100% blue agave does not make it better. In fact, by law it has to be 100% blue agave to be called tequila. And the blue agave cactus must be grown in a specific region in mexico to be called tequila. As for the el zarco, save it for cleaning your engine parts or paint brushes. It will definitely take the lining off your esophogus. The Herradura are all great mid range products. For my list of top tequilas go to the beginning of this thread. These will run ya 60 to 120 bucks a bottle, but once you go there, you won't go back to the cheap sh&t.
OK, I'LL STAY AWAY FROM THE EL ZARCO. DO YOU CONSIDER DON JULIO TO BE A BETTER TAQUILA THAN HERRADURA?

Your question is loaded. It really depends on what you like, if you like the sweet yet a bit harsher kick of the reposado, then I actually prefer the Herradura or Patron product (mid range mind you) over the Don Julio Product. But when it comes to anejo, the Don Julio product is superior to both Herradura and Patron. If you want to spend a few more dollars, check out my list. You will notice that I do prefer the Anejo over the reposado.

WELL, I HAVE A FRIEND THAT MAKE REGULAR TRIPS TO MEXICO AND HE BRINGS ME BACK A BOTTLE OF SOMETHING SOMETIMES. I ASKED HIM TO BRING ME A BOTTLE OF THE DON JULIO NEXT TIME. I PAID 20 FOR THE 950ML JOSE AND 35 FOR THE 950ML HERRADURA. HE SAID THE DON JULIO WOULD BE ABOUT 35 ALSO. I TRY NOT TO GO TO MUCH OVER THAT PRICE RANGE.
