Why The Agave Report?
We started this because too many tequila rankings are sponsored placements dressed up as editorial. We don't take brand deals, we don't accept free product in exchange for coverage, and we don't adjust scores based on advertising relationships.
Every bottle on this site has been tasted, researched, and evaluated on its merits. Production methods matter. Agave maturity matters. What goes into the still, and what doesn't, matters. That's the lens we use for everything.
