## What is Agave Matchmaker?

Agave Matchmaker (the app formerly known as "Tequila Matchmaker") is the only rating system smart enough to detect your personal preferences and match you with tequilas and other agave spirits that are right for you. Each has its own "flavor fingerprint," and each person has his or her own flavor preferences. Our proprietary matching algorithm uses nine different characteristics to find the best matches for you. Oh, and it gets smarter as you use it.

Agave Matchmaker is a product of TasteTequila.com, an independent tequila blog and community run by Grover and Scarlet Sanschagrin.

Here's what to expect:

- Be surprised by your individual taste profile: Based on your ratings, the app shows you which aromas and flavors you are responding to. It will even tell you which production methods, and regions of Mexico, you like the most (and least!)

- Matching you with the right tequilas: The app will use your rating and "likes" to match you with the best agave spirits for your palate. 

- Seriously detailed product information: Products listed in the app show community ratings, aroma and flavor descriptors, and production details. You can't get any geekier than this!

- Keep up with what's happening in the agave spirits community in real time: Follow other tequila and agave spirits lovers, keep on top of trending products, and get the latest industry news in the Activity tab of the app.

- Find out where your favorite tequila is made: Our distillery database is the most complete searchable index available online. It is updated regularly because we tap into data available from tequila regulators, the TTB, and brands themselves. It contains historical data so you can still find information on older tequilas and brands. Search by NOM number, or simply type in a brand name, and the app will show you where it was made, and what other tequilas are made in that same distillery.

- It’s not just for tequila geeks: Even if you don't know anything about tequila or agave spirits, the app will teach you in an easy and engaging way by using your own taste profile.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-05-08*

I find myself cruising through this app for long periods of time, very fun and informative. Enjoying the detailed breakdowns of these spirits, from complex aromas and flavors to regions and production methods. Also just found out that I can rate certain lots or batches and a detailed breakdown of my profiles.

### 5/5 — Great tequila reviews

*2026-05-04, version 1.9.7*

Great way to see what tequilas are good and what tequilas are just good at marketing/ promotion

### 1/5 — Cannot save review

*2026-03-28, version 1.9.7*

Cannot save review so no point in using this app sadly

### 4/5 — App missing additive free sticker for tequilas

*2026-01-15, version 1.9.7*

There used to be a sticker for tequilas that were additive free. With this new update, it’s no longer there. Can you please fix this? Thanks.

### 2/5 — Good site. Very unresponsive.

*2026-01-10, version 1.9.7*

App performance is very poor

### 1/5 — Misleading information

*2025-09-28, version 1.9.7*

This app is been misleading about products and pretty much information they publish are not knowing what they talking or have any knowledge

### 5/5 — Agave

*2025-09-24, version 1.9.7*

Already liking the agave update with new products soon

### 1/5 — The Tequila App That’ll Drive You to Drink (In a Bad Way)

*2025-08-07*

Tequila Matchmaker promises a curated experience for tequila lovers and delivers something that feels more like a broken vending machine. Half the features don’t work (was this app coded during a hangover?), and it treats my password like a seasonal item: here today, gone tomorrow. I’ve reset it more times than I’ve actually tasted tequila this month.

Want to log in? Nope, password’s expired again. Want to enjoy tequila? Better off using a paper notebook and a bottle of patience.

Great idea, awful execution. Pour one out for what could’ve been.

### 5/5 — Love the app but needs improvement

*2025-07-29*

The app is amazing, at least the concept, rating system, the vast number of tequilas on here and still getting added everyday. The whole app just needs a new rework, it just feels clunky and takes a while to load up details and reviews when you click a tequila. I’m sure it will get better eventually but right now I’m still happy with it. Great job!

### 4/5 — Needs an update

*2025-06-14, version 1.9.6*

Amazing app. Just needs an update. Very laggy and easier to use the website. The apps interface is amazing though.
