Anyone know anything else in the up to $120 range that is very good?

‘42 is very nice, but as its aged in whiskey barrels it has a distinctly non-tequila finish. I like it and drink it but its gained some popularity due to social media which is a negative to me. Its nice and i do keep in my bar as many like it, but its not worth the premium over Clase Azul Reposado, imo.
You can get this for under $100 at total wines, it is absolutely the best tasting tequila at this price point. I do recommend though that you drink it neat at its really smooth and has a very nice texture almost a bit thick like a liquor which is totally lost if you ice it.
Good luck!
