I Drank EVERY Celebrity Tequila & Ranked Them ALL!

[@kwesty1]

Classic! I recently went to San Louis Obispo, Ca. to visit my sister. I stopped at the local BevMo to pick up a bottle. The "Lock case had 818, Casa Amigos, Patron, Don Julio, etc.. But the kept the El Tesoro, Lalo, and El Tequileno (Anejo) was on the shelf... I laughed and grabbed the latter and went to checkout.

[@truthseeker7867]

I’ll never be able to thank you enough for turning me on to El Tesoro. You are the best!

[@Lui_Fern]

Happy to help friend 😁

[@g.anthonycapaldi721]

Nice job Lui. Way to not hold any punches. Hope you've recovered from that 818 trauma. The reason I believe a lot of celebrity tequila has been doing so well is because people love to name drop and feel cool telling friends and family they bought it without actually caring if it's a well made tequila. Educating yourself on what goes into making a good tequila will make u think twice before you actually buy a celebrity tequila in the first place. 🙂

[@Lui_Fern]

I completely agree friend! And it took a bit but I did recover hahaha. Happy you enjoyed this one 😁🙏

[@TheToloachito]

Lui what's your opinion of PI Tequila

[@ladnargnoll1400]

Ive been avoiding Santo but after this and your interview with Guy I'm going to grab a bottle. Great episode!

[@jaykapur9588]

It's actually very good and not overpriced. Especially if you can find the single-barrel bottle. They make a really interesting Mezquila product as well.

[@delgadogarces]

Thanks for going over these brands. Sadly, some of the mega sellers of alcohol stock these over smaller brands.

[@Lui_Fern]

Yeah unfortunately quite a lot of them actually. It's sad.

[@Superaficokings87]

So, Insolito and Santo Fino were the best of them i see. Thanks man! Nice job as always.

[@Lui_Fern]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@MusicNerdMIDI]

9:30 If I recall correctly, small batch usually refers that a "small" amount of barrels are blended together, and bottled as one batch. At least that's how it works in the whiskey world since small batch whiskey is a big thing. However, the term is also meaningless because "small" can mean anything and there's no regulation or standard to what "small" is equal to. A small batch for a mom and pop distillery can be pretty small, but "small" batch from a warehouse that stores millions of barrels is totally different.

[@cvbart434]

Awesome video! Really enjoy the fact that you don’t hold back. I did have a bit of a hard time hearing you over the music but big fan otherwise!

[@Lui_Fern]

Sorry about the music! That's my bad. 😅 I'm still ironing out the kinks.

[@MaZarems]

@@Lui_Fern all good! I’m an A/V nerd so just thought I’d give you some feedback. Thank you for this content. It’s really helped me get more into tequila. I’m hooked!

[@CosmicFishbowl]

Sammy Hagar has been in the tequila game for a while. Cabo Wabo is his too which has always been pretty solid.

[@icxcnika9990]

Cabo Wabo WAS his. Sold in 2007. Cabo Wabo is now made at a different NOM, and is not that great. Santos is being made at the original NOM the original Cabo Wabo was when it belonged to Sammy Hagar.

[@scottgross5236]

I agree with you on the Santo. Should give the Mezquilla a try. Would love to hear what you have to say about that. (amazing in a good margarita) Remember that Sammy Hagar started Cabo Wabo tequila back around 2000. First tried in Mexico at his club and really loved it then. After he sold it there seemed to be a Don Julio effect on it if you know what I mean. To this day the best bottle I have ever had was a Cabo Wabo bottle on my 36th bday ( I am 55 now ). Of course I am older and wiser now and thanks to you have discovered some really amazing tequilas. Thank you

[@DoobieKeebler28]

I thought Santo was only a "mezquila". Didn't realize they also made a straight tequila version. I was hesitant about Guy's involvement, but Sammy Hagar has been in the tequila game for decades now. He was responsible for Cabo Wabo.

[@mmwosu]

Came here to say the same thing. I’m surprised he didn’t bring it up. Pretty sure Sammy Hagar had his foot in that door LONG before any other celebrity did

[@keithbowman731]

Mezquila blanco respasado & anjeho

[@Eliminator27]

Missed a good one, Number Juan. It is Ron White and a partner of his, I have been on a kick with it for several years. I like a tequila with a little pineapple juice and a lime wedge, im not tough enough to drink it neat haha

[@xiucoatl82]

Ready for part 2. Maybe add Eva Longoria's brand, as well as Adam Levine. I believe its Calirosa. Oh, also Jaja.

[@Lui_Fern]

I will have to do a pt 2 at some point for sure!

[@lukepliska1879]

Great video. Did you speed up the video’s playback speed during some parts? It seems sped up/ fast at some points.

[@karlhaug5001]

Thanks for the advice on your videos headed to Mexico in November

[@kennethadrianiii9480]

So if you find a still strength tequila does it ensure there is no additives? Or can it still have additives in it

[@Lui_Fern]

No that has nothing to do with additives. Because the additives are added at the end of the process. Still strength just means that it was never cut with water to bring it down to about 40% ABV

[@dbrooks7639]

great video Lui..... Your sacrifice is appreciated !😂😂

[@Lui_Fern]

Thanks 😅 I'm a man of the people 😁

[@spoulin99]

Curious how u feel toward Michael Jordan’s Cincoro??

Thanks friend 😁🙏 happy you are enjoying them

[@eb98100]

Great stuff Lui! I’d love to see a deeper dive on Blanco! Cheers!

[@jacksanbornjr7743]

It was refreshing to see at least Midland and George Straight have good/decent tequila and be additive free. All of them being from Texas they probably have at least a cultural respect and appreciation for Mexico.

[@Lui_Fern]

You would hope so! But yeah they are decent

[@Cflynn2001]

Texans drink 2 liquors primarily. Whiskey and tequila.

[@jg4767]

What's sad is most of these celebrity brands are all I have available to me locally. The only tequila I can get that is additive free is Tres Agaves, which was a revelation as I'd only had tequila with additives before. BTW I have to admit your reactions to the bad tequilas are hilarious.

[@reijagross317]

can you rate Pantalones tequila from McConaughey

[@Lui_Fern]

I've got a whole video on it on my channel

[@rmcm2078]

Casa Noble should have been readily available and is owned by Carlos Santana. Gets decent reviews on tequila matchmaker. Was hoping to see it here!

[@WatchMilesTV]

Nice vid. Always appreciate your realness. I was hoping to see Jordan’s and Diddy’s brands also. Wondering if they are decent or sanitation.

[@Lui_Fern]

Jordans brand costs an arm and a leg and I ain't made of money 😂😂 nah, I actually filmed something at the store with it but it didn't really fit the vibe of this video and since I didn't buy it I didn't wanna include it.

[@WatchMilesTV]

@@Lui_Fern appreciate you taking the time to respond. I was going to try it at a bar, but they were charging $25 a pour. I passed. Because like you, not made of money! Lol.

[@Lui_Fern]

@@WatchMilesTV I'd be wary anyway. I doubt it's good.

[@razzledingle]

Great video! Definitely consider a part deux with Ambhar, Casa Azul,, Casa Noble, DeLeon, Prospero, Cincoro. There are more celebrities in need of humbling.

[@Lui_Fern]

I can certainly consider doing that! It's a good idea haha gonna have to start a savings account just for that 😂😂

[@craigalexander4532]

Casa Noble used to be my favorite, but it seems to me that when they changed the bottles, they changed the juice, too. I still look for the old school short, square bottles.

[@laiky71]

have you ever tried the original Cabo Wabo?

[@dechanpaman]

Don’t forget, Sammy’s Cabo Wabo came way before casamigos. You should try the original Cabo Uno.

[@mrfinesse]

Thanks Lui for suffering thru "Garbage water"- BTW congratulations on getting married. I guess the video from Italy was tied to that event. It's interesting that you did call a couple of these celeb tequilas "Decent". I have never tasted them (nor will I). I guess Sammy has his Cabo Wabo, so perhaps he's been a promoter, and ended up doing a decent job. I am still sticking to Cimarron and Altos Olmeca (for cocktails), and Other good stuff for sipping (such as G4, Fortaleza, Terralta, Volans or Tequila Ocho).

[@Lui_Fern]

Thank you friend! I posted the video about Italy earlier this week on here. I went shopping for Tequila in Florence. And yeah I think that's your safest bet about tequilas as well 😂😂

[@christopherporter7623]

I agree with all of your takes on these except Dos Primos somewhat. I actually haven't had their repo so I can't comment on what you drank on video (I've read mixed reviews of it - so "meh" is probably a good average). But I have had a bottle of their blanco and was pleasantly surprised that I liked it as much as I did. There are definitely better blancos out there, but I thought it was solidly decent. I enjoyed it in cocktails mostly. Thought it was good as a sipper too.

[@billnicesun3613]

Another great video on Tequilas Lui ! Every Tequila lover should know your channel! I learned a lot about tequila watching your videos. Also very funny. Thanks!

[@Lui_Fern]

Awesome! Thank you friend! Happy you enjoyed this one 😁

[@triedlikesilver]

I heard a rep talking about Codigo yesterday, too, lol. The part i heard is that Codigo only uses the first press of the agave. Gotta be honest i dont know what that means yet. I heard him in passing.

[@jurassicdub]

What do you think about Ron White’s tequila?

[@gijoey5912]

Is that Number Juan? I heard it's pretty decent.

[@tacticalmacabee18]

Intrested in trying the santo reposado but thats the only one lol

[@fairlylocal607]

Santo Fino is actually pretty good...if you put that juice in an old school Cabo Wabo bottle the same people saying 'meh' or 'ok' would be flipping for it. Main downside is that it's a little expensive compared to other really good options.

[@irenec2252]

Thank u! You’re entertaining and informative!!

[@Lui_Fern]

Thanks my friend 😁 happy you think so!

[@flundyyy]

Thoughts on montelobos?

[@J_Miller]

Insolito is my go to brand, glad to hear it got a good review

[@Kevlar830]

Small Batch is just a marketing term, it's also used in the Whiskey industry.. And yes, "strangely" (note the quotes) Small Batch is often used by very big companies x)

[@jingledell1]

It's not surprising that Hagar's tequila would actually be decent. He was the first celebrity to have his own tequila branding, beating Clooney to the punch by over two decades when he founded Cabo Wabo in 1990.

[@Jackson-guitarist]

Love to FINALLY see someone who is not afraid to say it how it is. I have seen to many channels praising a lot of this garbage. Thanks Lui, I am back to El Tesoro as my go to , that I never should have abandoned years ago.

[@Lui_Fern]

Indeed it is!

[@downtime212]

9:23 I contemplate the issues of deception and betrayal. I refrain from endorsing any celebrity-branded tequila, even when it boasts quality, due to concerns about worker exploitation for the enrichment of millionaires. Additionally, such practices threaten the tequila industry by impeding genuine artisans' ability to craft their products. My apologies for this passionate expression of concern.

[@joelaltman930]

I I'm not sure if Flecha Azul had changed anything since you made this video but it looks like they have sent their tequila to tequila match maker and they now have the label of certified addictive free

[@Lui_Fern]

Yeah I saw that recently as well. I'm not sure. I know the one that I tasted did not taste additive free but maybe they changed it. I trust the folks that's kill a matchmaker so maybe they did

Lui the reason the rock sold so much of the teremana is because they have a deal with the biggest apple bees operator.
