Stop Buying Casamigos | 10 Reposado Tequilas That Are WAY Better for the Same Price

[00:00:00] Stop buying Casamigos not because it's popular, but because for the same money, you can drink tequila that's traditionally made more honest and flat out better. Today I'm going to give you 10 reposado tequilas that I would buy every single time over Casamigos at the same price or less. Look, Casamigos isn't a bad tequila, but it's industrial produce. And once you understand how tequila is made, it becomes really hard to justify paying premium prices for something built on mass apparent appeal instead of craftsmanship. Reposado should taste like agave taste elevated by barrel aging. What I want to do today is help you replace an industrial brand with tequilas that are made the way tequila should be made. Here's the big difference most people don't even talk about. Industrial tequila means high pressure autoclaves, diffusers or shortcuts, yeast and fermentation. Designed for speed, heavy flavor, consistency over character. Traditional tequilas focus on flavor, not efficiency. They usually use stone ovens where a lot longer cooking time. Roller mills or tahones. A lot less efficient, but increases flavor profiles. Open fermentation and longer fermentations, which is where the magic really is. Copper pot distillation and zero additives. That's what you're paying for and that's what you should taste. So here are 10 replacements. Siempre tequila Reposado. Siempre is one of my go tos. It's a great tequila. It's balanced, it's clean, has a touch of a barrel influence. It's made with intention. At $51. Acry Lago Reposado. This one punches way above its price.
