You haven’t lived until you’ve tasted Suerte Tequila. Carefully crafted to perfection, they top our list of great tequilas. Suerte is made the old-fashioned way with time-honored, centuries-old methods. Created with only pure spring water from Atotonilco El Alto in the pristine highlands of Jalisco, MX, Suerte is among only 2% of tequila brands with a dedicated distillery. Pedro Hernandez Barba, Suerte’s Master Distiller, believes you can make tequila fast or you can make it right. So each small batch is slow roasted, double distilled and Tahona-crushed, using a large 3 ton stone wheel to separate the sweet agave juice from the pulp. 

These tequilas are truly ‘crushed to perfection’. In Suerte’s hands, the noble agave is raised to elysian heights:

Suerte Blanco, aged in stainless steel, is fresh and herbal with a citrus aroma and a subtle sweetness. This tequila has an incredibly smooth finish. MSRP: $36.99 

Suerte Reposado sings of butterscotch and subtle plum with oaky notes, the result of aging in oak barrels for seven months. 100% hand- picked Blue Weber agaves only go into this tequila, They are slow-roasted in a brick oven for 56 hours to yield aromas of brown sugar, vanilla, agave, and crème brûlée with flavors of graham cracker, baking spices and vanilla. MSRP $41.99 

Suerte Añejo is aged twice as long as the industry standard to produce a buttery, complex and full-bodied flavor with oaky caramel notes, hints of brown sugar, berry, mint and subtle vanilla. The fruitiness showed some faint dark stewed fruits that went well with the natural agave sweetness. MSRP $57.99 

Suerte Still Strength 104 proof is produced in limited quantities at 52% ABV. This is the taste that’s the absolute essence of Blue Weber Agave with a nice roast, subtle sweetness, ripe cherry, tobacco and an excellent mouth feel. Aromas of wet grass and the iron rich soil of the highlands of Jalisco. This is a vibrant and crisp agave tequila highly prized by aficionados. $69.99 a bottle.

Suerte Extra Añejo wears the crown of Suerte’s tequilas, a limited edition that elevates taste and power to its highest form. This heavenly elixir is double-distilled and aged extensively for 7-plus years in American white oak barrels that produces a silky, golden hue and highly-complex flavors of ripe cherry, vanilla, apricot and cinnamon. Round and balanced. We enjoy it neat or on the rocks. $129.99 a bottle. Visit drinksuerte.com
