I don't like the Tres that much. It doesn't have the right flavors for me. Never had the other two. I actually like the Blanco tequila better. When I drank a lot I would mix it with Pepsi w/Lime. That really brings out the sweet flavors of the Agave plants.

If you don't like the Tres, you probably wouldn't care for the Herradura .. similar flavor profile, but the Herradura is just a little bolder. I drink good liquor neat, and am not nearly mature enough to take a blanco that way. When I'm mixing, I usually go for high-quality cheap stuff (my mixing-tequila of choice is actually the ultra-cheesy looking El Toro Triple Distilled -- with the sombrero cap!)

Don Julio Anejo Tequilla

Nope. Good stuff, but not what I'm looking for.

Well a favorite drink of mine is scotch on the rocks...I'm gonna guess Johnnie Walker Blue

Don't worry, people always look at me weird for mixing Tequila. I think that I am revolutionary, someone has to start mixing somewhere.

Alright, first hint. It's an IBA official cocktail.

Manhattan. For the bonus, Perfect VO Manhattan, on the rocks, with a twist.

Not a manhattan, but you have the right type of liquor.

whiskey and coke?

Hey scrambler,,, my guess Whiskey Sour..

Yes, but what kind of whiskey? (For the bonus, not just type, but brand)

Makers Mark...

Nope. My favorite is Rebel Yell, but its hard to find. My favorite mainstream bourbon is Knob Creek. Since its pricey most places, I usually order Jim Beam Black if I'm out. I'd have accepted any of these for the bonus. Either way, there will be a nice package headed your way.

Never would have guessed Rebel Yell, Wikipedia gets the assist on this one with the IBA drink list. Only other would have been Old Fashion, and you just didn't seen the type. Good question . Now I have to get one in here.

van - you a tequila drinker? I find the Don Julio very smooth, but almost without character, especially for an anejo. Have you tried Herradura, Tres Generaciones, or El Tesoro? Those are great, especially the Herradura. I think I'll have some of that tomorrow.

Duty, As far as straight liquor goes, Tres Gen is my favorite. I prefer it immensely over Patron, which everyone seems to think is the best of the best.

People always look at me funny when I order straight tequila. Then when I turn down the lime, salt, or chaser they act like I'm insane/not human. I can shoot the cheap stuff without anything to soften the blow, but I love to sip the good stuff.

A bourbon sour is my favorite drink, but straight anejo tequila is a very close second.
