Sparkle Donkey Tequila Review, both silver and reposado in a single video! This is El Burro Esparkalo, a legend in the form of a tequila spirit.
Brandy Snifters from this episode: http://bit.ly/XUCcKR
The Sparkle Donkey Silver has some great tasting notes with a crisp clean agave bite with a nice smooth mouth-feel, flavorful grassy “green” notes / pine. The finish has some subtle citrus action but nothing crazy.
The Sparkle Donkey Reposado brings huge sweet aroma like caramel candy and oak. The tasting notes bring warm oak, caramelized sugars, agave and a pink cotton candy finish. You’ll probably find it hard to lose the cotton candy flavor once you’ve found it.
Sparkle Donkey Silver blows away the flavor profile of the much more expensive patron product.
Costs:
* Sparkle Donkey Silver: $22.95-$24.95
* Sparkle Donkey Reposado: $23.95-$25.95

what do you guys think of Centenario Tequila its actually one of my favorites and have you had a chance to try the hibiscus infuse centenario tequila??
Why is it so expensive?
I can’t wait until mines gets here!
Did Doug get a hair cut
Definitely an interesting name for tequila. A pine quality? In a tequila? That’d be a new one for me. I guess I’ll have to look for a little sample bottle.
4:10. The other thing to consider is the water used in the distilling process. With Scotch, most distilleries are set along the River Spey, which is filtered through heather and peat farther upstream, and flows over granite, creating ideal water conditions for distillation. I imagine water quality greatly impacts the quality of any spirit.
would it be “El Burro Brilloso”?
Any updates about where to find this online? I couldn’t find it at specsonline.
Would really love a updated review. better quality and a dash of your real over the top energy would be largely appreciated.
Love the resposado. Unbelievable. But the name Sparkle Donkey reeks of NW gringo.
where are you guys located?
there are rumors that they add artificial flavors or natural flavors to enhance the flavor of the blanco and repasado
have you heard if this is true ??
So I’m not really a tequila fan (I enjoy vodka and gin mostly) but I am really interested in this silver donkey because of your raving review.. Where would I be able to get my hands on some? I checked drinkupny and they don’t have it and being that I live in Oregon (a controlled state) I can look up what is available in the liquor stores and they don’t have it. Also being that I am not an avid tequila drinker is there a better known brand that you would recommend for someone to get started on?
Love the name of this! Sparkle donkey!
I want this tequila just cause it’s called Sparkle Donkey, it puts a smile on my face lol.
By the way, just fyi, Tres Generaciones is pronounced Hen-air-os-see-own-ace 🙂
”this is actually…” was pronounced like 1000 times
I think it impacts everything. I just mentioned it because Doug was commenting on conditions affecting the agave plant that may impart a specific flavour, but he didn’t touch on water, which I think is worth some consideration.
for sure off topic, what do you think of ciroc vodka?
im currently living in mexico for the past year and half, from experience mezcal is like 5x stronger than tequila…
I’d pick this up but unfortunately I already have a almost full bottle of Jose Cuervo tradicional that’s bigger than most any bottle I have…. So Its going to be awhile before I get my hands on this. ;/
I really like it when there’s a co-host on the show, makes it more enjoyable to watch. 🙂
Where do you stream at, and how can we know when you do?
Great review! I tried this based off of yours and other reviews. OUTSTANDING tequila… By far my favorite silver, and I don’t usually care too much for silvers. Here in WA it is pretty easy to find. I got the repo for $34 and silver for $31 + the 30.5% liquor and sales tax. OUCH! Cheers
awesome I live here as well big read liquor store for the win.
I’ll take that as a ‘yes’.
And by “sparkle,” do you mean “wax?” And by “donkey,” do you mean “ass?” So, did you just ask me if I wax my ass?
Haha, yeah in Spanish whenever you have a “g” before an “e” or an “i” it has the same pronunciation as the “j” sound which in English sounds like the pronunciation of “h.” Such as in “Don Julio.”
god it sucks living in Australia we cant get this kinda good shit here 🙁 and even if we do its gunna cost like 4x as much
i know his beard didnt look as thick
The story of the Sparkle Donkey — or El Burro Esparkalo as he is better known — began as little more than a local anecdote about a humble-yet-noble creature that, in dire times, delivered liquid salvation to many who were in need. But as time passed and word of his strange, lustrous aura and invigorating, ambrosial drink spread, the Sparkle Donkey became a powerful symbol of hope — an iconic and inscrutable totem that resonates to this very day.
do a tequila reposado and anejo episode you did the blanco episode and never did reposado and anejo
sparkle donky… lmao. You just got donkey punched.
it totally does matter, next time stand in the right spot. lol
Ever tried Sauza? What do you think of it?
Derrick & Dough u guys are awesome
Derrick flatten out ur hair
Dough nice hair cut dude
Nice work keep it up guys 🙂
if only it were that simple plus me moving there means i would have to wait another year before i can drink alcohol
Does Doug “sparkle” his “donkey”?
Lol, it took 7 years (5th – 11th) just to get stuff like that stuck in my head, I can only say/understand a few phrases. It’s especially sad ’cause I’m a Hispanic in south Texas.
“Brillo Burro” would be the correct translation, though it doesn’t make any sense at all, trust me, I’m Mexican.
Nice review you made me want to try this but Man I really want to try this why can’t I get it texas sucks
8:40. So perhaps a Cotton Candy Margarita? With a cotton candy liqueur or a cotton candy vodka in place of triple sec? Lemon juice instead of lime juice? Sounds like it might be something right up your alley, Derrick. Get mixing.
Also, I’m not big on the camera angle change, but I assume it was a one-time deal.
Is tequila best served chilled?
People be crazy. Sparkle Donkey is nasty
