[00:00:01] Speaker A: Hey, guys. How you doing tonight? Tonight I have my lovely wife Tony with me. Are you excited about this one?
[00:00:07] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:00:08] Speaker A: Good. You're getting good at this. We should do it more often.
[00:00:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what we always say.
[00:00:12] Speaker A: I know. You should do it. Okay, so today we're going to do a blind of these four. Still strengths or high proofs. So high proof, high proof, high proof, still strength. All kind of the same thing, though. And I think you enjoy blancos. But more than I think tonight you're gonna dig it. I actually know what yours are and you know which one mine are.
[00:00:35] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:00:36] Speaker A: Now, because I drink a lot of tequila and forget. I wrote them down.
[00:00:40] Speaker B: I wrote them down.
[00:00:41] Speaker A: Oh, you wrote them down, too, Even though you don't drink a lot of tequila and forget.
[00:00:44] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:00:45] Speaker A: Okay. I do forget tequila turns off my record button. I think it does yours too. Like a certain amount. Just no more record button. Which one of these sticks tequilas do you think you already like the best?
[00:00:58] Speaker B: I'm kind of thinking the towel. Yeah, that's what I'm liking the best. But it's been a bit since I've had any of them.
[00:01:07] Speaker A: I think the last time you had Tao, we were probably at 14, 14 with Sergio Cruz, and they broke this out and we were blown away. So I'm going to say the same. I believe that Tao is my favorite. That Fortaleza is my second favorite. Siete Leg was my third favorite. And Lala would be number four.
[00:01:25] Speaker B: Gotcha. Don't know.
[00:01:27] Speaker A: Don't drink them enough to know all of that. You just know you like this one. So should we start at the inside and work our way out?
[00:01:33] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:01:34] Speaker A: Okay. Let's just fire up this first one.
[00:01:36] Speaker B: We may not be tasting the same one.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: No. Well, it would be really random.
[00:01:40] Speaker B: That'd be so.
[00:01:41] Speaker A: Oh, that'd be weird. That'd be like when you and I put on the same color clothes, which is always. Yeah, we do that a lot.
This one smells good. Well, you can taste it right away or you can smell it.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: I'm not a fan of it.
[00:02:05] Speaker A: Okay. I think I know what that is.
It has a nice sweetness, not like a super amount of agave. So I think I know what that one is. Do you? Did you like yours? What's it taste like? Do you get any agave flavor or anything?
[00:02:24] Speaker B: No, I taste the band aid flavor.
[00:02:26] Speaker A: Really?
[00:02:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:27] Speaker A: How do you get that and I don't? I never get that in tequila.
[00:02:30] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:02:30] Speaker A: I think you're looking for it.
[00:02:32] Speaker B: No.
[00:02:33] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:02:33] Speaker B: I was Ready for it to be sweet.
[00:02:35] Speaker A: Okay, well, let's do the second one. Let's see what. What the second one would be.
This one has more smell.
[00:02:41] Speaker B: I like the smell of those.
[00:02:43] Speaker A: You do not what I thought the first one was. I think the second one is. Dang it.
[00:03:00] Speaker B: I taste like a spearmint.
[00:03:03] Speaker A: Spearmint.
That's a great finish. Flavor for me.
[00:03:07] Speaker B: Yeah, it was good.
[00:03:08] Speaker A: I don't get any spearmint in this one. This one, I'm not getting a. I get agave. I'm getting a really tingly finish, and I'm getting more muted. Muted flavor than what I would expect.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: What's that mean?
[00:03:21] Speaker A: It's just not as flavorful.
So it changed what my thought of which one this one is now.
And I went back to the first one. Like, go back to your first one and taste it again, and then that kind of changes. Maybe what your opinion of the first one was.
[00:03:43] Speaker B: Nope.
[00:03:44] Speaker A: Wow. Can't believe that.
[00:03:46] Speaker B: That's a strong one.
[00:03:47] Speaker A: I know what that one is too.
Okay, ready for the third one?
I like the smell of this one.
[00:04:01] Speaker B: This one barely has any. I can't smell it.
[00:04:07] Speaker A: This one has a better mouth feel.
It has a lot more agave flavor.
I get a little bit of citrus in it. It's a little bit sweeter.
Venom. This glass has peyronie's disease.
Yeah, it's tipping a little bit.
[00:04:29] Speaker B: Can't see it on the camera.
[00:04:32] Speaker A: Okay. That's the best one so far.
[00:04:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:34] Speaker A: So I'm gonna be, like, number one. Number two. Number three for me.
What do you know?
[00:04:44] Speaker B: That one, like. I don't know.
A lot of flavor up front. Up front. But then not so much in the end.
[00:04:53] Speaker A: Does it have, like, a hot finish or does it just go away?
[00:04:56] Speaker B: Just goes away, huh?
[00:04:57] Speaker A: How about that?
I wonder if the food we ate right before we did this.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: I just was gonna say what I ate, which was just fish and.
[00:05:06] Speaker A: Yeah, asparagus. We had halibut and asparagus.
[00:05:09] Speaker B: And onions.
[00:05:10] Speaker A: And onions. I don't know. It definitely has changed. Like, they don't. They don't taste like I normally would taste. Tasting these straight up. So let's do this last one here.
Okay. This one's really good.
Is it weird that I. I know which one I want them to be. You get so excited about a brand.
[00:05:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:47] Speaker A: And then you so want that one to be the one. That's the best one. Then now you're tasting them blind, and you don't know, and it changes what your mind is doing. Like, I'm trying to figure out which one it is because I want to like it the best and.
[00:06:00] Speaker B: Well, don't do that.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: Well, it doesn't. Doesn't matter because you still gotta figure out the flavor. So number one, number two, number three, number four. Now we gotta do the same thing, but I think we should taste back through them a little bit.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: That's what I just was doing.
[00:06:15] Speaker A: Okay, so I'm gonna do that again, too.
Changed a little bit.
We probably should have put some water in between.
This one really heated up in the finish.
Did your finish get hotter?
[00:06:43] Speaker B: Yeah. This one?
Yes.
[00:06:46] Speaker A: I mean, I don't know about that one. I'm saying this one, my finish got really super hot.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: Like, it's still going.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, still going. Still long.
So I like that.
I don't know if it is the combo of them.
[00:06:59] Speaker B: Maybe I'm gonna say one, two, probably three. I'm gonna say wow.
[00:07:08] Speaker A: Only because I know what those are. Leave it like that. So we remember, let's. Let's just do a quick taste through all of them one more time.
[00:07:16] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:07:16] Speaker A: And make sure that you're.
They are all a little bent.
We got our. We got our glasses from Bent. Carrot dot com. If you don't know what that is, google carrot.com.
[00:07:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Advertising.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: I know what that one is. And I really like this one. So that's very good. I'm pretty sure. In fact, what I'm going to do is I'm going to put them in front of what I think that'll mess you up. Don't want to. Yeah, definitely. Number two. Definitely number one. This one's hot. That one is really hotter with this. Has the least amount of, like, flavor.
[00:07:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:50] Speaker A: And it's the hottest one. And this one's really easy to drink with a nice finish.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: Okay, you do yours.
[00:07:56] Speaker A: You want me to say what I think they are and then you tell me what they are?
[00:08:00] Speaker B: Well, yes.
[00:08:02] Speaker A: Okay, so.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: And tell me, what's your favorite one?
[00:08:05] Speaker A: Number one is this one. And I think this one is Tao. Damn. What is it?
[00:08:10] Speaker B: Siete Leguis.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: Siete Leguis for the wind. That's awesome. So this one I feel like was Fortaleza.
[00:08:19] Speaker B: Is that your size?
[00:08:19] Speaker A: Yes. This one I feel it was Lalo. So this one must be Tao.
[00:08:24] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:08:25] Speaker A: Okay. Which makes sense how that one, like, heated up big time in the finish. So Siete Leg was for the freaking win here. For me, that is. That tells you how good that tequila is. That's really good. And I really thought it was Tao because of some of the flavor profiles that I picked up out of it. But for some reason tonight, the. I usually get like this pine flavor out of the towel. Remember how it was? Juniper Y. And I don't. Maybe my sinuses are a little off or something. I'm not picking that up because I don't get it. Do you go back through them and look for a pine?
[00:08:59] Speaker B: I felt that's what I felt was pine.
[00:09:01] Speaker A: But that was also the one you felt was smoky. Band aid.
[00:09:04] Speaker B: Band aid. But now I taste pine.
[00:09:07] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:09:07] Speaker B: I taste band aid. So.
But I would say.
[00:09:11] Speaker A: So tell me which one's number one. Which one's your favorite?
[00:09:14] Speaker B: Well, I would. At first was gonna say, this was one.
[00:09:16] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: But then when I went back through, I was like, this was one.
[00:09:21] Speaker A: Okay, so this one's number one.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: Yes. And then this was two.
[00:09:25] Speaker A: Okay, that's number two. So pull it out this way. So 1, 2, and then 3, 4. So this one's number three and this one's four.
[00:09:34] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:09:35] Speaker A: Okay. So you picked for number one.
Fortaleza. This one's number two.
Number three. Lalo.
[00:09:48] Speaker B: And number four, the one I thought I would like.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: Isn't that amazing? And isn't it funny that at first you totally push.
[00:09:57] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:58] Speaker A: Fortaleza out, but as it opened up and you tasted it more.
[00:10:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:02] Speaker A: Yeah. It does have a great flavor.
[00:10:04] Speaker B: This was tale. I'm. I taste pine.
[00:10:07] Speaker A: Yeah. I went back to look for the pine.
[00:10:09] Speaker B: No.
[00:10:09] Speaker A: Still don't care. Yeah.
[00:10:10] Speaker B: Weird. I think I do smell it.
[00:10:13] Speaker A: I definitely pick up a bigger finish in it. It has a much warmer finish at the end.
[00:10:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:20] Speaker A: So are any of these ones that you wouldn't drink?
[00:10:23] Speaker B: No.
[00:10:24] Speaker A: They're all so fantastic. So thanks for tuning in and checking out a blind taste testing of these four. Thank you for the person who asked me to do a blind of this CF Lego high proof. And I'm sure we'll come back with another video.
