Your TEQUILA is LYING to You: Tasting for ADDITIVES

Find out if your Tequila is LYING to you and come join us for National Tequila Day
Don't drink Casamigos! It was the worst by far
First let me clearly state that I am not a sommelier. This is my attempt to stumble my way through tasting for quality, and the tasting notes that I reference are far from exhaustive of even what I can taste in these tequilas, let alone a seasoned sommelier.
Additives are used in tequila to mask what is basically agave vodka and pass it off as tequila. Made to the minimums of the law, and with immature agave, most mass scale tequilas are made in a diffuser that strips all of the flavor out of the agave and breaks it down to basically just starch and sugar for fermentation. Then after distillation Additives are you know.. added to the agave vodka stuff to make it taste kindof like Tequila. Yeah, it's gross. Basically your tequila would say "natural and artificial flavors" if they were required to label that...

I highlighted a few good Tequilas in this episode:
Tres Agaves : The MOST affordable additive free Tequila that I know of, and they are of decent quality.
Tapatio : Really a fantastic brand.
ArteNOM : The premium labels in this episode. They are dedicated to the Terrior of Tequila, and no two bottles are alike.
They don't make my snifters anymore, I know, it's horrible...
BUT The Glancairn Glass has you set for most of what you would think to put in it

Sorry this is releasing kinda late on Tequila Day. Somehow I scheduled it for midnight instead of noon and just noticed.

[@TheAdrian7826]

You did good,you definitely Have a good nose and palate ! Cool Vid ! At my local store the Casamigos and Don Julio is locked up,while the good stuff sits out freely.I hope people realize additive free is the only way to go !

[@TheProhibitionKitchen]

LOL, the popular brands are the high shrink items because they are “cool” even though it’s junk. Thanks for the comment!! Come back soonish for RUM!!!

That was a fun experiment! Anthony did great in identifying the tequilas we currently have in our bar. Btw, he was not able to view my cheat sheet, lol.

[@TheProhibitionKitchen]

LOL.. there were NEW tequilas in the mix too..

[@andrewdavisdigital4084]

I think this is my favorite video so far

[@TheProhibitionKitchen]

I’m glad you thought so. It was entertaining to make, though once I got into it a bit… let’s say I made the edit more difficult than it needed to be.

[@danielthai6274]

Hmmmm ….I thought you’ve always liked Casamigos!! Haha…Very interesting!

[@TheProhibitionKitchen]

After learning what I have about tequila, and only having additive free tequilas for a while now, going back to casamigos was a shock.

[@THCarballo]

this dude was waaaaaaay drunk before the sampling

[@TheProhibitionKitchen]

Lololol The intro was filmed after sampling was completed. And come on… just buzzed. I didn’t actually consume the full .75oz from all of them. Lol.
