How we perform our reviews

At Real Tequila, transparency isn’t just a value—it’s our foundation. We accept no products, sponsorships, or advertising dollars in exchange for reviews. Every bottle evaluated by our tasting panel is purchased outright, ensuring our opinions remain unbiased and authentic.


Our panel brings together every perspective—from the casual tequila enthusiast to the seasoned connoisseur and certified Tequila Sommelier. For consistency and fairness, we conduct in‑depth reviews exclusively on each brand’s Blanco expression, tasting the tequila in its purest form—exactly as the distiller intended.


Whether you’re a lifelong aficionado or just beginning your tequila journey, our experienced team is here to guide you toward exceptional discoveries and elevate your tasting experience. Join us for curated events, engaging tastings, and special promotions that celebrate the rich traditions of agave spirits.


Here’s to authenticity, craftsmanship, and great taste—cheers from Real Tequila!

Make sure to visit this page frequently.

At Real Tequila,  we explore and celebrate Mexico’s premium tequilas. Given the vast  number of expressions available, we ask for your patience as our panel  carefully evaluates each submission.
