Almost nothing compares to that shot of tequila to get to the right party high. In fact, that’s why this liquor has always enjoyed a high status over other spirits. And a new one just entered the market. It’s called 1800 Select Silver, the only tequila to be produced by brand ManCave, and this one is partially aged and double-distilled firewater, thereby making it the only 100-proof silver tequila in the world.
Connoisseurs reveal that this tequila is as smooth as it gets, it goes in and stimulates your tastebuds with fruity agave flavor before ending in a soft finish. Again, this one is 25 per cent stronger than other silvers, so you might want to tackle it with care. In this case, one or two drinks will really be too many!

Just in time for Father’s Day, brand Corzo is giving a special offer with its award winning bottles of tequila. The liquor is extremely fine and exclusive with a triple distillation to flaunt. The smooth spirit has been touted to have twice the agave of other tequilas. Imagine how wonderful a personalised label would look sitting atop this splendid thing to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life.
The lables are made of pure metal and have enough space to accommodate up to three lines of text; this means you an write some 18 characters per line. You can order them exclusively online at www.corzo.com/labels/. And all this happens for free. A little more dope on the distillation process. Many extra steps are taken by Corzo. Oene of them is the removal of the agave’s cogollo, which is a laboring process that extracts the center of the Pina containing the plant’s bitter flavors. Again an extended cooking cycle is used to provide greater consistency to the tequila. This is topped with a double fermentation to produce a more complex flavor.
