El Sueño Tequila Silver

Hands down the best tequila for the money. Full of flavour, great in cocktails, lovely 👍

3rd May 2022

I originally bought their gold tequila and loved it so tried this silver and was just as impressed. Full disclosure, I've also reviewed their gold with 5 stars. Despite what the negative reviews say, I am not from the brand, just an avid tequila drinker and el sueno tequila deserves top marks so wanted to do my bit. Yes it's a mixto but that isn't a bad thing in this instance. Just google how they make it and how bad the 100% agave diffuser tequilas are against it. This tequila beats them hands down for me in terms of quality and price. I can't recommend enough!

Have to agree with the negative review below. Thought I'd try this out based on all of the positive reviews...But it's the same as any old Mixto: just about quaffable in a cocktail, but has a harsh edge, lacks that unique agave flavour, body and smoothness you'd generally get with a similarly priced 100% agave Tequila.

Given El Sueno promote Masters of Malt as the place to buy a bottle, it wouldn't surprise me if the dubious reviews/responses below are from the brand themselves(!)

Anyway, glad I tried it out as it's good to be open minded...But the more you read about the heritage and lore of Tequila, the more you realise Mixto is a real cop out and money spinner.

I bought on a recommendation and will be buying again. Loads of flavour and very smooth as the other review says. Going in our bar for sure.

Fantastic for the price. I was pleasantly surprised. This is great for mixing cocktails

Ignore the bloke looking down his nose at this mixto tequila. Yes it's mixto, but if you want to make a pleasant margarita or tequila cocktail this is just the stuff. It has a pleasant grapefruit nose with a lighter vegetal agave note. It's made by the same people who make Vivir, which itself is excellent value. It may not be a sipping tequila for the aficionado, but it is very good and does the job.

This is a great tequila, don’t let that negative review fool you. Having been in the industry for some time there are many cheap 100% agave brands that hide behind that name whilst making their tequila with very questionable methods (diffusers). Quality mixtos that are made with good ingredients and sustainable methods are extremely important for the industry to hit affordable price points and I can assure you, this is a quality mixto. I reached out to the brand and they gave me a detailed account of their production methods and they are doing it right. I bought a bottle (not gifted) and it is a great juice. I wanted to write a review to help support their mission, as it is an important one. Also, final note, their tequilas are 70% agave and 30% piloncillo, a locally grown sustainable sugar. I will be buying again and recommending to my bar customers.

Ignore the clearly fake reviews below; this a Mixto tequila which means that it isn't 100% agave.

Rather, it will contain 51% agave, with the remaining 49% comprised of corn or cane sugars added. It tastes atrocious neat - as you might well expect from a Mixto - and is barely passable in a Margarita or cocktail.

Spend an extra £3-£5 on a 100% agave tequila and avoid this at all costs.

Saw a load of people recommend this on the UK tequila Facebook page so thought I’d give it a go. I can safely say they weren’t wrong, it’s a great agave spirit and I’d thoroughly recommend it. Light, fresh with a solid agave hit and notes of citrus and pepper. It will be a regular on my bar.

Tequila & tonic has been my drink through lockdown and el sueno makes the best one. I’m new to this brand and gave it a try due to the price and I haven’t looked back. Better than everything else I’ve tried at twice the price with my fave tonic.
