I’ve followed you for a couple of years, here and there. And I’m barely seeing this video, and I’m so thankful you made videos about additives and the amount of knowledge you have. But I’m also saddened cuz Addictivo was my favorite. Lol also, when I first started drinking tequila I started with Gran Centenario, and I remember going back to it and thinking it taste different. I’m glad I wasn’t crazy cuz you kinda confirmed it for me. My taste buds do not lie, and neither do yours! Keep doing what you do man! Great stuff
Hi Times - great tequila selection. I find your shopping trip videos really interesting - it is helpful to see you scan the shelves and give a quick thumbs up/thumbs down on the tequilas in stock. I am always on the look out for a good liquor store within driving distance of the LA area so please keep them coming. If you find your way to Tlaquepaque it would be great to see you take us through shelves at El Buho.
I picked up a bottle of the Suerte Blanco last weekend and loved it. I've been sitting on a bottle of Fortaleza Reposado for a few week that I haven't opened. It was kind of hard to find where I am from. Trying to decide what to have this weekend. Life's big decisions. Thanks for the review.
I’m new to Tequila and absolutely loved this video. Very informative, Thank you! One brand I will look for on your channel is G4. Curious what you think of it.
For sure I'm visiting this place after your recommendations sure there are more places in the OC but now I'm interested in this one, tequila and wine are some of my passions but you Sir are the most honest and knowledgeable. Thank you
I really enjoy your videos , Ive picked up 2 of top 5 natural process in El Tessoro and San Matias Tahona. So thank you for broadening my palate I have 3questions 1. Have you ever visited Jalisco as we would like to go. 2. You mention "Difused" often. Can you elaborate? 3.. I see several tequilas on other reviews high recommended like Clase Azul and you don't seem to like them. Can you tell us more on why?
I am glad you like the channel and it has helped you. I would be glad to answer your questions. 1) Yes, many times. You can watch the video on Terralta and see pictures from the distillery when I visited. 2) A diffuser is a machine that some distilleries use to make tequila that is more efficient than traditional processes but makes lower quality tequila. Brands that use them are brands like Jose Cuervo, Cazadores, Hornitos, Sauza and more. its large industrial brands. 3) Clase Azul among others used artificial sweeteners and additives to make their tequila taste better. THey taste artifical and not like real tequila. People that don't know better like them because they are sweet and vanilla-y. I don't like that in tequila. I like the natural flavors.
Really like the Gran Centanario line, specifically the plata for margaritas. Didn’t know it was mixed now, will have to look into that! Any mid line brands you would recommend? Ready to take a step up, thinking siete leguas!
@@TheTequilaHombre I just found out that Old Town Tequila is located in San Diego where I live... I'm going to do an in store visit!!! Thanks!!! Salud!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Is 512 diffused too? That's from Texas. It's like half of the products are not good quality or they are celebrity tequilas. There are many many good tequilas but the industry is kind of depressing. At the end is all about the money.
Additive bombs are tequilas that use artificial flavoring to enhance the flavor of the tequila. it can be sweeteners, vanilla, oak, or caramel flavoring among some others..
@@TheTequilaHombre is there a way to know which ones when your standing in front of your bottle? To me don julius blanco... smelled way to vanilla like... but I didnt know some brands use these. Where can I find the info... I haven't noticed tequila match maker lists if additives or not. Enjoying your videos... so wanted to do these videos but I enjoy watching yours. You do a great job
@@TheTequilaHombre Should try, it's another Denomination of Origin Called Sotol , it comes from a totally diferent plant.. called ,yes, Sotol. from northern Mexico particularly from Chihuahua. And there is another destillate from other agave called Bacanora thats is from Sonora
“Additive bomb additive bomb” by far my favorite parts of these videos
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them!

I go to el Buho all the time.. That would be a many episode video! 😀👍
Friend getting into tequila: “What do you think of ’s tequila?”
Tequila Hombre whispers: “Additive bomb. Additive bomb. Stay away.”
Yep..
Unbelievable selection, I wish here in Illinois we had half that selection!!
Yes, they do have an amazing selection.. Thanks for watching.

@12:20 That is Depeche Mode "Get the balance right " playing in background
Nice..
Great Review!! They have a massive selection. I like Riazul but if I gauge it off your other videos I would say they are additives.
Good call!

What do you think of corralejo
Used to be good but now isn't. pass for me.
Is there a pretty tequila bottle that actually has good juice or are they all garbage?
Rey sol is an amazing bottle with fantastic juice..

El Tesoro is great stuff. Start there and see what you think.
Probably my favorite video of them all. I really enjoyed that a lot.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Is their a way to know that they have additives? Just by looking at it? Or?..
Just by tasting it.. Overly sweet or an abundance of vanilla or caramel..
Is grand mayan a go?
Not any more..
Good video!!! Nice store & great selections!!! Where can you get G4 Tequila locally?? Thanks!!!
They have a page on their website that will tell you where. g4tequila.life/where-to-buy/
@@TheTequilaHombre I just found out that Old Town Tequila is located in San Diego where I live... I'm going to do an in store visit!!! Thanks!!! Salud!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Yes. They are in San Diego and have G4.
Was waiting on your thoughts for Arette Balanco Tequila. You passed right by it. Any thoughts?
It's good for the price. I like the artesanal suave line better though..
any possible good recommendations from the local super market or bevmo
It all depends on what they have. Altos can be found almost everywhere. That's a good choice! Thanks for watching!
This place looks awesome and it’s in Orange County. Do you need to be member here ?
No. Its just a regular, really nice, liquor store..
Is espolon diffused?
no.. You should watch the live stream tonight at 5PM PST.. Going to go over difusors..
@@TheTequilaHombre ok cool ill be watching
So grand mayan is legit? No additives?
Not anymore!!
So much great information in this video! Thank you Tequila Hombre!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video. In Michigan we can't get much here. But I will save and review over and over.👍
Awesome! Thank you!

It's not diffused but it's from a bad contract distillery that makes mostly garbage for people that want to buy a tequila brand.
Another excellent stroll through the tequila shelves. Taking notes.
Thanks again!
Great shopping review
Thank you 🤗
It surprised😨 me you said stay away from El Jimador. Most forums I've been on that discuss tequila praise the juice.
Nope.. Made with a big machine called a Diffuser.. Don't touch it.. Not good quality tequila.
Sorry but what exactly is Mezcal
?just trying to learn 🥰

Excellent video lots of good knowledge quickly
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Fast forward 4 years and a lot of that tequila is super hard to find you now
I can find it quite frequently on Ferment and Still. Thanks for watching.
@@TheTequilaHombre I looked on your website today and there is a lot of stuff that you can't find other places.
@@kingjory28 That's why we created that site.. Buy away!
@@TheTequilaHombre it does ship to Texas right?
@@kingjory28 Yes, They do.
Please do a video of herradura!
I'll add it to my list..
Men! Today I did Azuñia for the time thanks to you and it was great. Thanks for the tip. 👍 great job
Fantastic! Glad it helped you find a tequila you like!
What's additive bomb. What's the "additives'
Additive bombs are tequilas that use artificial flavoring to enhance the flavor of the tequila. it can be sweeteners, vanilla, oak, or caramel flavoring among some others..
@@TheTequilaHombre is there a way to know which ones when your standing in front of your bottle? To me don julius blanco... smelled way to vanilla like... but I didnt know some brands use these. Where can I find the info... I haven't noticed tequila match maker lists if additives or not.
Enjoying your videos... so wanted to do these videos but I enjoy watching yours. You do a great job
Ever try La Gritona reposado?
Yep! What did you think about it?
@@TheTequilaHombre well I’m just getting into tequilas but La Gritona was easily the best I’ve had. So tasty!
Is it diffused or additive bomb?
@@mattleone5831 No, i don't think so. Try El Tesoro, G4 or Fortaleza and see how you like those..
@@TheTequilaHombre bought a bottle of G4 reposado. I’ll try it Saturday!
@@mattleone5831 Awesome! I can't wait to hear what you think!
Good shopping review. Now I know what to look for.
Glad I could help
So much tequila wow. I'm going to go check it out.
It's a great store..
Check out the Riazul. I think its great.
Too Sweet for me.. Additive bomb..
I thought 1800 uses autoclave not diffuser..
That's what they say.. but wherever there is a diffuser you can bet they are using it!
I love Hitime. Locally we call it , "Alcohol Disneyland."
I always leave there with a bottle of 7 Lauguas Reposado. I'm not very adventurous.
7 leguas is GOOD TEQUILA. You could have left with worse..
Really informative, thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!
The sotol HACIENDA DE CHIHUAHUA is the best sotol in Chihuahua Mexico
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
@@TheTequilaHombre I feel the same about Hacienda....perhaps a sotol episode on Mexcal Mondays is in order, love these shopping videos.
@@iess2006 There are some sotol reviews up there already! 👍😁
I love Hi-Time. I've spent way to much ordering from them!
Yep! It's a great place for tequila and Mezcals.!
Dos armadillos tequila good stuff and kool looking bottle reposado
I agree.. I have reviewed the Dos Armadillos anejo. Review is on the channel..
My favorite part of the video was when Hombre encountered the Tequila Trumpet bottle. 😂 What the …?
Yeah. I don't get the weird bottles.
More Vlog videos like this please.
Here is Man, who has done his Homework.
More shopping with the hombre on the way. Thanks for watching!

Cristalinos are extremely popular in Mexico currently.
Yes They are..
Mi campo. Good tequila. Try it. It made in wine barrel
I have tried it. Wasn't a fan..
Dobel is not diffused
Thanks for watching..
El Mayor and Grand Centenarrio is da best
I guess we can agree to disagree.
@@TheTequilaHombre 4sho, my bar is 80% old school Anejo brands but I must admit ,that el mayor extra Anejo goes down like water lol
@@Memphi5Made901 I like my tequila to have character. What good is tequila that is like water? If you want water, drink water.
@Inglez Nokut9duceyou know how y'all be Mr Tate 😂
Love some El Mayor. Anejo is perfect for the bourbon drinker who wants to get into tequila.
I agree!
Caballito is awesome
It's good.
Love CM. ❤ Chihuahua..lol I would avoid it too.😀
Yep..
@@TheTequilaHombre Should try, it's another Denomination of Origin Called Sotol , it comes from a totally diferent plant.. called ,yes, Sotol. from northern Mexico particularly from Chihuahua. And there is another destillate from other agave called Bacanora thats is from Sonora
@@emilioarredondo5443 Yes, I am aware of and have tried Sotol made from Dasylirion and Bacanora.
No to Codigo. I didn't like it. Had a bitter bite. Minty. 😛
Watch my latest review
I buy much better juice watch videos and asking in FB. My collection is coming along a lot better. The store people don't know crap.
So true!
