Two Fingers down the tubes?

I was at the liquor store (MGM Liquor Warehouse near Lake Calhoun) looking to get a new bottle of cheap, but good tequila. Normally, Two Fingers tequila fits the bill, however, this day changed everything. I used to like the tequila because it was very reasonably priced and it was 100% agave. Two very good qualities for a tequila. I was shocked to find out that the 100% agave label was no longer on the bottles. So I was either dreaming in the past or they cheapened the product. Of course, they might still make it the same and just don’t list it on the label (which would be really dumb). Maybe this is the result of the much hyped blue agave shortage that people keep talking about.

I have called the US distributors and they have not returned my calls. I have not tried the new, agave-free labeled bottles, so there are no report on any quality changes. Until they return my call or I go to the Jalisco Province of Mexico to find out myself, I might be in the market for a new, cheap favorite tequila. Any suggestions?

Whiskey Season is Here

And I am very happy.
