Cuervo Platino
For many years the Cuervo name has been tied to cheap tequila and less than enjoyable hangovers. To dispel these thoughts, the Cuervo family’s private stock, some 200 years in the making, is now available to the greater good! The number one ranked best tasting tequila in the world, according to the Beverage Testing Institution (one of the worlds highest regarded independent tasting organizations), and with good reason. Floral and earthy on the nose, hint of vanilla on palate up front with rich and full agave flavor- very smooth. Nice touch of pepper at the finish.

What about Patron?
no, it's not in the magazine.
Always take rum on my trips but will need to reconsider after this informative article. Never knew the differences in tequila despite living on the Mexican border for 2 decades (most consumer than student I guess).
Gr8 info Backpacker!!
And don't forget Don Julio and Tres Generaciaones, Ria Azul . . .
I was considering suscribing to Backpacker for my son's 13th birthday. Is this bartender segment in the magazine?
...And Cazadores Anejo, and Sauza Commemorativo. Both very well priced for the quality!
Corralejo Reposado is my favorite at the moment. And I agree, no training wheels needed!
You really need to give AGAVERO a try. Discovered this fine spirit years ago. PLEASE! do not ruin it with any additions, no salt, no lime, etc. Just sip. Yummy.
