Thanks guys, I have learnt so much from your videos

[@iess2006]

Love Arette, my favorite line along with Tapatio.

[@davidoramirezmusic]

Tequila is masculine noun in Spanish, so it is “el tequila”

[@nexrace]

7:30 cutting out the leaves that never came to be on the Pina helps to remove bitterness cutting the pina in a proper pineapple shape also helps because leaving the leaves sticking out produces bitterness as well cutting out the Quiote should be done too

Love the tequila drink through. You guys should do a mezcal in your USC…Bozal Mezcal

[@Tlcinsrq]

I finally found the regular reposado in my area, so I had to buy it. Can't wait to try it. I enjoy watching you guys.. Great videos!

[@steveszymanski2962]

Celebration has to be the best nosing note I've ever heard - Dillon is a national treasure

[@superdoggo0]

@27:10 - In spanish it is EL Tequila, in masculine, because Tequila is a detilate/spirit and the word for destilate, or destiladO in spanish, is masculine. So it is El Destilado Tequila, and of course, in everyday language it is reduced to El Tequila. La tequila would be wrong unless you are mentioning a particular brand or specific name, like a bar named La Tequila or such. For the drink, it is always EL Tequila. Cheers

[@sjcsscjios4112]

I bought the regular Arette repo and I find that it has this unique smell to it. I would describe more like caramel,corn,hay coming through. I don’t think I’m getting grape, what do you guys think?

[@giovannihernandez8020]

I love the artesenal line from the blanco to anejo. And the extra anejo what can I say it's delicious. But what I love about the repo is that I get a Dr pepper taste. And love it.

[@LordSteven00]

Great video, really enjoyed. Cheers bros!

[@MrHavy09]

Nice, will have to check out that repo and ea. Interesting to see how the arette high proof blanco compares to other high proof blancos

[@charlesbowers8112]

The cork is what you're complaining about? Really? This tequila is sublime for its price point.

[@wddthedraftsman8679]

Everytime Dillon points at me and says we need to have a straight talk, I become one with fear. As should we all. Keep up the amazing content, guys!

[@ernieforni3221]

Arette blanco is my go to Tequila for cocktails. Makes a good Margarita and Paloma.

[@michaelriddell2881]

You guys crushed it as always, great video!

[@frankmurillo422]

Arette Anejo non Artesenal is a unicorn to find

[@tequila_and_bullies3150]

One of my favorite HP blancos. When in Mx I stay at Orendain’s B&B casa Tahona and sipped this tequila every night. They have all their offerings available on a shelf in courtyard.

[@weirdocubs]

Get your hands on the 10 year extra Anejo. I know there are a few picks out there including Nana’s kitchen in Tucson that’s also sold at Liquor Vault in Scottsdale. 10 year, 92 proof, absolutely AMAZING!

[@hombreleon]

How much are they charging for the 10 year?

[@weirdocubs]

@@hombreleon $199.99 at Liquor Vault in Scottsdale, AZ. Unknown price at Nona’s but it’s their barrel so perhaps a few bucks cheaper. For comparison the regular extra Anejo retails $167.99 here!

[@MoneyManMyles]

I need this very bery badly. I think the regular anejo is my favorite in the lineup

[@JasonGonzalez-sk2gc]

Ratatouille-“I’m detecting nuttiness”

[@allenbt11]

I wonder if you guys lost something in the analysis by jumping back and forth between the regular and artisanal lines. You might have caught more progression running through the entire line, if you went B>R>A in the base line before jumping to the artisanal line. And as noted by other commenters, really curious to see what you think of the 10 YR Gran Clase expression. Great Drinkthrough! Cheers.

[@robertmyers5763]

Alright, I'm grabbing a bottle of the repo to see if I get what you guys are raving about. No one has put the repo on blast like you guys. I already have the Suave repo on hand for a comparison. EDIT: Went to the spot that I know carries it...29.99 for the 1L!😁

[@toddprit]

I'm interested to see if you agree with them or not because I went out and bought a bottle after their raving about it and I find it undrinkable. I really don't get it, maybe their older bottle is just way better I don't know.

[@robertmyers5763]

@@toddprit I've had the square bottle blanco and it's just ok, but also forgettable. The repo is confusing to me, and maybe I got a bad bottle, but the aroma is faint, the taste is lacking any punch except pepper, and I mainly got a lot of sweetness on the finish and not much else. I'll give it a try again in a couple of days after it has a chance to open up, but definitely disappointed with all the recent hype. To be honest, there's no way this will ever be in the same league as my go to repos, De-Nada, G4, and El Luchador. In fact, I could go 10-15 repos deep and this still wouldn't get mentioned.🤷‍♂

[@sjcsscjios4112]

@@robertmyers5763 I agree. To me, it has a unique note in the aroma but it lacks complexity and it has a shorter finish. I don’t get the hype either. I know it’s comparing apples to oranges but I found ocho blanco to be leagues better, more complexity, more enjoyable, longer finish.

[@geomanxer]

14:54, Dillon mentions doing Jose Cuervo Gold shots, and Dutch almost pukes. Some bad memories there???

[@MrPsiman]

you should be drinking more estery rums and unaged wild fermented rums. They blow Tequila and generally a lot cheaper. I'm surprised Dillion is not into more rums

[@Janoy_Cresva]

Wondering if there are major batch differences because I finally started seeing the arette repo in michigan, and the bottle I have is significantly lighter than how yours appears at least from a viewer perspective. Definitely good, but it is pretty tame. The one I am sipping looks nearly like a blanco and it'd be hard to tell that it is a repo.

[@pman8587]

Xmas eve I fresh cracked a Siete Leguas XA and we ended up drinking Arette Repo, that stuff is gold

[@ositofreitas]

The artesenal suave uses stone/brick oven and the regular uses autoclave.

[@jackbrady86]

That Tim and Eric clip though 🤣

[@DzigaJerkov]

The difference between the budget blanco and artisanal blanco is the cutting of distillate. The budget one doesn’t cut as much of the heads & tales as the artisanal. Most premium tequilas cut much of their heads & tales away, leaving mostly the heart

[@sjcsscjios4112]

Hey guys. I was watching this again with Arette reposado in my glass. And I definitely picked up the grape note now, there is definitely that wine presence there, tannic and acidic grape. However, there is also a sweet note that really reminds me of caramelized corn.

[@tshockwave1]

We needed this!!!!

[@easye47]

Will you guys do any future tequila tours in Mexico ?

[@lrvogt1257]

Arette blanco is my go to. I’ve had and compared the others in your blind test and hear what you are saying but the extra flavors in them that Arette doesn’t have are ones I don’t care for. Over time my preference in general has moved from añejo to blanco. I don’t get the bitterness in Arette blanco that you do at all, just a light pepper taste . It’s a great value.

[@oscarmakavelli]

32:55 Dutch was Creaming himself in the Corner! 🤣

[@benvieira3895]

Currently using the regular blanco as a mixer and I kinda agree with you guys, it's passable but nothing mindblowing. Any other brands you'd recommend I check out for this purpose? It's hard to justify putting a $45+ tequila in a cocktail for myself and my college roommates

[@CuriosityPublic]

wow - the regular blanco is closer to $22 around us! Still our go-to recommendation for mixing. Espolon is another one we use for mixing - inexpensive, and fine for mixing, but not necessarily great for sipping. And if you can find the cheaper version of El Tequileno, that is another option.

[@benvieira3895]

@CuriosityPublic Cool yeah the blanco in my area is also $20-23 (I meant I couldn't justify using a higher end tequila for mixing). I was using Espolon before this but I'll have to do a side by side with my roommates this fall. Appreciate it!

[@lrvogt1257]

My regular place in Chicago sells a 700ml bottle is $30.

[@amoncarter5083]

Cimmaron or Suerte are both great

[@joethesampleguy3414]

Old Forester corks are so solid. (Gives stink-eye to Makers corks)

[@tequila_and_bullies3150]

Need to send you guys an old school El Tesoro Reposado. Something from 2007 maybe…. Easily one of the best Reposados ever made and still available if you know where to hunt. El Tesoro Olivr oil bottles.

[@smoothtalka6204]

Man, I’d like to try this lineup. Cheers 🥂

[@Dutch23954]

Coming from another Dutch that loves tequila, i really enjoy the channel!

[@Dutch23954]

Curious if you have any experience with Mi Familia Florez brand? I couldnt find anything that says its certified additive free on tequila matchmaker, but it seems to maybe have some additives. They are recommending it at my local total wine stores in florida

[@aaronnohren]

Clean drinking tequila at an incredible value, but the olive forward taste is so overpowering. The repo helps knock it down a bit, but if i want that flavor profile, I'm making a dirty martini.

[@allenpiazza1409]

Is "Drinkthrough" actually trade marked? Interesting if it is.

[@DirtyHairy01]

Great drink through! One of my favourite Tequilas!

[@Shootsmith]

I get awesome cinnamon notes on the Arette blancos. I was hoping ya'll would have tried the 100 proof Extra Anejo Classe special bottling.

[@yolandaorejel2663]

Where do you guys get most of your tequilas especially your hard to find ones any recommendations ?

[@alexstevens45]

I'm in Ohio/Kentucky and I'm calling around trying to find anywhere that sells Arette. Anyone have advice on where to get that?

[@pman8587]

Have you tried the newest Arette repo batch with the new talker square bottle?

[@tomgensel4134]

The differences has to be the process used for each. Wondering what process makes for the best pour?

[@mike-oh7pz]

how does Arette EA compare to Tears of Llorona? Or El tesoro Paradiso? I can get El tesoro Paradiso for cheaper in my area

[@LuisSanchez-iw7bi]

"el" tequila guys!

[@toddprit]

I really think you guys should try out a new bottle of the cheap repo because the bottle I bought is undrinkable, it's disgusting, I do not understand how we can be drinking the same stuff.

[@sjcsscjios4112]

What are you tasting on it? What notes did you find off putting??

[@robertmyers5763]

@@sjcsscjios4112 I just bought a bottle today and maybe there's a bad batch. This bottle's aroma is faint, the taste is also lacking strong notes except for pepper, and the finish is all sweetness and not much else. Batch LE202210.

[@sjcsscjios4112]

@@robertmyers5763 ohh okay, I’m gonna check my bottle

[@toddprit]

@@sjcsscjios4112 Ok so I went back and re-tasted it after my initial first few attempts with the bottle about 5-6 months ago. Back then I was getting this really off putting grassy note and this kind of fresh wood type flavor that I'm not a fan of. Something about it with that grassy note tasted off and artificial. So my current tasting I just did after letting the bottle site for all that time was much better I must admit. That grassy note has disappeared, but I still don't get a ton of depth. It's very sweet, almost like an artificial sweetener taste like sucralose, there is still that fresh wood flavor and a bit of agave and maybe a kind of candy corn note...but mostly it's sweet. It's definitely gone from terrible to fine and pleasant, so I will take that back but I still don't think it's AMAZING or able to beat El Tequileno, G4, Fortaleza, Ocho, etc. It's fine...but to me it seems you need to let the bottle sit for a long while before the "off" flavors burn off.

[@sjcsscjios4112]

@@toddprit I’m with you on the grassy note and candy corn which I didn’t find off putting personally, and I think it makes it unique. I think they were describing that as grape or grape skin but I don’t see it. Despite that, it falls short on the palate and it lacks depth and complexity. I haven’t had other repos so I can’t say if it’s better or worse than the others they compared it to but I can certainly say that ocho blanco was more complex, balanced, lasted longer in my mouth and it was overall more enjoyable.

[@hombreleon]

Solid tequila line here, gents. Big ask, could you name the bottles when comparing them vs tapping on the bottles and saying, “This one/that one”. Por favor 🙏

[@4Runner123]

I bought 2 bottles of Unique extra Anejo in Zihuatanejo last year brought home opened and noticed the cork quite weird looking? I poured some into a glass went and tasted and spat it back out! Tried next bottle same thing tasted so bad tried again . Not sure what was wrong but the taste never before I’ve done this but poured both bottles out! I emailed Arette never got a response. I’ve drank lots of Arette always liked it. There is a Grand Classe extra Anejo 10 year and it is awesome if you ever find a bottle grab it!
