| NOM: 1107-I Distillery: Tequila El Viejito, S.A. de C.V. Importer: n/a (Probably McCormick Distilling Co.) Area: Highlands Aged: At Least 2 Months Barrel Type: American White Oak Barrels Bottle Size: 750 Bottle Number: n/a Number of Distillations: 2 Alcohol Percentage: 40%/80 Proof Price: $20 Current Website: n/a |
My Tasting Notes: n/a
Info on the Back of the Bottle: n/a
Other Info: I decided to put this empty on the website for informational and picture
purposes. I doubt I will have a full one because they are extremely hard to find full. If
I do get a full one I will be taking this empty off the site.
I bought this bottle off of Ebay for about $10 plus shipping and when I received it the
bottle had a price tag from the Goodwill Store on the bottom for $1.99. I would not
have guessed that they sold empty bottles but thought it was funny so I left it on
there. I always love a good story and goes to show the markup on some of these
bottles. Even knowing they got it for $1.99 I still would have paid $10 plus shipping for
it.
Here is some more info on this brand:
"This Tequila is mainly associated with Hussong's Cantina, the infamous Ensenada
nightclub frequented by southern Californians and spring breakers. Naming Tequila
after popular night spots doesn't appear all that unusual. Sammy Hagar thought it was
a good idea and introduced the popular Cabo Wabo line of Tequilas, named after his
club in Cabo San Lucas. [...]
When I was just beginning to learn about good tequila I saw this product proudly
labeled as "99% agave". One had to wonder what the other 1% consisted of and why
on earth wouldn't the producer just omit this paltry ingredient and have a pure 100%
agave tequila. It's obvious to me now that because Mexican regulations required 100%
agave tequila to be bottled in Mexico that this was a somewhat sneaky way of
McCormick Distilling to have quality tequila shipped to the USA in bulk and bottle it at
their own facility in Missouri. I'm not sure if the CRT put a stop to this practice or if
McCormick Distilling was motivated by the ever increasing knowledge and popularity of
100% products to change and start marketing Hussong's as 100%." -Pocotequila.com
