Budget basic
Does the job and doesn't pretend otherwise. Bottom-third reviews at a bottom-third price. Tequila Matchmaker drinkers give it 77 across 647 ratings, vs. 82 for the typical tequila (1,899 rated).
Hornitos Black Barrel is a 100% blue agave añejo tequila produced by Hornitos (Sauza/Beam Suntory) in Jalisco, Mexico. After aging as a traditional añejo, it spends additional months resting in deep charred oak barrels and specially toasted barrels, giving it a whiskey-like richness with notes of vanilla, caramel, roasted agave, and toasted oak. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
