Top Tequila for CocktailsThis week, we bring you the Ultimate Beverage Challenge top-ranking tequilas for tequila cocktails. Judges used classic tequila recipes to compare the various entered tequilas, ultimately choosing one Chairman's Trophy-winning tequila for each of the three cocktails made. Read on for the best of each category.
For more challenge winners, check out our full UBC series. Interested in learning more about the judging? See the competition website for a complete list of results.
and where's the Patron on the list? Yet another category that is lacking some quality spirirts.

Patton is over rated. Mostly marketing hype. Most high end establishments in Mexico do not even carry Patron.

patron is very good along with avion tequila which won a dbl gold at the San Francisco tasting.A dbl gold is when all 10 judges pick the product first.
Picked up both at the Party Source for under 40$.

Ok, so there are 100's of great Tequillas out there (been through many), in the cases of at least 70 percent of the bars I've been in ,Patron is by far best. Marketing hype wears off eventually and Patrons been out there for a good bit now and still garners a 6 dollar per shot tag, and even honest bartenders will still lead you to it.

The Olmeca website says that regular Olmeca blanco, as pictured, is a mixto, that the Olmeca Altos is the 100%. Which one is the winner?

Hi Qorki! This list includes mixtos, so the blanco (as pictured) is the winner. Hope this helps!

But the description is "Olmeca Plata, 100% Agave Tequila Mexico, 40%, 95pts", so if it's a mixto then the 100% Agave is an error, and if it's 100% agave then the photo of the bottle is in error. Sorry to nitpick but it's so hard to find this tequila, different stores carry only one version or the other (most carry neither)!
