The exceptions would be cheap tequila like Jose Cuervo that just colors their tequila to look aged. Look for 100% agave on the bottle.

Any milagro is good, from the $30 blanco to the $80 extra reserve anejo. Corralejo, Don Julio, Corazon de Agave are all good. The special edition jose cuervo de la familia is actually good but maybe not worth the $150. Cazadores is a good every tequila.
