What better place than the swanky new Esperanza Cocina de la Playa restaurant in Manhattan Beach to host a tequila tasting of MICO tequila?
Our favorite in the tasting — the Mico Tequila Reposado — is aged in American Oak whiskey barrels then finished in Napa Valley Cabernet barrels.
Reposado, blanco, anejo and extra anejo Mico tequila tasting.
All of the Mico double-distilled small batch tequilas were so good they were really made for sipping (though they did make a superb skinny margarita as well.)
While the tequila would pretty much go with anything, it was perfect with Esperanza’s modern take on Mexican cuisine with a seafood flair.
It just replaced Patron as our favorite tequila.
