I know this is a wine NG, but the reason I'm mentioning this is because it's a sipping wine (chilled) so I consider it a wine.
Have any of you ever tried Xtabentun?
It's an amazing drink. Technically it's a tequila, but it's best served chilled and sipped from a wine glass (I guess type of glass makes no difference LOL!) It's has a slightly minty flavor with a delicious honey after taste.
My real question is this... do any of you know of any other sipping tequilas?
Thanx!
LES!
I've heard of it.
No, it's not. It's a liqueur made with honey, anise seed, and rum.
Certes. But they won't taste anything like Xtabentun.
Gran Centenario Reposado Gran Centenario Añejo Sauza Tres Generaciones
There are many others, as well. A Google search will turn up reviews.
Tres Generaciones will taste a bit different from many other high end tequilas because of the oak aging it receives. Most Reposados and Añejos are intended for sipping (and priced accordingly). Another producer that's very popular in the US is Patron.

Xtabentun is extemely sweet honey and rum based liquor and has no tequila in it at all so I'm not sure that the OP is actually looking for tequila but actually is looking for sweet dessert liquors.

The only store I've ever found it in was Los Cinco Soles in Cozumel, Mexico. Never really looked here in the States.
Anyway, they sell it in the same section as tequilas. So I just assumed it was a tequila as well.
I feel really stupid for even bringing it up lol.
But yes, I do love nice dessert wines. :)
LES!
