Bulk tequila - where to buy? Empty Bulk tequila - where to buy?

Post by papa chango Sun Dec 01, 2013 2:55 pm

The last time I helped with a fiesta de quinceañera was about 1 year ago. I drove to the town of Tequila we bought tequila in a 5 gallon plastic bottle (approximately).  

The tequila we got turned out to be pretty good but I'm wondering if any of you have a favorite place you go to get bulk tequila. There is another fiesta de quinceañera coming up on December 21st and I'm expected to buy the tequila for the approximately 300 guests.

I'm looking for a good low cost tequila in bulk. If you have any ideas that could help me out with this, please let me know and thank you very much.

Asi que tu vas a ser el Padrino del Tequila,LOL!!
One bottle per table should do,you might look at Tequila El Compadre,100 percent agave,48 pesos a bottle at Walmart,it's better than a lot of the tequila sold in bulk in Tequila IMO.In my experience nobody expects to be served good sipping tequila at Quinceañeras,it all gets mixed with squirt anyway.

If you are trying to avoid another drive to Tequila, a couple of suggestions:

1) Along the highway between Ocotlan and Jamay, there are numerous stands & shops selling tequila in the large economy size.
2) In Tlaquepaque, I can think of three tequila stores (one on Independencia across from the gazebo and two on Juarez) that sell tequila in large plastic jugs but not five gallon that I have seen.  However, they may be able to special order for you?
3) Maybe Paz would be able to special order large jugs?

I'd check with Paz before driving anywhere.

Paz gives a nice case discount of about 8%. El Compadre is actually a Mescal because it is not made in Jalisco. It is surprisingly smooth (for the price) but it doesn't have much flavor. The cheaper tequilas will be diluted with cane alcohol, which does effect the flavor and a little bit harsher.

Since El Compadre is distilled in Oaxaca, it cannot be called a Tequila but it isn't a Mescal either. Technically, it is labeled as 100% Distilled Agave Reposado:

My mistake,I didn't look closely at the label,nowhere does it say it's tequila or mescal ,but it is pretty smooth .

Compadre at Bodega also but they are often out. Found a small local liquor store for 52 pesos and a 3/4 litro size for about 73
