Are These The 4 Best Tequila Blancos Ever? 

Three of those four brands are on my top 3 tequila brands of all time. Fortaleza, G4, and Ocho! Let's goooooooooo! Cascahuin is definitely a solid brand too and better than most.

Cascahuin is still my favorite for sipping. Own all 4 of these too!

Great lineup Doug!

I’ve picked up the G4, we don’t get Fortaleza in my state and I haven’t seen the other two but we do get those brands so I’ll keep my eye out.

Great Vid Doug

Great video! I have 2 of the 4 you mentioned 😊Fortaleza Still Lote20 and G4 B . Love em both! Visited Fortaleza back in March and what an experience. Can’t wait to go back again 😊

Proud and incredibly fortunate to have the first 2

I just got done listening to your podcast with Luis Torres, the owner of Tequila General Gorostieta. Very interesting and compelling stuff. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to cover how he ended up getting killed. Someone from Mexico City who was on the side of the government learned to speak in the Alteño accent. He had blond hair and blue eyes and that allowed him to penetrate Gorostieta's inner circle. From there he gave the information on where Gorostieta was hiding, in Atotonilco, which was a place called "Hacienda El Valle" and is now called "Nuevo Valle." My grandfather purchased that very hacienda a few years later along with a man named Chato Fonseca, who is a relative of mine on my dad's side and who is the father of Enrique Fonseca. My grandfather and Chato were business partners for a time. They were the two big dogs of Atotonilco and my paternal grandfather, Cruz Fonseca (my namesake) was the one who kept the books for my other grandfather as well as being a Cristero himself. My grandfather Cruz was a captain in the Cristero movement and was a compatriot of not only Enrique Gorostieta but of El Catorce as well. I, too, now have 90k plants in Rancho Santa Rosa, south of Arandas and just north of Atotonilco. The plants have been in the ground for only one year but I hope to turn them into agave nectar after harvest.

Love the content! As a “good” tequila newbie your content is priceless! Still have yet to see any Fortaleza in my area but do see a decent amount of Ocho. Thanks buddy

Hey Doug, great show and vids. Love the Fortaleza and G4! have both those lotes. Glad you are a realist about the Puntas and CdL because those things are super scarce. I even when to Cascahuin and asked about it and toured and wasn’t able to try it so.. I gave up. For puntas I’ve called, visited, and follow up emailed every store I know of in Bay Area (no luck yet). I have to believe the people that were able to get in via sip new about it exclusively in advance. Apologies if I sound bitter. I am a little, sometimes feels like if one is not an influencer, you are in the dust.

Doug - wonderful list. I have the G4 (Lot 12b is amazing), Cascahuin Tahona, and Fortaleza Still Strengh on my shelf. I'm waiting for Sip Tequila to get the Ocho Puntas back in stock. All of these are must haves.

ok... yea these are definitely my top 4 right now after trying more Cascahuin! 😅

BLANCOS⁉️ Bring them on‼️Great lineup.😋🤤🤩

I have the first three of them and I have the Tahona in instead of the Cerro. All Amazing in my opinion !

Now I haven’t drank all of these but am a tad surprised El Tesoro isn’t on the list. First time having their blanco I was amazed.

all 4 amazing! I would make it a top 10 list and add Primo, Terrlata, el tesoro, Lagrimas plata, Volcan, and siete leguas DECADAS. may be the best blanco ever :)

Tapatio and Arette are excellent and a bargain to boot.

Absolutely can’t find any of those in my market. My go to right now is the Tapatío 110. Super delicious!

Hi, doug. Not knowing i stumble across your podcast which is excellent. Im a newbie 6months into tequila. But man im learning fast, and already pick up on those 3 of 4. Still missing cerro de luz.😅

Just got a few Pasote SS. Stunningly amazing. Tastes like chocolate

Love your channel already. Also loving the podcast. I’ve only been collecting tequila for 1 year but have learned a lot. I recently bought G4 blanco that is 14B and it is fantastic, best G4 I’ve had. Anyone else have thoughts on 14B?

didn't know about the lote 12b!

Fortaleza Still Strength is a Quality Product but the flavor profile is not what my palate craves and for this reason it is a Hard PASS but Contrarely---The OCHO PUNTAS 2021 "101" is the Finest Expression of Tequila that I have EVER tasted---Absolutely AMAZING!

Leaving out Siete Leguas once again...

Is lot 12b any different from their blanco de medera? Which was supposedly el pandillo’s first time using wood fermentation?

big up fortaleza 👊

Whats a good place to order bottles?

I lucked out and found 2 bottles of Ocho Puntas at my local liquor store in Texas.

G4 Madera is a special blanco as well brothaaa

Teq OCHO is IT my friends. Cheers

Tequila Ocho Plata has become my go to tequila. Delicious

Is there any place where I can still find Cascahuin Cerro de Luz?

Doug is Wild Common worth the $70 price? Is it worthy period. Ty

I can’t find any of these tequila in nyc liquor stores. I purchase yesterday for the first time a new tequila called JAJA the worst newest tequila on the market what’s your opinion on JAJA tequila.

Where are the best places to buy tequila in the inland emipire California?

🇲🇽🔥

Wait! Why do you know about the Colts leaving in the middle of the night in Mayflower moving vans?

G4 Madera can be had in lieu of blanco 12b

Puntas might be one of the best tequilas in the world. The Cascahuin is priced beyond what i will pay ($800?) so I will never know about that one.

Fortaleza is the best by far !!!!!!

So these will be the pappy of Tequila

So your telling us to search for unicorns got it lol

You missed the King and Queen of all Blanco's....Calle Criollo 23 and Fuenteseca Cosecha 2018 - Huerta "Las Antenas" G4 does not belong in top 4 Blanco's nor does the tequila OCHO Plata Puntas.

Not a fan of Repo. Blanco or Anejo please.
