[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2419020, member: 30902"] Honestly when done properly you should taste little oak and none of the char. The charcoal actually helps to remove contaminates. Personally I like pure, uncomplicated flavors, not too peaty (tastes like mud to me) and not too woody either. If it has Glenn in the name I have yet to find one I don't like, the 12 and 20 year old or older vintages have time to cure and mature compared to the newer/younger versions. In Tequila, white tequila tastes too much like every clear mixed with denatured alcohol to me, Gold has a smoother flavor. I'm not expert on how the different tequilas are formulated or the tricks of distilling and aging, but I know I like Gold Tequila and unfortunately those at the higher end of the price scale that are made for sipping instead of chugging or mixing with sugary things like Margarita Mix. Blended whiskeys of all types seem to me to be made more for those who want a mixed drink vs those who want to sip pure, chilled whiskey or whiskey on the rocks for it's own flavor and that includes tequila. No, I'm not the least bit cultured nor snobby but I learned a little about good Scotch and Tequila from people that put a whole lot more time and effort into understanding what makes a great whiskey vs something you buy for party mixers.
