Tequila Matchmaker Premium Brand
Patron Anejo Nose: Sweet cooked agave / perfume. Oak and dark fruit. Taste: Fruity oak and cooked agave. Slightly astringent. Finish: Short clean finish $50 ATX
The nose is the best part. I detect fresh agave and bright citrus. It’s clean. I taste the agave and some pepper. The finish is short but clean. This is a non offensive tequila but it lacks depth and complexity. I have visited their distillery so I know that they make tequila in the traditional way and they strive for superior quality.
Well aged. Warm finish without an overpowering oak finish. Well done Patron, now can we come down a bit in price?
Follows the blanco in lock-step. No nose, great taste, but overpriced. Lovely flavor !!
Bit of nail polish on those nose. Not much in the way of agave, earth, or citrus. Flavor however is quite pleasing, warm, sweet, floral. Long warm finish that’s well rounded. Price ain’t so hot. Better options for less money IMO.
Apricot, cherry, clove, and buttery caramel nose with sweet agave flavor and spicy (pepper), dry finish that balances out the sweet flavor.
Why it exists, how it works, and what you should expect.
David Rodriguez has been promoted to Patrón Master Distiller. He has been with the brand for nearly 18 years, working side by side with original Master Distiller, Francisco Alcaraz.
The team behind the Tequila Matchmaker have launched a “Verified Additive Free” program for tequila brands and distilleries. This is the first known independent, additive-free verification in the spirits world.
Largely dependent on U.S. bars and restaurants, Mexico’s craft distilleries are in trouble, and trying to find new ways to connect with consumers.
Last year was a busy time in the tequila world. Here's what we expect to see in 2020, and beyond.
We predict the brands that will shine in the next 12 months.
Some tequila producers are laying the groundwork for sustainability, but bartenders and conscientious consumers can fight the good fight, too.
Patrón is unveiling the result of its own patience: a limited-edition, 10-year-old extra añejo tequila called Patrón Extra Añejo 10 Años.
What tequila producers choose to do now, in other words, will determine the spirit’s future. And we, the tequila-purchasing public, have to take our role more seriously to ensure its survival.
