According to the Distilled Spirits Council, Americans purchased 17.2 million 9-liter cases of tequila in 2017, and exports from Mexico to the U.S. increased nearly 200 percent in the last 10 years. Ultra-high-end brands like Patrón and Casa Noble are leading this growth — some offering bottles priced in the thousands — but there are plenty of affordable alternatives that rival even the most luxury brands.

VinePair tasted more than 60 tequila brands to sort out the good, the great, the great-for-the-price, and beyond. These are the best tequilas under $100. To see the full list, including the best tequilas under $25 and $50, click here.

AVION AÑEJO

With an aroma first reminiscent of vanilla milk, followed by lavender and lemongrass, Avion Añejo has a bright, lifting quality. Whereas other añejos lean hot or peppery, this one offers rich flavors of vanilla and oak, with a lip-smacking finish. Average price: $50.

PATRÓN REPOSADO

Love Patrón? Ditch the Silver for the Reposado. For just a few extra dollars, you add notes of vanilla and oak, a body that’s lighter and silkier than most, and lush, fruity flavors with hints of white pepper. Average price: $52.

CASAMIGOS AÑEJO

If there were a crushable añejo, this would be it. For other labels in the Casamigos portfolio, a lot of what you’re paying for is a name (specifically, George Clooney). The añejo is worth the intermediate price tag. Bright gold in the glass, this tequila has aromas of ginger, orange, and tropical fruit. It has a full, creamy texture, not too much heat or spice. Average price: $53.

DON JULIO 70 AÑEJO CLARO TEQUILA

A blanco-añejo hybrid, this spirit is aged 18 months in American white oak casks, then charcoal-filtered to remove its color. It pours crystal clear, but has oaky aromas of butter cookie and warm sugar. Lightly spicy on the palate, with notes of dried apricot and vanilla, this bottle is perfect for fancy poolside sipping. Average price: $58.

PASOTE AÑEJO

Pasote Añejo is light in color and body, with an easy-drinking quality. Vanilla cupcake aromas lead to sweet but not saccharine flavors, followed by a tingling, hot-sauce-like heat and a lingering, oaky finish. Average price: $58.

CORAZON SINGLE ESTATE EXTRA AÑEJO

Agave, maple syrup, and oak aromas give way to bright orange and tangerine notes. Fruity flavors are balanced by a tingly heat on the finish of this oily-gold añejo tequila. Average price: $72.

CORAZON BUFFALO TRACE OLD 22 AÑEJO

This is a whiskey lover’s tequila. It’s aged at least 22 months in barrels that once held Buffalo Trace whiskey, and it has notes of vanilla, oak, and bread, followed by a creamy finish. Its yellow-green hue reminded some of our tasters of Sauvignon Blanc, and it is similarly silky and acidic. Average price: $89.
