Customer Reviews

Educational, informative, and very entertaining

This book captures the essence of Tequila from the perspective of making it and drinking it. I found it especially interesting in giving the reader a glimpse into the day to day activities of the tequila business.

Awesome reference guide for all things tequila!

Lance and Sandys adventure in the land of Tequila is not only entertaining but a highly informative read on the growing world of tequila. A must-have reference guide to take you thru the various types available, written by someone who obviously has had a few! I like the tasting pyramid too.

The distillation of tequila as explained by Lance Cutler.

For the tequila lover, this book is worth checking out simply for the explanation of the different ways that tequila is produced, from archaic to ultra modern. The information on the different types of tequila, the different nuances of types, basic information about traveling in the region, and the food of the region are a huge plus.

Excellent research, yet very readable

A well written and entertaining book on tequila, with the inside scoop on the various distilleries and the house "style". Some serious taste testing was done, with detailed descriptions. The only minor disappointment is that he does not actually rate the tequilas.

The only tequila book you will ever need.

Not only is the writing great, and the information complete, but there is a tasting pyramid that breaks down the tasting of tequila into all its difference nuances, and it is amazingly exact. The travel info about Mexico is very good, and the discussion of the process of making tequila is clear and informative. A good read and a great reference.
