I received this by UPS today: I had some with a friend in a bar a week ago. REALLY SPECIAL tequila. It's in very limited supply. I looked all over Chicago liquor web sites & outlets, and though many list it, everywhere it's out of stock. Then I found a site "Rare Tequilas" out of California, and took a chance and ordered a bottle from them. Came today. It's the good stuff. Very flavorful and almost sweet. We're having Christmas Eve at our house and this will be the after dinner offering.

Um, somebody messed up your bottle. Not sure how they twisted it without breaking the glass.

Addictive tequila? I'd sip with restraint if I were you. I don't think I'd put small bottles of it in the kids' stockings.

That’s the way all bottles look after the 4th drink.

I have maybe 3-4 shots of tequila a year but it's about the only hard liquor I drink. Went to buy a bottle but backed out when I saw the shipping charges were as much as the booze. I guess I'll be sticking with the Silver Patron in the freezer.

But I’m interested in this for a Tequila splurge. Clas Azul. It’s a Reposado and reputed to very very good. And I’m on the hunt for some Bulleit single barrel, bourbon which apparently isn’t in OR.

Mike OK I was in a hurry first time thru and interpreted 2 day and next day shipping as my only choices and didn't notice the $26 dollar ground shipping default option already factored in to the price. So I went ahead and ordered a bottle of that stuff Marshall ordered. I wanna be drunk like Marshall.

That looks like something you'd see at Grandma's house. If Grandma was a well heeled day drinker.

I’ve never tasted tequila. This sounds like a good place to start.

I’ve never tasted tequila. You mean "never" or "not that you remember"? Like that time you woke up in a cow pasture in Tijuana with your clothes on inside out?

"Happy notes with tequila"..... I can't remember how many bottles? 1000 or 2000 - pints, quarts, fifth, 2 liters........
That was about 20 years.... You could always hear - a dozen Teq - after the garbage/recycling truck
my old nickname....
