Every bottle here has been sourced and photographed and is waiting on the panel. None of them carries a score, because none of them has been tasted blind yet.

We publish the queue because a score you cannot see coming is worth less than one you can. It shows what the desk is buying, which corners of the category we are behind on, and it makes it plain that a bottle reaches the Index by being tasted rather than by being sent to us. Nobody buys a place in this list, and being in it says nothing about how a bottle will score. Bottles move out of the queue in the order the panel gets to them, and once a score is set the bottle gets a full dossier and leaves this page.

Tequila Watch has no commercial relationship with any house listed here. Bottles are bought at retail wherever the market allows it.
