Do tequila awards actually matter? Or are they just marketing hype? In this episode, I break down the truth behind spirit competitions, tequila awards, and the NEW Agavos Awards For years, I’ve questioned the value of most tequila awards—until now. The Agavos Awards 2025 are changing the game with blind tastings, real judges, and transparency that highlights authentic, traditional tequila brands.
In this video, I share:
✅ Why most awards don’t reflect quality tequila
✅ How the Agavos Awards are different
✅ The judging criteria: aroma, flavor, viscosity & value
✅ Best in Show winner: Trujillo Manifesto 56
✅ Why this list actually features my favorite sipping tequilas
