I am not familiar with Partida. Is it A?ejo? If so, it's probably nice. I generally am not a fan of cheaper reposados (eg., Jos? Cuervo Especial). Usually, I end up shooting them at a party, or mixing them in a margarita. So, to me it really doesn't matter.

When I want a really nice sipping tequila, I go for Jos? Cuervo's Reserva de la Familia. Only 17,000 bottles are hand-made per year and the blend includes Tequila from reserves 30+ years old. The agave's pi?a (heart) is used exclusively. It has floral, agave (obviously), vanilla and Cognac-like influences. Goes for about $80-100 for a bottle. I've had the same bottle for 2-3 years, so it's not exactly breaking the bank.
