\/a> and this one, from the Cazcabel range, makes a particularly good cocktail.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Earthy at first, before light hints of cinnamon, caramel and dried fruit begin to appear. Vegetal agave still sits at the core of this expression, with the other notes supporting it handsomely.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Sin Gusano Espad\u00edn – San Luis del Rio<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Sin Gusano is not a conventional brand. These are agave spirits, not technically mezcals, that founder Jon Darby sources from small producers. These truly extraordinary expressions\u00a0wouldn’t ordinarily leave the village they are produced in, never mind the country! This particular bottling was produced over in San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca and is the perfect introduction into the brand\u2019s diverse and delightful range, which is all about educating and preserving artisan agave spirits. An aim we\u2019re happy to get behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Vegetal, slightly sweet notes of bell pepper, cucumber and white chocolate, shrouded by a layer of smoke.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1800 Cristalino Tequila<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Cristalino is the trendy new style of Tequila and this is one of the finest examples. Cristalino is aged Tequila that has been filtered (often through charcoal) to remove the colour picked from the barrel and some of the harsher tannins without comprising the spirit\u2019s flavours. Think of it as possessing the crisp, fresh notes of a blanco and the rich, sweet notes of an a\u00f1ejo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Buttery agave with a crack of black pepper, caramelised raisins and almonds, a touch of oak warmth, subtle vegetal salinity (think green bell pepper and lemongrass).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Pensador Mezcal<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

A beautiful, family-made mezcal, Pensador is crafted using methods which remain largely unchanged since the 16th Century. It\u2019s also worth noting that it’s made from a combination of two popular strains of agave \u2013 Espad\u00edn and Madre-cuishe. This is one for Mezcal geeks to get really excited about.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Oak-y smoke, roasted apricot, black pepper and a mineral-rich earthiness supported by citrus and grape.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Pancho Datos Plata Tequila<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

A Tequila with a story, the Pancho Datos Plata brand was formed to champion the work of Ricardo Grijalva de Le\u00f3n<\/a>, a beloved historian and poet of the Mexican Revolution (Pancho Datos is a character he created). The spirit itself is traditionally made using Weber Tequilana Azul agave which was matured for eight years and then cooked in stone ovens for 48 hours. The agave syrup is then extracted with a train of roller mills and fermented.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Vegetable and herbal notes complement sweet vanilla and icing notes, as well as hints of toasted fruits.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Storywood Sherry Cask Reposado<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Here we have <\/span>something a little bit different to finish up with. Scottish chef and whisky lover Michael Ballantyne, who founded the <\/span>Storywood brand<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>makes use of <\/span>Speyside Scotch<\/span><\/a> whisky barrels to add new flavours to Mexico\u2019s national spirit. This <\/span>100% blue weber agave reposado Tequila was aged in Oloroso sherry casks for seven months, bringing heaps of bold, spicy and jammy dark fruit notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does it taste like?<\/b><\/p>\n

Cherry jam and dried berries, with roasted vegetal agave and peppery oak.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He\u2019s visited distilleries, wineries, and breweries across the world, reviewed a variety of whiskies, gins, rums, Tequilas, mezcals, brandies, vodkas, wines, beers, and cocktails, and contributed all kinds of words in all sorts of places, including over 1,000 articles to its award-winning online blog, The Whisk(e)y Wash, and many of the handy guides you might have enjoyed. He\u2019s even jammed with Kiefer Sutherland AND dined with Ainsley Harriott.
