If it's aged even longer does the tequila mellow and is it more expensive as the aging period increases?

Just curious.....never was much for tequila but then I've never had any of the good stuff and never will...
Yes, yes and hell yes. An anejo (usually 5-10 years) aged in an oak cask used to age brandy is an entirely different beast that your average tequila. It is most definately designed to be sipped slowly, neat, like a good scotch. I got into these because I like to backpack and wanted something portable that didn't require ice. Despite the fact that I am from the south, I detest bourbon as its too sweet, and scotch is a bit too strong. A good well aged tequila on the other hand is perfect to sip at the end of the day. I even bought one of those old time blue flecked enamel cups, only in a demitass size to drink it from. (It came with a backpacking esspresso maker, basically a metal resevoir with a filter and a brass pipe, like a still, that put it into the little metal cup ove a single burner camp stove. I got it just to annoy the hell out of a friend I was going on a week long backpacking trip with who thought I was a coffe snob {he was right}. I knew it would drive him bat shit crazy. The darn thing actually works though and is the best $15 I ever spent at REI.)

Interesting... I may have to get one of those just in case the SHTF. That way I can still make my own white lightening out in the woods.

For the tequila folks:  http://www.tequila.net/forum/
Looks like I've found something to distract me from DRTV. ;D

Beer:

Yuengling Lager (America's oldest brewery) Usually the only thing I drink.

Went to a friends 40th B-day party last night. I don't know what the drink was called but it was:

Crown Royal
Peach Schnapps
splash of cranberry

Tasted like koolaid (not the glock kind) It was an ugly night and even uglier morning, but they went down smoooooooth. ;D

I am pretty simple.
1) Miller light beer, every day.
2) Red stripe for special occasions.
3) Bacardi Special Select Dark rum, sweet and smooth, not expensive, if you mix it, you usually won't taste it , unless you  go real heavy.
4) El Jimador, reposado, nice tequila, and not top drawer price.

As far as mixed drinks, Marqueritas are a favorite, top drawer on the rocks, of course, Tequila, fresh lime juice and grand Marnier. And a good salt rim.

Bloody Mary, oh hell yes, with the spicy, home made mix, left to marinate at least 24 hrs, to let the peppers and garlic infuse. Probably Tanqueray, instead of Vodka.

for those that like true rotgut tequila;
mescal is tequila that's been brewed outside of tequila mexico. it's the same drink but only that which is brewed in tequila can be called tequila, you know like champaigne is called espumante if it's from elsewhere. either way the stuff is pure evil...  :P

When it comes out 195 proof... 4 ounces at a time will do. HAHAHAHAHA!

I have to know now, what is the infamous "Hazaritas" people are talking about?

If I remember right, mescal is just "tequila" made with agave instead of blue agave... Which in Mexico, only blue agave made tequila can really be called Tequila.

Was weened on Little Kings, Jim Beam and Clear Springs or Everclear 190.

Now that I have matured I prefer:
Beer: Pete's Wicked Brew Rasberry, Pabst Blue Ribbon and my domestic mainstay Coor's Light.
Foreign would be Guinness, Bass Pale Ale for a Black and Tan, Boddington's English Pub Ale and the occasional Corona or Dos Equis if I am in Mexico.

Tequila: Don't touch the stuff. Seen too many people as a former LEO to see that you become two people drinking that and that is either a stripper or a fighter. Of the two, they can go back and forth at a moments notice. Normally, if the eyes go black like a shark you had better be ready to fight.  ;D

Vodka: Grey Goose

Whiskey: Crown Royal on the rocks. If there is some extra money hanging around, Crown Royal Extra Rare. Almost $200 a bottle but gentleman, it is nectar of the God's.
