i like drinks. especially water

Dawg u look like a water

[@aligningpurposes268]

Is this really you Andy Milonakis?

[@andrewnock2675]

Same here bro

[@dpyousee]

Water is pretty decent

[@pauljamilkowski3672]

It's amazing the amount of work that goes into making this stuff and yet so much of it can be produced

[@brayanlperez6981]

The town of Tequila a wonderful place, sure the roads are horrible but when you see all the work the "Jimadores" (harvesters) put in and the process of making it, it is a wonderful thing.

[@DonRamiro1]

go to Atotonilco. it's one of, if not, the prettiest town in Jalisco. it's an absolutely amazing place.

[@nimasherpa856]

Its really intreasting and knowledgeable for me for being myself as a Bartender i learned a lot from this video rather than from google...than you sooo much again doing this all ....

[@drinkspirits]

Nima Sherpa Thanks for your comment, glad we were helpful to your education!

Geoff, I just found this while showing my aunt and uncle how piñas are harvested. Pretty damn cool that you did this and that DJ allowed the footage. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.

Don Julio is incredibly smooth. Really Changes the way you perceive tequila.

[@juancastellon7183]

Don Julio is a premium tequila brand, and the process makes it very smooth. I’m only familiar with Don Julio’s Silver, depending on how long the tequila rests in the barrel will affect how smooth the final product is. I recently bought a bottle of Hornitos Reposado. Silver rests for 2 to 4 months, reposado for 7 months, and añejo ages for at least 14 months. I just bought a sample bottle of Casamigos añejo, and I must say it is very nice.

[@kneebarx]

better than jose cuervo?

[@theramo0]

@@juancastellon7183 None of that is correct. Aging a tequila longer does not make it smoother. A silver tequila is always aged less than 2 months, a reposado is aged for 2-12 months, an anejo is aged for 1-3 years, and an extra anejo is aged for more than three years

[@juancastellon7183]

[@jaimesilva3367]

Roz Pierce actually its nothing compare to 7 Leguas Tequila it come from the same place that don julio in Atotonilco El Alto Jalisco Guadalajara they only sell it in Mexico and not everywhere. If u ever get a chance to go try it everybody prefers 7 Leguas than don julio, patron, etc.

[@jaimethiessen]

Herradura is not behind in my opinion. Try their Seleccion Suprema.

[@popcornEater1000]

El Himador is what you want

[@AM-su8op]

Purple Unicorn el Jimador is garbage even the winos in mexico won't drink that sh_t!

[@CGeeThompkins]

Very informative. I do not drink alcohol, but I saw the plant and followed the "trail"😊. These plants grow huge here in Florida. Maybe a cousin to the agave😊 thx again.

[@sitizenkanemusic]

Oh you were in the Highlands- "Los Altos de Jalisco"... That's where my maternal grandparents are from- Tepatitlan. I want to visit the town of my roots :(

when I was visiting my dad in zacatecas mexico we stopped at Antonio Aguilar spot where they make the tequila it had a sweet aroma

Try the exclava over there or Aztecalli from same place. Much better than Don Julio

Awesome vids mate. Just came back from Mexico and didn't get a good shot at a tequila tour, now I feel like I went on one.

[@davidreid-daly472]

Great video, thanks !

[@code7cd4]

Was great to see their process. I am a fan of Don Julio's tequila. On a visit to the highlands of Jalisco, Don Julio unfortunately was not doing any tours. We were able to visit the Siete Leguas Fabrica and were impressed. Siete Leguas still uses the tahona stone led by burros to grind their agave.

[@lnr00429]

really cool thanks

[@shizzle1903]

Great info. I want to be a tequila master. This is my first lesson. Thank you for the content.

Hello & Hi, thanks for sharing this wonderful video on Tequila making. Though I had an opportunity to have tasted Tequila only once in my life, the way you explained the process was exceptional. Cheers!

[@mr.v2666]

I love Don Julio thanks for the video

[@shireenperveen5250]

OMG it’s an amazing process. I didn’t know anything about Agaves. Excellent presentation!!!!

that was badass experience that u got to go and see it made in person!

[@jamiemccarthy6055]

That's AMAZING!

Genuinely fascinating perspective of process. Don Julio was recommended to me in El Paso by a barman named Frank at Carlos & Mickey's airport restaurant. Best Tequila!

[@reezbeest]

[@darlatitus2738]

Very cool! I always wondered how it was made.

[@ochemistrytutor]

Jeff, do you have any information on fermenting cactus ? Thank for the tour, it reminded me of the Bacardi Rum factory tour in Puerto Rico which we did as a family several times in the 70's.

[@littlemayo]

good video...i noticed you were in atotonilto el alto. i love that little town

[@ek917733]

thanks for the vid!!!

[@Lunasi57]

They refer to/call those agave plants as PIÑAS (pineapples) because they do look like giant pineapples..

[@garya1k]

very well done. enjoyed it.

[@diannemccormick8165]

Añejo is the best for sipping

[@alfredtoyo5433]

Interesting that Julio adds yeast. I’ve been on other tours where the stills are open to the air and microorganisms make their way into the vessels.

[@artzap87]

Interesting, would you be able to tell me what tour that was?

[@nellykauvai2373]

Thank you for sharing... so cool...

[@grahampeterson5791]

This was cool. I learned something new. Thumbs up

[@artistpw]

It's nice to know how to make things like this. I may have to try agave syrup in making kombucha or a second ferment.

[@francesrogers3665]

Very well described. Wish I was there.

[@Smokin4CHRIST]

Good, direct not jaw flapping like so many other tools and very informative. Thanks from a feet on ground Australian.

[@jacksonamos5752]

My question is about that pina because you show us the alovera label on yourTequila bottle so is any different between alovera and pina?

[@rpetersen2]

jackson amos that's not aloe Vera it's the agave plant, they look similar though

THEY DO NOT LOOK SIMILAR!! OMG !! Agave is a tall plant. Aloe vera is a small cactus. Aloe vera does not creat a piña, just leaves. Huge, huge, huge difference.

[@sharistrazz3313]

I had to LAUGH when the guy says, " it's not stopping to ask for directions.... It's the GUYS WITH GUNS!". I SO CONCUR!! When my husband & I were in Mexico on our CRUISE EXCURSIONS, I was SHOCKED at the POLICE walking & driving around with ASSAULT RIFLES AROUND THEIR NECKS & GERMAN SHEPPARD'S ON A LEASH. EVERYWHERE! In Puerto Vallarta there were POLICE armed in front of clothing boutiques where we were for that days excursion at the ELSID HOTEL! Scary!!

[@ananddass3126]

Great review 👍 Thanks for video 😊

[@difooldifool]

The Patrón Hacienda is the nicest I have ever seen and their process is different! They use the Tahona wheel process as well which completely changes the flavours and use pine wood for their tanks and copper for the stills. I really recommend it!

[@tonydanzl]

Checkout the Casa Herradura hacienda tour & Tequila Train videos !

[@jimm787887]

Question, do the tequila producer add water when before fermenting take place ???

Interesting, Video. well articulated and and well shot.

[@ktrock77]

This goes way beyond a small tour we went on near Mazatlan. All they did there was show us the very end of the process, lock us in a room, and give us half a dozen samples of fine tequila :) Contrary to what another guy was saying, it is quite drinkable by itself, unlike what we might buy in a liquor store here in the states. So my question is, what's in the garden variety tequila that's not in the good stuff?
