So this brand I admittedly have a bit of a soft spot for!

This brand is actually partly owned by a person who helped me get some quality bottles when I was just getting started with TLA.

The owners are also from Chicago and at least one still lives here while owning and operating other Chicago based businesses.

So needless to say…

I want to see this brand succeed!

What brand am I talking about you ask?

Jon Basil tequila.

Let’s get into ranking their blanco expression!

Recommended Ways To Enjoy

So this is an extremely versatile tequila.

I personally enjoy it in a multitude of fashions that included neat for the majority of the pours.

On the rocks, I felt like the water provided a little more balance and calmed down the spice.

In a paloma and margarita it was truly delicious.

Smooth enough to take shots with but I’d prefer it more in cocktails with neat or on the rocks being my personal favorite.

Ranking- Table Bottle

As I stated above, this is an extremely versatile bottle and great for a multitude of occasions.

That in itself makes it a table bottle.

Now this is a regional ranking for the Chicago area.

It’s readily available at a multitude of locations throughout the city and hopefully will be the same for other major areas soon.

Then when you throw in the fact that it’s $36.99 for a bottle…

There you have it.

If you’re here in The Chi, make sure to grab you a bottle on the way to the function!

Taste Category- Citrus Bomb

This blanco is packed with citrus!

You get that citrus fruit vest from start to finish in every sip.

The black pepper shines bright in this expression as well.

Fresh agave and delicious fresh water hold their own throughout but aren’t as pronounced as the fore mentioned flavors.

I do get a slight agave sweetness after about 4 or 5 sips that add a beautiful complexity to the overall flavor profile.

I truly enjoyed this blanco and highly encourage everyone else to pick up a bottle to enjoy it with the rest of us Jon Basil Tequila Fans!
