-8%You want tequila that plays nice, not one that fights you on the way down. Camino Real Gold is the mellow one. Soft blue-agave, a gentle bittersweet kiss of oak, and that warm golden colour that makes a tray of shots look the part. Pour it when the night's just getting going, the nyama choma's on the grill, and nobody wants a lecture. Just a good time, delivered to your door whenever you decide it's go time.
Smell it first and you get that easy blue-agave note, a touch of sweet cane and caramel, nothing sharp or harsh poking at your nose. On the tongue it's mild and a little sweet, the agave riding alongside a light bittersweet hum from its time in oak. That's where the golden amber comes from, by the way, not from years of ageing but from the wood seasoning. The finish is short and clean, gentle enough to sip and easygoing enough to shoot. This is approachable tequila, the kind you reach for when you want flavour without the fire.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This is the real deal from Mexico, made from Weber blue agave, the same spiky plant behind every proper tequila, grown in the highlands of Jalisco. Those agave fields sit up around 2,000 metres above sea level, and that high-altitude growing is part of what gives Camino Real its character. The name itself nods to that high road. It's a long-standing everyday Mexican label rather than a fancy sipping bottle, which is exactly why it's such a friendly pour for a crowd.
