1800 is pretty good for an inexpensive tequila.
Cuervo > Sauza (especially Jose Cuervo 1800)
Jose Cuervo 1800 reposado is the baseline tequila for me. I wont by anything lower than that. Sauza I never buy because I have yet to have any of their tequila that didn't taste like ass (other than their Tres Generaciones label). I have heard good things about Sauza Hornitos but the rest of the Sauza brand is so bad I still haven't tried it.
Cabo Wabo > Don Julio > Herradura > Patron > Tres Generaciones > El Jimador > Gran Centenario > Jose Cuervo Tradicional > Jose Cuervo 1800 Anejo > Jose Cuervo 1800 reposado > Jose Cuervo (regular) > dog shit > Sauza
That's my order. There are some exceptions to the rule...especially in the higher brands. For example Herradura Seleccion Suprema is my favorite tequila even tho Herradura is my third favorite tequila brand (but I haven't had Don Julio REAL, that could surpass Herradura Seleccion Suprema).
Just my opinion. Discuss.
