Finally tried some Centenario

Went to a friends house yesterday for a party stopped by the liquor store and saw a bottle of Centenario Reposado not to bad of a price so tried it. If the Anejo is better it must be as good as 1942 because this stuff was great. I did tell the host (a very good friend turning into but not a great tequila lover) we can drink as much as we want but when I leave if there is any left I'm taking it home. Well we drank about half and had a great time. IRLFAN another peep on this site helped with the consumption maybe he'll let you know what he thought.

I prefer the GC Reposado when it comes right out of the freezer to the Anejo...
But I'm also quite sure I'm in the minority on that.

I like the Reposado but I've never tried the Anejo.....I haven't tried the freezer thing either....I usually just sip it straight from the cupboard. When I get back home I'll try it though!

Just for curiousity sake what's the price difference between the Reposado and the Anejo? I seem to remember paying around 12 bucks or so for the Reposado at WalMart last year.

Terry bought a bottle at walmart and paid around $14 USD for it. I believe it was anejo, but I'll have to ask. Right now he's sleeping in

Centenario anejo isn't quite in the same league as DJ 1942

GC Anejo is $21usd at Sam's club - probably the best price in town

Thanks. I seem to remember reading that it was around 22 bucks. Jan wants to check out the Playa Sams Club so that might be a good time to pick up a couple of bottles to take home.

My tipple of choice is Don Julio reposado, though I'd say the Centenario anejo is comparable. I think the Don Julio 1942 is even better than either of those, but not so much so that it justifies the premium. But then, I'm a peasant.

I'll have to pick up some Centenario in PDC because I paid $50 for the bottle last night. Our resort is closed for the winter so I had to pay retail. It hurts a little but it was worth it.
