About this deal

The brand’s Añejo tequila is aged for 18 months in old bourbon American oak barrels, where the tequila inherits its golden hue and fuller flavour profile. The makers of this single-origin spirit champion pairing it with tonic instead of gin for a refreshing drink to reach for in all seasons. I submitted an enquiry about a gift set over the Christmas period, which was promptly answered, ensuring I could make the right purchase for my needs. The white tequila goes through a 40-day ageing process, leaving behind a smooth taste and agave flavour that works wonderfully in cocktails like a Paloma or just to sip slowly and soak up its warmth.

A family recipe let loose just over a decade ago, the Código 1530 is a super-smooth spirit that will encourage you to rethink how you feel about tequila.This example shows how different it can taste from tequila, with smoky elements and an earthy undertone. Blanco is the one that bars usually keep on shelves for cocktails, but if you’re making a round at home and want a bit of extra depth or you’re feeling boujee, try adding a reposado tequila to the mix. Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver is a premium offering from this mammoth distillery – it's a slick, 100 per cent agave spirit that has well-balanced smoothness and sweetness. Ultra-smooth from the start with wood, vanilla and butterscotch that give way to roasted agave midway.

Tequila distiller El Jimadorgrows and harvests its agave in Amatitán, in the Mexican state of Jalisco.Cazcabel Reposado is chewy with caramel and punchy with cinnamon and pepper – it makes an excellent Mexican negroni. This tequila is matured in both American and French oak casks and has notes more akin to whisky than tequila. Named after the workers who toil in the blue agave fields to harvest the leaves to make this tequila, you can taste the quality in every sip - no wonder it’s restaurant Santo Remedio’s tequila of choice for margaritas. But the classic goes a little something like this: three parts tequila, two of a triple sec like Cointreau, and one part lime juice (the ratio is blissfully easy to remember: 3, 2, 1).

I never used to like tequilla - that was until I was given a wee sample bottle of El Rayo last year. Made from nothing but pure agave, this premium bottle is named after the year the company first began barrel-ageing the spirit.

Depending on the style of tequila, the notes and aromas can vary from rich, buttery fudge and toffee to sharp citrus and herbaceous flavours.
