Tequila's cred gets better and better in the U.S. as Mexican distillers and American entrepreneurs keep fine-tuning their products. I just finished judging at the Spirits of Mexico competition in San Diego along with the well-medicated Robert Plotkin; the glamorous Charlotte Voisey, the smiling Junior Merino, the gracious Mario Marquez and other pros including Patrick McCarthy, Larry Auman and Dave Grapshi. We plowed through 111 tequilas, mescals, sotols and tequila-based cordials, and here are the winners of "Best of Category" awards:
Blanco: Corazon and Nocaut
Reposado: Pueblo Viejo
Anejo: Milagro Anejo and Oro Azul
Extra Anejo: Clase Azul Ultra
Sotol: Hacienda de Chihuahua Silver
Mezcal: Forever Oax Reposado
Flavors/Creams: Casa 1921 Cream
