My wife has been on me for a minute to get a cabinet because I had tequila everywhere. We had a little bar cart as well as cabinet and counter storage being taken over. I was looking on wayfair and couldn’t find anything that we really liked and finally found this one on Walmarts website. I added the lighting but overall I’m happy with the cabinet. Two of the shelves were part of the buildout so I couldn’t move them which required me to move a few things around to ensure it all fit!

I still have some decent room in the back as well to add more bottles but it will work for now. Figured I would share with the community!

Wanted to share some pictures from a recent industry trip to Tequila and Guadalajara. We were welcomed by Guillermo and other members of the Fortaleza family in Guadalajara for drinks (yes $50MXN for any shot of Los Abuelos) and food plus some free time to explore. Next was on the bus with plenty of tequila to go around as we headed to Tequila. That night was a huge welcome dinner featuring Arette, Fortaleza, Don Fulano, and La Venenosa Raicilla. Next day was spent doing distillery tours, my group started at Don Fulano where we got to see all areas of the production and ended with dumping some still strength blanco into a barrel and enjoyed cocktails in their cave area. Next was on to Fortaleza where we toured the grounds, saw the full distillation process, and ended with a tasting in the cave. Last stop of the day was Arette (not pictured) but had an amazing time tasting through their products and learning more about them as I feel they can often be overlooked. We ended the night back at Fortaleza for tons of food and party time, the main plaza was transformed and the caves became what can only be described as the most fun you’d ever have at a bar. Day 3 started with breakfast burritos under the mango trees at Fortaleza and being serenaded by a mariachi band. Next we were off to the glass blowing factory back in Guadalajara, our bus of about 12 polished off 2 bottles on the way there. At the factory we got the opportunity to try our hand at blowing a bottle. Finished the trip off with a party back at a hotel where we could buy Fortaleza SS, Blanco, Repo, Anejo, and Winter Blend plus tons of merch and other goodies, I bought a bottle of SS and had Guillermo sign it. Picture from the Luchador match that night as a bonus.

Went to my local Costco about a week ago for my routine shopping and walked upon this deal. I couldn’t believe it, if I could, I would’ve taken the whole lot haha. By the time I made my purchase and came back inside the store, they were almost all gone. I was able to snag 2 of them. This was is Southern California, Norwalk store. I wonder if any of you got this deal at your local Costco?

Was at the Los Abuelos/Fortaleza distillery today and it was a magical tour.

I had the pleasure of going to a couple of Ancestral Mezcal distilleries yesterday. Honestly I've been to 30 plus distilleries around the world and these blew my mind.

Went to two places that are very small some of the batches they make 15-20 litres depending on how much agave they have. So unique and cool to see these. Feels like how Tequila would have been made years and years ago.

A class action lawsuit was filed alleging Diageo, the London based company that owns Don Julio and Casamigos, has been adulterating their tequila with other types of alcohol which is prohibited by the Norma.

Where to begin. I wanted to take this photo as I will never have this extensive of a stash again.

I love tequila obviously. I would say have a problem, but not necessarily in the way some might think. I tend to accumulate much faster than I consume. There are some empty bottles here and some unopened. I have felt overwhelmed at times with the amount of great tequila out there. I’ve done blinds, ladders, & head to heads to try to narrow what I keep on hand going forward. The problem is I enjoy almost everything this sub has recommended. Thanks all lol.

My personal big takeaways. For sipping I’m a Repo guy with Anejo a close second. Although I haven’t cracked the two Extra Anejos. If pressed I’d say I have found several high proofs to drink too hot for my personal preference. Not great with tasting notes but hasn’t stopped me from enjoying this great spirit. Anyway thank you all again for guiding me & sharing your experiences!

As the title says. The response was "fifth, is that some kind of boomer word".

I'm 45 and thought it was kind of funny honestly. But this is the word I've always heard and used.

So my question is this: what do you call a 750ml bottle of liquor?

Am I just old lol? The names in the image are what I'm used to.

This is my friend’s Fathers favorite drink. He has fantastic taste! Hope you like my rendition! Cheers

My sweetest boy Buddy went to doggie heaven today. To honor his memory, my wife and I decided to open our last bottle of Los Abuelos- Amor Y Perros edition. A very small batch that was produced for a private wedding. Not all bottles were consumed. We were fortunate enough to purchase a couple of bottles from Grovers' private collection before LoteCito was raided by the CRT and his priceless collection was confiscated by federales, who either drank or sold all his bottles to the highest bidder. Anyway, I believe this magic elixir was the result of a happy mistake - the juice sat in barrels for too long, producing what one may consider the only unofficial extra-anejo out of the Fortaleza distillery, at least from a flavor profile/color perspective. An amazing juice to toast a beautiful dog that touched our lives for 13 happy years. Amor Y Perros, indeed.

Shopping for the kid's 3rd birthday party.. looks like dad got a birthday present. They had about 8 cases. I took 2 bottles and left the rest for everyone else lol. Happy Friday my tequila guys 🫡

With my birthday around the corner I figured it was time to crack my bottle of excelencia that I purchased earlier this year in Arandas at the Ocho distillery. I've always been a fan of Tapatio, their blancos are agave bombs and their aged stuff still manages to keep that agave flavor front and center. Some brands have aged expressions that have too much barrel influence that overpowers the agave and its begins to taste too much like a bourbon so I wasn't sure what to expect here. As soon as I cracked the bottle and poured it, it immediately hit my nose with agave, caramel, and vanilla among other flavors but the agave was somehow still front and center. I hadn't even tasted it and I was already so impressed with the nose. Then came the taste, agave agave agave. I actually couldn't believe it, immediate sweet cooked agave with support from notes of caramel, vanilla, citrus and even a chocolate note. I am so impressed with this tequila, I wish I had bought 2 bottles haha anyways go to Mexico and buy this if you find it. Cheers🥂
