tequila lovin' =)

Tequila, is my favorite liquor. I don't exactly know why, but maybe because it was my aunts who taught me how to drink alcohol the first time, and they used Jose Cuervo tequila. I loved it, plus I enjoyed the way it's drank--salt-shot-lemon! Kinda fun and exciting.

I got used to drinking Jose Cuervo that I never enjoyed the taste of other tequilas, especially the cheaper ones. I've never been drunk with Jose Cuervo, even after 11 shots, and maybe I have mastered it as a skill already. Haha!

But it was only now that I knew about several tequila classifications. It varies on how long it's been aged, resulting to variation in its taste also. Well I thought it's only wines that are being aged for years.

And my latest discovery was about this Asombroso Tequila, which has been awarded as the Top Tequila in the 2008 SF World Spirits Competition for its El Palitino. It was also awarded Gold for its Extra Aged Anejo, and another Gold for its unique and extra special 11-Year Aged Anejo. Wow cool!


Well, here in the Philippines, I've seen a TV feature showing that the Ambrosio Tequila is available at Maya Bar in Cebu. It costs Php 9,000.00 per shot, or $2,400.00 per bottle. It's super expensive! But still, I wanna give it a try someday. Well, even just a shot will do.=)
