Lou Agave of Long Island Lou Tequila - LALO Blanco - A New Distillery... Is It Better Than Before ? 

That's fantastic. He's such a nice guy

Another guy from mass in full Agreement

I love how passionate he is about carrying on grandpa’s tradition. It shows in the high quality of this juice!

Glad you liked it. Yes it's easy to drink, additive free, and being sold everywhere.

Thank you❤️

Yes, but surprisingly I expected more of a difference with the copper than what I got. Although I rated it a point higher, cuz it was easier to drink and maybe a little fruitier, it was also much lighter overall.

Hi Remy, I have not as yet seen LALO in Phoenix either🤔

I haven’t seen it anywhere in MX either. I just muled some down from the US. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks Lou.

❤️

Trust me I only have the new one one point ahead. As I mentioned they're pretty much neck and neck... they're all good

@Kevin Suriano As per Eduardo, the founder he wanted LALO to always be a pure Blanco expression where the AGAVE is the star with no Barrel influences, so he has no plans to branch this out with a Repo or an Anejo. With that said, he never said he wouldn't create a future brand where he could give us a Repo and an Anejo from the same juice as LALO, but as of right now that's not in the works as far as I know.

Hey, if you're in the Chicago burbs, check out La Azteca in Melrose Park. Biggest tequila selection I have seen. Some of their sale prices are incredible too.

@@MadMax-2112 Live not far from Buffalo Grove, Melrose is a hike, but thanks for letting me know, If in the area, will check it out.

Hard to beat that

That's exactly what I said in the review, and I actually liked the nose better on the original, but overall considering it's copper now, I'll give the nod by the slimmest of hairs to the new version. As I discussed with Lalo himself, I hope that it improves even further going forward.

Yes I've stopped doing the long intro a while back.. thank you

No I haven't, and I believe that's one of the older ones from a different nom. Maybe if there's enough left I'll try to do something.

I don't think so, if you noticed, I like the original almost as much as the new version in the new distillery. Everything I use is parafilmed afterwards, so I'm not too worried about loss.

Yes as I mentioned in the video, the new distillery is all copper. Even though it is, I had a hard time liking the nose a lot more than the original. It was a little lighter and easier to drink overall, and I think that as they get their feet wet at the new distillery, the future Lots will become more bold and more representative of copper distillation

Don't remember the exact date that Lalo told me but it should be around your date or very very soon thereafter

If they are, they're not letting out the information.

I like them both, but I've been a fan of El Tesoro for a long time, so I probably drink a little more of that.

@longislandloutequila7208 ohh cool. Thanks for the feed back Lou, I appreciate that. So, at the end of the day I can't go wrong with either choice. Sounds good to me.

Hey bud, I'm in Northport. I don't have a store, that's my house Hahaha

Thanks, yeah I'd say pretty much so.. maybe a hair under

That's a great question, because I had gotten the first batch through my friends restaurant, and I have not seen this on the shelves in New York. The only way I would think, at this time, is Total Wine in Westbury and if they don't have it, then I would order online, like I mentioned in the review

@@longislandloutequila7208 on a side note, I think it’s pretty funny how you’re not a fan of don julio but you like this tequila. It’s in the same family so I would assume it would be a similar taste?. I’m very curious to try Lalo.

And I’m writing this as I’m sipping my Don Julio 1942 lol

Well champagne yeast has been used for a very long time. Vivanco has been using it on almost all their products at Nom 1414, one of the best distilleries

Hey there! Thanks for your great content. It’s fun and interesting to watch you videos. My concern with champagne yeast is that it doesn’t mean it makes products better in any way. Yeast produces CO2 and alcohol, nothing else. Based on this, my thesis is that the type of yeast you use doesn’t influence the final profile of the drink. Doesn’t matter if you take yeast from the surface of an unknown planet and use it. It will do exactly the same as any other yeast. The fact that people believe champagne yeast automatically means better product (for me personally) is nonsense.

Absolutely correct it doesn't mean that it makes it better at all. Many people believe it makes it more fruity, but either way they must have their reason. And thanks a lot for watching, I appreciate it

Yes for reviews. I like to do good and bad reviews so people know what's out there. It's also for when people come over to do a taste comparison. You have to have the bad stuff to compare to the good stuff to show them the fake stuff

I never heard about it thankfully, as it has one of the lowest ratings I've ever seen on TMM. 1468 can be that way.. it's hit or miss

@@longislandloutequila7208 that is a fair statement
