I have heard similar stories about Patrón Tequila, which is marketed as a premium tequila and definitely one of the more pricey brands. It was originally produced by the Casa Siete Leguas distillery. However, they moved production to a newer distillery in 2002 to allow for more mass production.
It was argued that the move caused a major decrease in quality and no longer deserves the premium price tag it goes for nowadays.
It's impossible for me to say if these claims are true since the move happened a while ago, but it is another example of consumers arguing quality differences in a product.
- Infernal 8y agoIn this case, Siete Leguas still produces tequila - would be interesting to compare, as the prices between Siete Leguas and Patrón are not too far off. https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/tequila/blanco-silver/7-leguas-blanco-tequila/p/101628750?s=1108 https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/tequila/blanco-silver/7-le...
- saosebastiao 8y agoIt is by far one of the best tequilas available at any price. In particular their añejos and reposados. Patron is still a great tequila. But if Siete Leguas is available, I'll choose it every time.
