On this special, “Great Recession” episode, th’ Lip continues his quest for the BEST bargain bottles for your hard-earned Depression cash. This week he pits the current champ, “El Ultimo Agave” reposado against Gran Centenario’s “Azul” reposado. Both bottles hover around the $16 dollar mark.
That’s a good price for a “puro” (100% agave) tequila. But if the juice is undrinkable what’s the point? Watch the Show and see if “EUA” can defend his crown against this massively-marketed newcomer. But wait!! What’s that??!?? Lippy has pulled out an older TREASURE BOTTLE of “EUA” repo from its ORIGINAL distillery! OMG! How does the current juice compare with this widely-acclaimed “dusty bottle”? Watch and see!
TEQUILA STATS:
BRAND: El Ultimo Agave
NOM: 1522
AGAVE SOURCE: Midlands, Tequila MX.
WINNER’S GENERAL TASTING NOTES:
“EUA” repo has a fast-sweet attack that is pleasurable if not especially singular. Look for VERY fruity notes in the mid-palate with a soft and heated finish that is basically respectable but not especially noteworthy. What’s mostly lacking in the flavor profile is a discernible AGAVE presence. And that’s too bad.

You need to post the after whisperer club. Some great education but my room mate was babbling in my ear so I couldn’t paytension. Great show but the good part came late.
