Gran Coramino, a Cristalino Tequilafrom Jose Cuervo backed by Kevin Hart, offers a sweet nose of cream soda and vanilla. Aged in oak barrels and wine casks, it’s filtered for a clear appearance.

- 818 — Eight Reserve (Taste 4) Price: $199.99. Produced at NOM 1607, Grupo Solave, Eight Reserve is the top-shelf expression by 818, the brand most famous for its connections to Kendall Jenner, who is the face of the brand.
- Santo Fino — Tequila Reposado (Taste 2) Price: $46.99. If you asked me to guess where ’70s rockstar Sammy Hagar and terminally bleached culinary mastermind Guy Fieri’s brand would rank in a blind taste test of tequilas, I don’t know that my guess would be so kind.
- Teremana — Tequila Añejo (Taste 1) Price: $39.99. Celebrity tequila brands go one of two routes — either put the celebrity face at the forefront or go the more obscure route and not advertise the celebrity connection.
- Lobos 1707 — Tequila Reposado (Taste 7) Price: $43.99. Lobos 1707 is known best as LeBron James’ brand, but he’s just a major investor in the brand (along with Arnold Schwarzenegger), Lobos 1707 was actually founded by the actor Diego Osorio who also serves as the CCO.
