https://tequila.net/ https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2643 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2643 The first time I got to try this, I was at a tasting where a dozen tequilas were available. I thought this stuff tasted like paint thinner compared to most of the others. This is before the massive marketing rush that has made this popular among people who let signs on trucks tell them what to think. Good rule of thumb: Anyone who calls their blanco tequila "silver" is trying to pull a fast one. This is no exception. ]]> Sun, 16 Sep 2012 06:28:36 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2217 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2217 While I feel like Patron is given harsh treatment from tequila lovers because of it's influence on people with the marketing, I also feel like it has it's place. Patron across the board has very little "true" tequila flavors. It's almost as if it has been taken out to appeal to as broad an audience as possible. That's why I tell people that it can introduce people to tequila when all they previously know is the rancid flavor of the crap they drank in college. However, it will not have a the aging or character that smaller brands will have. Patron Anejo fits all of those descriptions: Slight agave and carmel flavor, thin body and not a ton of overall flavor. The nice thing is that it mixes well and can be found just about anywhere in the US if you want to buy a 100% agave tequila. The bottle is also very nice. It's a mediocre, mildly overpriced tequila. ]]> Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:03:56 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2125 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=2125 This tequila is ok. Someone brought it back from the USA for me because they heard it was "one of the good ones" (hello, Patron marketing machine). Luckily, they only paid $43 for it at duty free. This bottle, however sells here in Ontario at the LCBO for $100. At that price, I would expect a MUCH better tequila. Basically, this tequila just doesn't have a ton of flavour...it's pretty bland stuff. Not offensive, just not that good. The bottle is the best thing about it. ]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:28:23 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1808 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1808 Does not taste like a Anejo, not very good. Beautiful bottle though. ]]> Sat, 05 Feb 2011 16:33:18 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1722 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1722 Very disapointing for an Anejo, by any standards. ]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 20:35:19 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1573 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1573 Patron Añejo #28476 Tasted 15.06.2010 in a Riedel Tequila glass. Slight hint of vanilla and oak, but there is a sort of synthetic smell to it, could it be the caramel? Thin mouth feel, strong spirit burn and the Tequila itself has very little flavour too it. I can pick up some slight agave, vanilla and caramel Nothing special about this Añejo. Simple and stylish bottle with a BIG natural cork stopper. I guess if you are gonna use an añejo for coctails, this would work quite good due to the sweetness. ]]> Wed, 16 Jun 2010 02:03:18 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1536 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1536 Bought this at costco, paid $99 for 1.75 liters. Sampled form a 6 oz. shot glass. I have had this tequila many times and the one thing I can say about Patron is that it is NEVER the same. It is a bit disturbing to say the least. Color is straw, works it way down the glass with fast legs and settles to small tears quickly. Not too complex in the nose, agave/alcohol some caramel and floral comes through. Thin in the mouth and a bit of heat in the finish. It's cheap and comes in a nice big bottle, the top will start to come apart over time. Patron is a marketing success and has brought some attention to the industry. All they need to do now is figure out how to be consistent with their product. ]]> Tue, 18 May 2010 17:13:53 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1428 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1428 One of the few bottles of Anejo that I did not finish. Let my wife use it up cooking shrimp. It wasn't awful, but life is too short to sip Tequila you don't really like. I will order Patron if it is all a bar has to offer. May try some of their higher end Tequila just to make sure I am not missing anything. ]]> Tue, 23 Mar 2010 02:06:43 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1340 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=1340 Patron is a "good" tequila; but, in my opinion, not a "GREAT" tequila. In my humble opinion, not the quality of other anejos in this price-catagory. In the future, I will order something else when savoring an anjeo (Don Julio, Chinaco, Herradura, etc...) This one goes in my margarita... ]]> Fri, 01 Jan 2010 03:22:05 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=994 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=994 I think this anejo gets a bit of a bad rap because of the heavy marketing/popularity of the brand. If you remove the label and just put this anejo aside others I think it would do much better among tequila lovers. Anyway, this anejo lacks a bit of complexity at first blush I'll admit, but what I love about it is its versatility. Most anejos I have a very strong preference to how I like to drink it - on the rocks, straight up (most typical preference), or in a snifter/riedel - but with this I have no preference... my favorite way always seems to be however I'm drinking it at the time! Warmed up in a snifter really brings out some nice carmel and oaky notes, while on ice brings out a little bit of vanilla, and an earthy flavor where the agave is more present. Straight up it is is crisp and refreshing with a nice agave flavor with just the right amount of oak. This doesn't cost much more than most good anejos so I'm not quite certain why people fuss over the price so much - I typically find the 1.75 l on sale for between $80-90 and for that price it is quite a steal! Marketing and hype aside, this anejo is a great choice! ]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:39:54 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=744 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=744 Tasted out of Double Ball glass. Patron anejo just didn't do it for me. I'm just not a fan of the Patron line. It's just my humble opinion. Aroma: Simple agave and wood. Initial Taste: On tip of tongue, there was bitterness. Body: Agave, earth, wood, and caramel. but a little watery. Finish: Of short duration with a small alcohol burn. ]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:41:16 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=614 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=614 I liked the Patron Anejo a little better than the Silver. It has a mild flavor of agave and oak, however not as prominent as other anejos. I found it a bit smoother than the Silver... that's not saying much though. Patron Anejo is not a bad tequila but for the price there is much better out there. ]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 07:38:36 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=568 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=568 Tasted in rocks glass on April 18, 2008 showing long lasting legs down the glass. Patron Anejo Color: light golden Aroma: slight wood Taste: ground black pepper, agave and a tinge of wood with medium to heavy on the tongue finishing with a numbing burn For anejos I would much rather drink either the Sol Azul, Casa Noble or Don Julio 1942. My current top three anejo picks as of the writing of this review. If in a pinch as I was with the bar only have Patron as the "top shelf" Tequila brand then Patron is what you are stuck ordering. ]]> Fri, 18 Apr 2008 19:10:34 +0000 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=241 https://tequila.net/tequila-reviews/anejos/discussions/review.html?id=241 Patron Anejo ? NOM 1492 ? Tasted 5/27/07. On this date I tried this tequila by doing a blind tasting at Zocalo using a snifter. This tequila is a pale yellow color and has an extremely intense aroma of earth and moderate-to-intense floral. There are also moderate aromas of fruit, spice, and smoke followed by a hint of caramel. A mellow taste on the tip of the tongue leads to a low-to-sweet level of sweetness with mild bitterness. The Patron Anejo flavor contains intense fruit flavors and moderate agave, chemical, and floral. The tequila also has mild intensities of earth and smoke followed by a hint of vanilla and spice. Patron Anejo finishes with a medium-to-long duration of flavor and a numbing alcohol feeling. This tequila has been awarded the overall rating of 86/87 points out of 100. ]]> Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:58:09 +0000
