Just drink some fucking whiskey, you heathen wastes of skin.

What's a good light tequila? I think it's the heavy cactoid flavor that gets to me the most.
I'm looking for the equivalent in terms of tequila that scotch is to whiskey in general.
Or are all the good tequilas heavy flavorful drinks?

well...  you know...  technically....

scotch is to whiskey as scotland is to everywhere else.  so, the equivalent to tequila would be tequila specifically brewed in Jalisco, Mexico.

But yes, Anejo is kept in oak casks the longest (~1 year).  Reserva is tippy-top, but you need to be careful because some tequilas are "mislabeled" for "marketing purposes".  Don't confuse that with Reposado, which is kind of a middle ground.

Let me ask:  have you ever had a tequila that was NOT clear?

Have we progressed to Mexican Car Bombs?

No, I think they're sticking primarily to automatic weapons.

You mean transparent rather than opaque? Or do you mean clear in terms of flavor?

To answer both, my tequila is usually pretty strong-flavored (although not really muddy) and it is the color of piss.

So, that's PROBABLY an Oro, which is just colored/flavored Blanco.
The next time you're shopping for tequila, check where it's from and try to pick up a reposado or anejo.

And that'll be lighter and less cactusy?

Ah now you're talking a language I understand!
