Top 10 award-winning Tequilas and mezcals

Consumer interest in agave spirits is surging thanks to the power of celebrity and a boom in at-home cocktails. We present the Tequilas and mezcals that scored top medals in our latest blind tasting.

Añejo Tequilas and a joven mezcal secured the top accolades in our taste test

The Spirits Business held its annual Tequila & Mezcal Masters last month, which was hosted in a virtual format for the first time due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The competition was judged over Zoom by Melita Kiely, editor of The Spirits Business, and Eduardo Gomez, founder of Tequila Fest and director of mexgrocer.uk. Each entry maintained its anonymity thanks to Wine Sorted, which decanted and shipped each bottling.

Multiple categories were judged in the competition, including ultra‐premium añejos, super-premium reposados and joven mezcals.

We present 10 Tequila and mezcal bottlings that secured Master and Gold medals during the blind tasting, along with tasting notes and prices.
