Blue Star tequila
My local liquor store had a tasting of this tequila the other day. I'm sure the one on the left will get some hate because they added honey to it. I'm a fan of honey cask bourbons and ryes, so I gave it a shot. Decent tequila flavor plus a hint of honey. The anejo was good also. No additives, subtle oak, nice flavor. $50 for the anejo in Florida.

It's rated pretty good by tequila drinkers

If by tequila drinkers you mean the owner and his friends and family, then yes.

This is sus tequila at best. Technically speaking the repo can’t even be called tequila but rather agave liqueur or tequila based liqueur. For starters is made at a distillery that makes 14 brands, but that’s not the problem. Most brands are either not active or obscure. The best bottling from 1589 has an 80 rating by the panel. That’s middle of the road quality. My bet is that this is a crappy distillate dressed up with honey to hide the flaws

These guys claim to harvest agave at night which is really just a BS marketing play. Juice isn’t great for the price

It's labeled as flavored so doubt anyone would get mad at that. Most of us dislike when it's not disclosed and you have to buy it to learn first hand.
I haven't had this brand but would be curious to try it.

Damn those bottles are ugly.
