Before You Buy Tequila as a Gift… Watch This!

[00:00:00] Stop buying bottles as gifts. Seriously, if you want to blow the mind of a real agave lover, there are two gifts that be any bottle on the shelf every single time. And most people don't even know they exist. Let's start with the first one I think every tequila nerd should experience. It is the Agave Social Club membership. It's not just merch, it's not just swag, it's definitely not just a discount code, although you do get all of those things. But what it really is is access. [00:00:27] Direct access every month to a live sip session where you join on to a community of agave lovers and tequila fans. And you get to meet and listen to a brand owner tell their story. And the coolest thing about it is it's interactive. You get to ask questions. So if you have that nagging question that you really want to know some information, you can just ask the question and get that information directly from that brand owner. It really helps you learn more about the tequila. And there's a great group of people that allow you to exchange information and talk about tequila. Doug Price also puts together some amazing single barrel selections every year. This one Cones which I am sipping on right now and also the El Tecaleno first high proof reposado. You get early access to these special barrels and they sell out really quick. So it is a great place for any tequila or agave nerd to learn more and to get to talk to more people about tequila. And it's only like 175 bucks a year. It's a one time payment each year and you get to be a part of this amazing community. So definitely check it out today. I'll have a link in the description to be able to join. Check out the Agave Social Club and don't forget to listen to the Agave Social Club podcast. [00:01:39] This one I'm going to talk about is the Tequila Collective. Some great shirts, really cool glasses. But what you get when you join this club, you is a lot more than just some swag. [00:01:51] This club is huge. It's an active community led by Rob Gerard. It's, it's perfect for anyone who loves discovering new bottles, getting recommendations and diving into the tequila culture every day. Think of this one as Tequila's world Group Chat. You get bottle drops, you get live streams, you get a lot of education. [00:02:09] There's blind reviews, there's distillery breakdowns and a lot of discussions with tequila fans in a discord chat that is always blog buzzing and live with new information. Another thing Rob does is he puts together distillery tours and trips to tequila and around us and it's definitely a way for you to not just go from the community and learning, but hands on with someone who loves Tequila and has great relationships with these fantastic distilleries. This is insanely supportive. If you've got a question, you can go in and ask. If you've got a question about a bottle or you want to learn about something new, there's always somebody there to reach out to lift you up and tell you that information. So in this you're not gifting somebody a bottle. So here's the bottom line. Bottles get emptied, right? But these memberships, they give you all year long information. If you have a tequila lover in your life, these two gifts will absolutely blow them away. Links are in the description. Check them out. Let me know in the comments if you're going to join or tag a tequila lover that you think should have this as a gift. Hopefully I'm talking to you or one of your friends in an upcoming sip session or in a chat. Have a happy holidays and cheers.
