How to shop the tequila aisle at Spec's

  1. Look for "100% de agave" on the label. Anything without it is a mixto, which only needs 51% agave sugar.
  2. Find the NOM number. It identifies the distillery that made the tequila. Don Londrés is NOM 1518, in Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco.
  3. Pick the category for the job. Blanco for margaritas and Palomas, reposado for sipping, añejo for whiskey drinkers.
  4. Use the price as a filter, not a verdict. Well made 100% agave blancos usually run $30 to $60. Paying more often buys packaging or a famous name.
  5. Read the shopper reviews on the product page and check which nearby store has it in stock before you drive.
