TBH, not great. Its not 100% agave and is a little overpriced for what it is. If you have no other option and just want to make a margarita then go for it, its not AWFUL, but there are many much better tequilas out there for less or equal $$$.

I recomend Eli Jimador or Cazadores as a better place to start that Cuervo.

Ditto. Many bad nights and worse mornings lol. Just the smell makes me queezy.

Patron is actually what you could consider a alienware laptop fo tequilas. Good, but not worth the money,

In sweden, we had a long tradition of only having shitty mixtos available, (mixto is 51% agave and the rest chepest neutral alcohol you can find). But times are changing and you can get some pretty good stuff nowadays!

Imo, Reposados offer more taste and agave then the anejos, who seem to go too far towards other oakmatured brandy. Ofcourse, it depends on the situation as always. But generally speaking.

Almost as important as taste, quality spirits are much less likely to make you sick. Cheap tequila in particular is infamous for making people sick and causing major hangovers. Because the flavor is so unique and the smell is so strong, it's likely to stay with you for a long time. After a couple bad nights with cheap tequilla, you might not even want to be near it anymore.

Please don't say anything that stupid again...

Quality of alcohol and hangover has nothing to do with eachother, only alcohol percentage. Not sure you even know what Hangover is, so let me put it simple:
In reality there is nothing in the world called hangover, because actually you get dehydrated. on average, if you drink 1 liter of beer(which is ~5 %) 1,3 litres of liquid will come out - as everyone know, when you drink you will pee quite a lot.
So there you go, if you knew about what hangover really is, I hope you wouldn't have come up with such a stupid comment.

As I said, it's seems to be rather tricky to get those here, eventhough wikipedia wants to tell me that Germany is the 3rd biggest Tequila market worldwide...

But I'm not much of a Tequila guy anyway, personally I prefer Whiskey... Some friends just had the fucked up idea to go all "cinco de mayo" this weekend. So I wanted to pick up something that's at least better than a bottle of Tequila with a freaking sombrero as cap.

Content other than alcohol percentage matters. It's why you end up with a minor hangover after 2 bottles of great wine compared a killing hangover by drinking the same amount from a carton. Additives, yeast, fermentation process, amount of synthetic components can all make a difference the next morning.
