And hello, spicy margarita. Tequila has made quite the comeback. Invest in a bottle today and unlock new ways to enjoy this heritage spirit. For the Decoded Spirits Awards 2024 we awarded winners across three different categories – Anejo, Blanco, Reposado – so you’re sure to find a favourite.
SOLENTO ORGANIC AÑEJO TEQUILA
It takes time to achieve the smooth buttery flavour profile of Solento Añejo. Left to rest in American Oak Whisky Barrels for 18 months, the result reveals notes of maple with an oaky finish.
“Notes of rich caramel, brown sugar, banana and cinnamon with an oaky finish.”

CASAMIGOS BLANCO TEQUILA
Casamigos Blanco rests for 2 months and is a crisp, clean tequila that finishes smooth with a hint of citrus, vanilla and sweet agave.
“Very good blanco tequila. Very floral nose with well balanced tropical, fruity sweetness, along with vegetal and honey notes.”

DON JULIO REPOSADO TEQUILA
Barrel aged for eight months in American white-oak barrels, this has a golden amber colour and offers a rich, smooth finish. It’s the very essence of a perfect barrel-aged tequila.
“Complex, vegative, earthy and mature, with notes of vanilla and caramel on the nose. A very good tequila.”
Ben Tarlington – Spirits Specialist, Dan Murphy's Prahran
