The winner: El Tesoro Reposado
El Tesoro Reposado wins on nearly every measure that matters: it scores 86/100 crowd and 85/100 critic on Tequila Matchmaker versus 1800's lukewarm 68/100 and 61/100. It costs roughly double, so 1800 still earns a spot in the margarita rotation for budget-conscious mixing, but if you're pouring neat or over ice, spend up for El Tesoro.
