Tequila Reviewers
All reviews on The Tequila Report are created by this team.
Of course, there is no “right” answer when reviewing something as varied, amazing, and subjective as tequila.
You may disagree with the scores and opinions of one (or all) of our reviewers. And that’s okay! We’re not here to convince, we’re here to advise.
For brands interested in submitting a sample bottle for review, please visit our Contact page and let us know.

My passion for agave spirits goes deeper than just appreciation—it’s a journey.
I will always be a student but even as a student I find that I can share my honest reviews and tasting experiences, hoping to help you connect with each pour on a more personal level. Whether it’s a new discovery or a familiar favorite, every sip tells a story worth sharing.
