What brand tequilla is 100 percent tequila?

Answer 1

There are many. Patron, Don Julio, Chinaco, Tres Generaciones, Riserva de la Familia, Cabo Wabo, Chimayo, Chaya, Las Chamucos, Herradura, Don Fulano, Asombroso....the list goes on and on and on.

Answer 2

I would imagine all tequilla is 100% tequilla. I think a better question would be which brands of tequilla are made from 100% Agave. Typically the cheaper tequillas (7.5 ml bottles cheaper than $20) are made with higher concentrations of sugar and not 100% Agave.

Answer 3

There is no sugar added to tequila, it is made purely from a MASH of roasted blue maguey agave pinas[hearts].

Mezcal on the other hand can have up to 40% other ingredients including sugars, and can be made from a few different maguey agaves.

As for better it is purely a matter of one's taste. I've had good mezcals, and I've had bad tequilas. Monte Alban's is a mezcal that I like among others. Among tequilas I prefer Chinaco, and do not like Jose Cuervo or Patron, two I think that have a following only because of names and personalities associated with them.

Sauza has a decent reposado. Vida is another fairly good tequila.

For a very good tequila [or mezcal] you will pay probably about $60 a bottle, but I had a bad experience with a bottle that cost me $80. Price doesn't denote quality.

Again, everyone's tastes differ, what I like you may not, what you like others won't, it's the way it is. Anyone who's had a bad experience with tequila or mezcal will tell you they don't like it, but given different brands might change their minds.
