Tequila is the type of drink that gets a bad reputation because of the company she keeps. She’s been known to hang around dives and beach joints, cozy up to wayward party girls and keep late night company of a questionable sort. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some super elite tequilas riding top-shelves, however. Here is a look at three elegant tequilas that will bring a bit of class and style to your next cocktail.

DeLeon

Presented in a classic, monogrammed square bottle with a bold round stopper, this is tequila for masculine offices or man caves. The amber tone of the liquid is almost like a fine brandy and the bold taste includes hints of butterscotch, cherry and high notes of pure agave. The tequila is known for quality, natural ingredients and a pure, twice distilled taste.

Riazul

A quick look at a bottle of Riazul Tequila and you might mistake it for high-end cologne or perfume. Instead, the bottle delivers a different type of fragrant bouquet and the long-lasting taste boasts of cinnamon, banana, agave, and almond. Enthusiasts recommend that you enjoy this quality spirit neat or on the rocks to best savor the taste experience.

Kah Tequila

Possibly a king among tequilas, Kah “Day of the Dead” Tequila presents a haunting presentation from the bottle through the last sip. The skull-designed bottle brings a bit of voodoo mystery to your drinking experience. You can even get the bottle in a crystal-studded edition, making it a center piece for your home bar. The spirit itself delivers a smooth texture that is heightened by pepper and spice. The taste also combines vanilla, honey and caramel for a sweet finish.

‘Sexy Back’ 901 Tequila

Artist turned Distiller; Justin Timberlake has created his own tequila brand 901 Tequila. While he may be a young artist his thirst is not. Justin Timberlake has revived a 60 year-old tequila recipe to create the worlds first ultra premium, triple distilled hand crafted tequila.  His thirst for something special goes beyond tequila. It’s an approach to living your life. Look for the next adventure, create better times and stay ahead of the curve.

Blue Nectar® Tequila

A good tequila requires a connoisseur’s eye. A great tequila, an artist’s touch. Blue Nectar® Tequila began with a simple, driving passion to create small-batch artisan tequila with flavors uniquely their own, yet universally renowned. Blue Nectar Tequila starts with our Maestro Jimadors, who patiently walk the blue agave fields of Jalisco, Mexico, hand selecting each plant that will be cooked and pressed to release the tantalizing juices held within and continues with our Maestro Tequilero overseeing the crafting of the three 100% blue agave expressions; Silver, Reposado and Special Reserve

Teach yourself some new tequila tricks by enjoying these super elite spirits slowly over ice. Instead of knocking back shots, sip them near a fire on a cool evening and try to pick out each and every flavor. You can help rehabilitate the name of this fine spirit by keeping it better company than it may be used to.
