JAJA Tequila earns mixed reviews: it proves reliable for cocktails and approachable to many palates, yet falls short for neat sipping. Reviews praise smooth, clean flavors in Blanco and Añejo, bright branding, and notes of agave, citrus, vanilla, and pepper, but call out harshness or artificial-tasting edges for sipping, perceived mediocrity versus competitors, and polarizing “celebrity tequila” vibes.

Delicious and delightful. A subtle flavor and well designed bottle, perfect for a gift. Highly recommended.

I think at some level there’s not much difference between tequilas (or maybe I’m just unsophisticated). But I thought this was good! Taste doesn’t give me flashbacks to college frat parties, cute packaging, what more could you ask for!

I tried this because it was available as a Thingdrop for a discounted price of $20. It was mildly annoying however that the Thingdrop was actually a gift card for the online store, so after processing the payment for the Thingdrop, I then had to go to the Jaja website and purchase the tequila. Obviously this is because of laws governing the sale of alcohol, but I needed something to write about and that’s all I can think of. It was a pretty unremarkable tequila. Not in a bad way, just nothing that stood out. If I recall, it shipped pretty quickly, so that was a plus. I’m giving it five stars because I don’t have anything bad to say for a $20 bottle of blanco tequila. However, I know the normal price is closer to $50, in which case I think your money could be spent better on a different brand.

Absolutely delighted with JAJA Blanco! This small-batch tequila boasts a consistently smooth and satisfying experience. Its nuanced flavors of cooked agave, green apple, and delicate hints of vanilla are a true treat for the palate. The party truly comes alive with this Blanco - it's undeniably the perfect companion for a good time. The fact that it's crafted from 100% Agave Azul ensures an authentic taste. What's more, its GMO-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly nature, along with its OK Kosher certification, make it an inclusive choice that caters to various preferences. JAJA Blanco is a must-try for anyone seeking a top-notch tequila experience.

Love this tequila! Love the branding too. Was always curious about trying it when I would see it all local shops in the NYC area. Would recommend!

It's a solid tequila, but it's not an AMAZING tequila. Not my favorite to sip on its own, but an above average tequila for mixed drinks!

It's fine. Nothing amazing. Cool branding. Has a very slight artificial taste. This is a tequila for mixed drinks. I drank some straight and it wasn't a great experience. I think there are many other standard tequilas you can find almost anywhere that is better than this. I will happily drink this because I got it with a Thingtesting discount and I won't let it go to waste, but I wouldn't buy it again. This is my first celebrity tequila and it's difficult to take seriously.

smooth and good to mix drinks with!
Liked this tequila and cute bottle! I only used in cocktails, and it was great.

Will repurchase! It took a while to ship (not sure if that is because it was a thingdrop purchase or if they are generally slow) but really enjoyed the taste. Made a good base for cocktails and had a pleasant and smooth taste.

I was very impressed with this tequila. I used it in mixed drinks for a dinner party and it was a hit. The colorful label is pretty fun and visually appealing too.

I am not a tequila drinker, but I thought the JAJA blanco tequila was pretty good. I wish I could have tasted some of the hints of apple and vanilla. It is an enjoyable shot and the bottle is very eye-catching.

BIG DISCLAIMER: I am a very casual tequila drinker. I don't know all the ins and outs of tequila and I'm also not drinking tequila on the rocks. That being said, I also generally do not like tequila. It is probably my least favorite liquor. But this one was very drinkable and I enjoyed it in cocktails. The aftertaste isn't as horrible as most others, and is smooth. I remember hearing about Jaja way back when, knowing that it's started by the people behind F Jerry. It really has blown up since then, and I don't think most people who buy Jaja know about its founders. I think they did a great job of marketing it with the nice graphics and overall colorful aesthetic. I do remember reading an interview from the Coveteur where they very blatantly said that they have no background in the liquor scene, much less tequila specifically, and were inspired by the success of Casamigos for an easy cash grab. I haven't tried 818 and I'm far from a Kardashian stan, but I think this is one of the many interesting examples of a tequila brand owned by white men that get no backlash for being obvious money-making schemes vs the backlash that Kendall Jenner received (which mostly focused on her being white and appropriating). While I do think the criticism was valid, I think she really bore the brunt of it because she is a woman and because of the Kardashian name. Just an aside. Overall a good tequila and liquor in general. Feedback: They also have a very small blurb on their "About Us" page that talks about the eco-friendliness of Jaja. I think it would be nice to expand on this because it seems like a half-assed pandering afterthought.

Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the tequila since I had only known it to be a celeb / social backed liquor. It smells great (not harsh) and I used it in a marg – I don't drink straight liquor so I can't attest to the raw quality but I definitely am happy with the purchase!

The packaging is bright and fun and would make a lovely hostess gift. I enjoyed the taste and the scent of the blanco tequila - easy in a margarita. But for the price point, I might choose something else. I do really want to try their reposado! That's more my style.

Super smooth and tasty tequila - love the brand’s mission and design of their packaging. I have tried to find this in Houston and so far no luck.

I recently had the pleasure of trying JAJA Tequila, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I opened the bottle, I could tell this was going to be a special tequila experience. The aroma alone was captivating, with hints of agave and citrus filling the air. Upon taking my first sip, I was blown away by the smoothness and richness of the tequila. The flavor profile was perfectly balanced, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and a subtle hint of spice. It went down effortlessly, leaving a lingering, satisfying finish. What sets JAJA Tequila apart is not just the exceptional taste, but also the brand's commitment to quality and sustainability. Knowing that the tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, adds to the appreciation of every sip. The dedication to traditional production methods and the use of natural resources make JAJA Tequila a brand I can wholeheartedly support. Furthermore, the packaging is stunning, reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the tequila itself. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the sleek bottle design to the minimalistic labeling, showcases the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and aesthetics. I highly recommend JAJA Tequila to any tequila enthusiast or anyone looking to elevate their drinking experience. It's a premium tequila that delivers on its promise of excellence. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, JAJA Tequila will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. In conclusion, JAJA Tequila has quickly become one of my favorite tequila brands. With its exceptional flavor, commitment to quality, and stylish presentation, it's a tequila worth celebrating. Raise your glass and savor the experience of JAJA Tequila!

Great quality and tasty tequila!
JAJA + Topo + Lime is the move.
So so smooth, and fits perfectly into any cocktail recipe. Would purchase again or gift to friends. I did notice the Thingtesting rate wasn’t any less than buying it from the store though.
