Do tequila awards actually matter? Or are they just marketing hype? In this episode, I break down the truth behind spirit competitions, tequila awards, and the NEW Agavos Awards For years, I’ve questioned the value of most tequila awards—until now.

In this video, I share:

✅ Why most awards don’t reflect quality tequila

✅ Best in Show winner: Trujillo Manifesto 56

✅ Why this list actually features my favorite sipping tequilas
