Old vs New El Ultimo Agave Tequila Review | A $25 Budget Tequila Surprise

from Tasting Tequila with Brad · host Bradley Niccum

Old vs New El Ultimo Agave Tequila Review | A $25 Budget Tequila Surprise Today we’re doing something tequila fans love… a dusty bottle comparison. I found an older bottle of El Ultimo Agave Blanco tequila sitting on the shelf at a local liquor store, and right next to it I had the new version produced by master distiller Ileana Partida at NOM 1522 (Casa de Oro Distillery). So the question is simple: Is the older bottle better… or is the new version actually improved? El Ultimo Agave is one of the best budget tequilas you can find around $25, and it’s made by one of the most respected tequila producers in Jalisco. In this side-by-side tasting we compare the old label vs the new release to see if the flavor profile has changed. We break down the nose, palate, and finish of both bottles and talk about what makes this tequila such an incredible value. Expect notes of: • Cooked agave • Earthy minerality • Pepper spice • Celery and grassy notes • Subtle chocolate tones If you enjoy additive-free tequila, budget tequila reviews, or dusty bottle finds, this one is for you. Let me know in the comments: What’s the best dusty bottle you’ve ever found in a liquor store? And as always… Know what you’re drinking. Cheers.
