When he started swearing is where I realized this guys getting drunk lol

[anthonygarcia]

“I would never yuck anybody’s yum.” Best line I’ve heard in a while

[andydrew]

Awesome how he doesn’t come off as pretentious at all. Seems super genuine and friendly but still explains the tastes well

[nicknitrosj]

as someone who’s been in the spirit industry for 17 years… I can honestly say in my opinion that this guy absolutely nailed it…

[ThomasDuffyRE]

André needs his own show, I like how he explains things and is real with his assessment of the different tastes.

[BIGMIKEREC]

I don't even like tequila. Immediate watch for Andre. Bring him on as often as possible; dude is so knowledgeable, yet so humble. I support him every time I see him because he never disappoints.

[derekplayer]

I'm mexican and I love how you study about our history and all the process to make this video.

[grinchoi]

i would love to see him do a blind test of these without knowing the cost or brand

[porgiemiller]

My favorite part of the whole video was watching him get more relaxed after each tequila 😅

[TravelTipsAsia]

For everyone that is looking for the tasting glass he is using, it is the Riedel Vinum Tasting Glass Hollow Stem.

[word]

That car analogy was spot on. I feel like after Andre has a bit of alcohol in him he not only loosens up but also tends to have some thoughtful/aphoristic words.

[JJO]

Andre Mack treats us with eloquent descriptions injected with precise information for each bottle. More please.

[Drivingnord]

Andre! You deserve your own channel! You're the only reason I'm still subbed to BA

[chadbrochill]

It’s very important to have conversations about flavor additives

[jackiii]

We need a whiskey version of this for sure, with some really expensive bottles

[elloco]

The progression of attitudes is what has me 😂😂😂 loved this ! Thank you 🙏🏽

[Schaaschaa]

As he's responsible for all beverages, I'd really love to see him taste different waters some day 😂

[Dontbesosoft]

I like how he starts cussing and letting loose after a few shots, you can tell it’s hitting 😂 cheers

[geedigital]

I see Andre Hueston Mack and I click. Dude is a master at simplifying details in such a unique way without all the BS and fluff. 🤝

[MrHavy]

Should do a Tequila part 2 with additive free brands like Fortaleza, Tequila Ocho, and El Tesoro
