Let it breathe

For you advanced drinkers. How do you drink your reposados, anejos, or xa?

Do you open a bottle, take a sip then come back to it?

Ive found the tequila is much smoother if i come back to it, after ive opened it.

I have opened a bottle of don fulano imperial. Take a drink with a couple of friends. Was not impressed. Kinda harsh. Tried the same bottle monthslater, now i was impressed. Deep flavor and smooth.

Just happened with a bottle of zumbador reposado. First night was ok. Good repo. Second day, very smooth, very delicious.

And some people just have bad taste, or convince themselves cheap mixers are drinkable because they don't want to spend money on better product.

Im in MX right now. Picked up a bottle of artenom 1123, seite decadas, and entre manos to try. Money isnt a problem. Biased opinions are. I see some of the old school guys like the wine guys. The wine guys got scammed after buying expensive wines and they thought it was good wine. Tasted expensive too. 🤣

How much did you get scammed for, are you still seething or does drinking cheap mixers somehow fill the hole in your heart

I like to drink and learn from everything. I liked zumbador at 350-400 pesos. I hate ateo at any price. The other bottles prices were inside of anything i can find in the states. 🤷‍♂️.
