So I'm a big fan of tequila, I mean good tequila, sipping tequila.
I just purchased a few bottles of Jose Cuervo "Reserva de la familia" it's a premium tequila, aged in oak for somewhere around 3 years, then blended with some much older stock. The stuff is awesome.
It got me wondering however, do any of you guys age your own tequila?
I mean I'll still buy my obligatory bottle or three a year of this stuff (I really like it) but I'm wondering if I were to buy some 100% blue agave silver tequilla (silver hardly sees any oak) and sit it in an oak barrel, or better yet, drop some of my oak chips in it and let them age it, if it would be worth the wait.
I know this is a hombrew forum, but I figure it's worth bringing up here.
And now that I've typed this out, I may just go ahead and pick up a bottle of silver and drop some oak chips in it, I've got plenty of them.
If you don't have an answer at least tell me what your favorite tequila is.
Jose Cuerva "Reserva de la familia" is obviously my favorite
