Barrafish Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) I want to buy bottles of good quality tequila in Pattaya. Patron, Don Julio, Herradura, Corralejo, Cabo,4 Amigos, Olmeca etc or even Sauza, Cuervo, not the el Toro, Camino stuff. If anyone out there can help me it would be appreciated. Also it would be nice to know the price and size. Thanks Barrafish Edited June 26, 2014 by Barrafish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 You mean the bottles with the little red sombreros aren't any good? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 They have little red sombreros? Oy, chihuahua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Never heard of any of that stuff...it's Sierra Gold for me! There's a high-end liquor store on Central Road between Foodland and Second Road. Also Foodland and Best Market have extensive booze sections so you might try them. Also there's a booze wholesaler next to Best so you could pop-in there. Finally, maybe the liquor department of the Gourmet Market in the basement of Central Beach Mall may have what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSixpack Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 There's a high-end liquor store on Central Road between Foodland and Second Road. LOL. That covers quite a distance. Going towards Sukhumvit, it's on the left between Big C and Foodland. OP, you might also take a look at the selection in Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartender100 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just about every Farang supermarket sells a range of Tequila from high to low, where have you looked so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollarman Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Foodmart in Jomtien got Patron at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I find Best at the dolphin roundabout have a good wide selection of booze, including tequila, from cheap plonk made in Vietnam to some very good (but expensive) authentic Mexican brands, including a couple of different types of Patron.

Barrafish Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks members for your replies. I was in Pattaya from Saturday till yesterday (Monday) and returned to Udon Thani. For your info, I found these shops sell good tequila and rum. Best supermarket near dolphin roundabout, Patron teq, Campo Azul teq, Milagro teq, Sierra Antiguo teq, and a good selection of scotch whisky,bourbon and a lot of other brands. Villa market, 2nd road, Corralejo teq, Sierra antiguo teq. Central festival just up from Villa on 2nd road, basement has 1800 teq and a good range of whisky, rums and other high end brands. I did not get to the high end shop between Foodland and 2nd road. Thanks for your help members, Barrafish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 At the crossroads on Central road. Opposite Tops supermarket. All sorts of alcohol there. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand I think that's another branch of Best Supermarket so probably same brands...but you're right, it's their booze only outlet and has allot of stuff and all us residents forget to mention it earlier. Good to hear the op found what he needs and is now well sloshed for Issan life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MunkyBoogar Posted August 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2017 I mainly like aged (reposado, anejo,, extra anejo) Agave for sipping and blanco for mixers. Most places carry the bottom of the barrel brands/labels, labels that are not 100% blue agave, or stuff that should not be labeled as Tequila. Patron is ok if you can not find a different (better) Tequila. Why do I say this? Too many people fell for Patron's marketing campaign because they flooded the clubs and other places with their prduct. There are quite a few Tequilas that taste better than Patron yet costs 50~75% less. If you want to enjoy your agave, check for "made from 100% Blue Agave" on the label and the CRT number that indicates that it is a certified Tequila. Better Tequilas are always 100% Blue agave. Only 51% Blue Agave plus other sugars is required to be certified as Tequila but the harvested Blue Agave plant can only be from the Tequila producing region of Mexico. Everything else made with Agave s Mezcal. Tequila is a Mezcal but Mezcal is not a Tequila. Here is a pic of GOOD Tequila: Don Julio Anejo, KAH, Casa Noble, El Charro, Tres Generaciones, Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia, Herradura Suprema, Don Julio Real, Don Julio 1942, Aha Toro Extra Anejo, EL Tesoro Paramisimo, Porfidio Extra Anejo, Frida Kahlo Anejo........ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Nice collection. I applaud your tastes and insights. And, I thank you for sharing. Personally, I find the KAH Silver to have the best bouquet of any Silver and, I have tried dozens. I also feel that, if you want to taste the Agave fruit rather than the oak tannins-tequilla-BLEND, then the Silver alone, affords that opportunity whereas, the Anejo and, even Reposado are a different drink, due to the blending of essences. That's not to say that I don't love them, but just that I am promoting the virtues of the Silver that may not have occurred to you. Once again. Thank you.

MunkyBoogar Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 My favorite silvers are Tres Generaciones, KAH, Fortaleza, Deleon and Don Julio. I have a little bit of everything from Joven to Extra Anejo. I even have a few bottles of Mezcal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empireboy Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Nice! Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia is probably the nicest I have ever tried. I was in a great Tequilla Bar in Mexico city and asked the Owner to line up what he considered to be, six shots of his best Tequilla. After 'Blind-tasting' them all, I chose the Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia. Haven't been able to find it in Pattaya as yet. My favourite accessible Tequila is probably KAH.

empireboy Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I bought it at Foodland in Jomtien. Went back the other day to buy another but there were no more. Not sure when they might have it again. They did have Milagro Silver, Reposado and, Anejo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MunkyBoogar Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Milagro is decent juice! Not as smooth as KAH but still very good. Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia is definitely one of my favorites but my top extra anejo choices are Don Julio Real, Don Julio 1942, and KAH Extra Anejo.

empireboy Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The bottle helps the enjoyment but yes, KAH tastes and smells much better. And, considering the price difference, represents amazing value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
