The top-ranked tequila brand in The Tequila Report's summer 2026 Top 150 brands list is Cascahuín, with a score of 9.9 out of 10. G4 is second at 9.8. Fortaleza is third at 9.7.

Below that, the field tightens fast. Nine brands tie at 9.5. Thirteen tie at 9.1. The distance between the best tequila and the 40th-best tequila is smaller than most people assume. This truly is the golden age for the availability of great tequila.

Every score comes from the same place: 15 members of The Tequila Report reviews panel, scoring independently on a 100-point scale. No brand paid to be included.
