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!

When y'all finish your clase azul bottles, I'll send you a shipping container? Wife has decided I am making lamps, she is finding bottles at second hand stores. I suggested she buy FULL bottles, and I will take care of emptying them, she didn't go for that so much

I bought a tile hole saw last night, going to give it a whirl on the first bottle this weekend.


Now, as to sipping, my go to is the Tres Generaciones (sp?) anejo. $40-50.

Wife saw the bottle, I was willing to participate. Closest one I could find was in Vegas - and they won't ship it to Cali

I figured I could probably place an online order and pick it up local in a few days. Even they didn't have it (last weekend) when I looked. I checked a few other random online outlets, and none had a bottle they would send to me. And yet I can EASILY get some Climax moonshine shipped across the country

YOU are the reason I starting looking for a bottle, since I showed the picture to my wife.

Wait, not sure if I'm thanking you or not

^If you think in terms of making a lamp, it's not quite the same as those beauties in back. In a lamp I'm going to toss the cap and that will be the light socket location (obviously). It's almost as if they had this in mind. I think the opening is almost the perfect size to drop a socket in the top.

It would be extremely cool to convert that agave into an on/off switch!!!

Yeah, that is a solid choice. It was originally a little high in price but when it didn't move and started going on sale it was a good value.

Sorry about the late response. I can't go past the original, even having also tasted the Maple, Black and Reserve. My introduction to Canadian whisky was Alberta Springs Premium & Canada Dry on a trip over there to see family a few years ago. I liked it a lot. I brought back a bottle of Alberta Springs 10yo with me, it didn't last long.

Been drinking this recently since Costco has had pretty good availability and it’s pretty affordable at less than $40.
