What kind of additives are they using?

They add things like glycerin, sweeteners, oak extract, and caramel color for batch-to-batch consistency and to simulate aging.

There was a movement to make this public knowledge and for makers to promote additive free tequila but the Mexican agency that regulate tequila forbade it. I'm sure that had nothing to do with all of the big money that the mass market brands bring... :rolleyes:

I love the Siembra Valles so this had been on my list to try...

I was in Murrieta - my son'e mom lives down there and I drove down for his 8th grade promotion. (He is 5'11" going into 9th grade - needless to say the Freshman Football coach was happy to see him lolol) About a 6.5 hour drive down from here in Modesto.

My buddy from up here was down visiting his mom in Seal Beach at the same time I was down, so they came out to have lunch with my son and I. My buddy stopped by Hi Proof to pick up the order for me. Where are you in SoCal?

I'm in the Beaumont/ Banning Pass area - east of the 215 on the 60. Not too far from Marietta.

It is a great tequila, but don't pay too much over retail... it has a lot of hype and htf so some spots will screw you with price... it is about $60 retail, I'd pay about $14-20 more, but there are places that expect to get $120+ for the bottle...

My buddies and I are into additive-free tequila, so no flavor/color additions, glycerine, or anything else. I like blancos - I get more of the agave flavors forward and that is better to me in most cases.

My faves are Cascahuin Tahona, Siembra Valles, and Fortaleza. Lalo is a great tequila at a great price that can be found lots of places too.
