Espolon blanco is pretty good for the price, the real steal is repo and anejo. Repo costs the same as blanco at $24/bottle and anejo is only $33. Plus the 6 year is on like mega sale in my state right now so it's $60/bottle. Absolutely insane because that could easily match a good extra anejo worth $100/bottle.

I have a friend who loves tequila, she is pretty wealthy (a doctor) For a Christmas gift, keeping it under 100 buck, what would you guys recommend I get her for a bottle of tequila, which I was gonna get her for Christmas anyway was just gonna do the research my self, but looks I got some experts here so I'll make use of your knowledge if you would be so kind. If it makes a huge diffecnce I am willing to stratch the budget to 150us. Thanks in advance.

OK, you really seem to know your tequilas, think I'll go with that one, I hope it blows her away. They, Her Husband and herself have doen so much for me so I'd like to get them something unique and totally impractical (my idea of a perfect gift)

a decanter set would also be a cool gift. you can get them customized.

Not available in my state unfortunately but Centenario has pretty good rep. Again I'll recommend the Espolon Anejo X if it's available where you're at for the sale price it's available here. Shit slams.
Cuervo De La Familia is also quite good and the repo is $90 here.
Clase Azul repo is a really popular gift tequila. Good for the price and the bottle is an eye catcher. Gonna run you over $100 though, more like $125. Honestly though if she's really into tequila try and prod a bit and see if she has had this already because getting it as a gift can be a bit dull if you've already been gifted it. If it's not more than like a "oh I like tequila" kinda thing then pull the trigger. I've never seen this bottle not impress as it's usually someone's first foray into $100+ bottles unless they've had Don Julio 1942 (and Clase Azul is better).

White bottle with blue accent is the repo bottle for Clase Azul.
