Herradura Silver vs 818 Blanco: Is the Extra Cost Worth It?

The ratings gap here is the real story. Herradura's 76/100 crowd score sits below the tequila category median of 83, but 818's 60/100 lands well below that, near the bottom third of over 3,000 rated tequilas we track. Price tells a similar tale: Herradura typically runs $42 to $53 for a 750ml, while 818 usually comes in $19 to $33, making it the cheaper pour by a solid margin. You're paying roughly 60 to 80 percent more for Herradura, and the ratings suggest that premium is earned.
