Mis Amigos Chocolate Tequila

Product Information

If you fancy indulging yourself this Easter but are looking for something more adult than a chocolate bar then The Bottle Club might have something for you. The company is offering selection of sweet delights on sale – from rich chocolate cream liqueurs to chocolate infused gin, whiskey, rum, and tequila – as well as artisan chocolate bars and hot drinks. The brand uses a time-honored distillation process to create its best-selling spirit and offers a crisp agave flavor and hints of citrus. The final step of the process is the optional maturation. A blanco or silver tequila is bottled and sold immediately – or up to a period of 60 days – after the second distillation when the liquid is clear. But a Reposado (rested) or Añejo (aged) tequila must be aged in oak for a longer period before it’s bottled. It’s a popular choice that’s known for being worthy of far more than its price point would suggest.

His look of surprise mirrored my own upon first taste. It didn’t have the cloying sweetness of a standard liqueur. Smooth enough to prevent making what he refers to as, “tequila face” (aka the grimace one makes when drinking cheap tequila). Oaky aftertaste with a chocolate note. It is usually best to store opened chocolate liqueur in a cool, dark place for 12 to 18 months. Olmeca Fusion Chocolate: A Unique And Tasty Tequila-chocolate Blend Not only was it more upper mid-shelf in price points, Libre Spirits Mint Chocolate tequila had a mature, contemplative flavor. I figured the aging Hipsters or coffee snobs that the Pacific Northwest is known for would be its best target demographic. The client who gave me the bottle was a self-proclaimed “Foodie/Coffee Snob.” In any demographic, while not bad; it’s a niche spirit with an acquired taste.Clase Azul offers the sort of tequila you’ll buy as a present and then want to keep for yourself. It’s a brand that offers enjoyment the entire way through, from the buying process of choosing a unique bottle to the sipping of what’s inside. Before we take a deep dive into the world of tequila, you can find out more about the terminology you should know about tequila and how tequila is made after our ranking. The best tequila brands Rank These days tequila and I don’t party together as much as we used to. It’s like that college friend you don’t catch up with very often, despite those years of being inseparable. When you do catch up, it’s always a night reminiscing about younger, carefree days when hangovers weren’t a thing. My bond with tequila is like that. Gold/Oro: Mixto tequilas that have added colorings. These tequilas come at a lower price point, and the addition of artificial colorings is done to simulate the color created from aged tequila.

Though it will certainly get the job done, I wouldn’t consider this a tequila one would drink with the purpose of getting drunk at the club (i.e. college kids shooting Cuervo). Liqueurs are generally a dessert drink, and this was no exception; leaving me confused as to exactly what cuisine paired well with it. Tequila must be bottled at a strength between 35%-55%, and distilled water is used to dilute it to this strength. However, it’s often exported abroad in bulk, where the distillation regulation can vary. For example, in the United States, the minimum strength allowed is 40%, while across Europe, it’s 37.5%. We recommend Grand Mayan as the best Tequila for Margaritas. Terminology: The terms to know when talking about tequila My roommate got home from work as I was pouring the second shot. He’s a tequila snob who frequently chases an anejo with Guinness. Equally suspicious of combining chocolate liqueur and tequila, he admitted that his personal drink of choice was similar in concept. After all, Guinness has a bit of a mocha undertone. Like me, he chose to sip instead of shoot it. Chocolate tequila shots are a delicious way to enjoy tequila. The chocolate adds a sweetness to the tequila that is perfect for sipping. The tequila also has a bit of a bite to it, which makes it perfect for shots.Another best-selling brand, Don Julio launched in 1942 and was named after Don Julio González, the brand’s first Jimador. Owned by spirits-giant Diageo, Don Julio is enjoyed by tequila lovers all over the world and is known for being a staple brand. Everything Patrón produces is of premium standard. The brand is known for being accessible to both tequila lovers and newbies of the spirit, with a welcoming range of bottles to suit every taste. It’s a versatile brand that somehow maintains a small business mentality while selling thousands of bottles. Extra Añejo: This term was only introduced in 2006 and refers to tequilas that have been aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels. These are rarer bottles and come at a higher price point due to the aging process.
