My Wife Chose THIS Over Fortaleza Winter Blend 2025?!

I Tried Pink Red Bull With Tequila… Big Mistake.

Pink Red Bull and tequila sounded like a great idea… until I actually tried it. ⚡ In today’s episode of Tequila & Red Bull Cocktail Lab, I mix the Red Bull Pink Edition Wild Berries with Cambio Blanco tequila to see if this berry tequila cocktail combo actually works. Spoiler alert: This one got weird FAST. The Pink Edition features raspberry flavors and herbal verbena notes, and I thought the citrus, agave-forward profile of Cambio Blanco might balance it out perfectly. Yeah… not exactly. This cocktail experiment proves that not every tequila and Red Bull combination is a winner — even when you use a quality additive-free tequila.

Training My Tequila Nose Ep. 3 | Can I Identify Spice & Pepper Blind?

Can you actually identify black pepper and clove completely blind? Welcome back to Episode 3 of Training My Tequila Nose, the tequila sensory training series where I use a professional sommelier aroma kit to improve my ability to identify tequila aromas, tasting notes, and flavor profiles. In this episode, I focus on spice and pepper notes while comparing two very different tequilas: Bramido High Proof Blanco Tierra de Ensueño Reposado Using blind aroma training, I test black pepper and clove completely blind to see if aroma recognition actually changes the way tequila tastes in the glass. This episode dives deeper into: * pepper notes in tequila * barrel spice * aroma recognition * high-proof tequila * reposado tequila * sensory training * palate development * tequila education The more I do this series, the more I realize tequila tasting is not about making up fancy notes — it’s about training your brain to recognize aromas you already know inside a much more complex experience.

Celebrity Tequila… DONE RIGHT? | Tequila Providencia Reposado Review

Most celebrity tequila brands focus on marketing first and tequila second… but Tequila Providencia Reposado might be different. In this review, I break down the production methods, tasting notes, and why this additive-free reposado coming from NOM 1465 in Arandas, Jalisco actually impressed me. Tequila Providencia is co-founded by MLB superstar Mookie Betts along with Rodd Rafieha and Mia, but what really stands out is the commitment to traditional tequila-making techniques and transparency. This reposado is made using 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the Highlands of Jalisco, slow-cooked in stone brick ovens, roller mill extracted, open-air fermented, and double distilled. In this video, we dive into: * Tequila Providencia Reposado review * NOM 1465 production methods * Additive-free tequila discussion * Celebrity tequila vs authentic tequila * Highlands tequila flavor profile * Agave-forward reposado tequila * Interview insights from Rodd and Mia * Why this reposado surprised me Tasting Notes: * Peach * Honey * Cinnamon * Light oak * Clove * Pepper * Light chocolate If you enjoy honest tequila reviews, additive-free tequila content, tequila education, distillery interviews, and deep dives into tequila production methods, make sure to subscribe. #Tequila #Reposado #AdditiveFreeTequila #TequilaReview #TequilaProvidencia #MookieBetts #CelebrityTequila #Agave #TequilaTube #TastingTequilaWithBrad

My First Arroqueño Mezcal… I Finally Get the Hype

Don Amado Arroqueño Mezcal Review | My First Arroqueño Experience Today on Tasting Tequila with Brad, I’m diving into my very first Arroqueño mezcal — the Don Amado Arroqueño. After interviewing Jake Lustig from PM Spirits and hearing him talk about why Arroqueño is one of his favorite agaves, I knew I had to finally explore this category deeper for myself. This traditional mezcal is made by maestro mezcalero Germaín Arellanes Arellanes in San Pablo Apostol, Oaxaca using 100% Arroqueño maguey grown at 4,800 feet elevation. The production process is incredible: earthen pit roasted agaves, pine wood vat fermentation with airborne yeast, and double distillation in ceramic pot stills. In this review, I break down: * Arroqueño agave * Traditional mezcal production * Ceramic pot distillation * Flavor notes and tasting experience * Why mezcal tastes so different from tequila * My honest thoughts as someone still learning mezcal If you enjoy additive-free tequila, traditional agave spirits, mezcal reviews, whiskey, or craft spirits, this is a bottle worth checking out.
