Consistent with much of the rest of the Patron line. This has a stronger agave taste than other Patron tequilas and is off the charts smooth. However, for $150+ a bottle, it needs to be more than that. Not enough flavor or character to merit such a high price tag. The crystal bottle is beautifully wrapped in a velvet bag and the maple box is a nice touch. It's more flash than substance.

A decent tequila that looks good on a shelf, but a terrible value for the price.

Very smooth. Very expensive. I liked it but very smooth. No bite at all. I would have it again if someone else paid for it. At $199 a bottle it's a bit expensive.

This is a good if not great tequila but for the price you could just about buy a case of an even better silver tequila. Considering that $50-$60 is usually the most expensive price for a great silver tequila the price is just simply too much. Most of the cost is because of the name. It is very smooth and has an agave taste to it. It can be sipped but is not as smooth as most reposados and anejos. By its self Gran Patron is an enjoyable tequila but if you are going to spend $200 on a bottle of tequila there are just so many more great buys out there.

Tasted out of a double ball glass. I tell you what I think, for the price that Patron is asking for this 'gem', it had better be a damn good tequila.

It wasn't. Was it smooth? Yes, almost so smooth that there was almost no taste to it. It just seems like another marketing scheme to get people to think they are getting something really great. Id do my formal review (with the aroma, initial taste, etc) but why bother? Bottom line is that the taste was so subtle that it was like there was no agave presence whatsoever. When I drink a tequila, I want to TASTE the agave, I'll even accept some harshness if I have to. You know, it's almost as if I expected something like this from a company like Patron, so in one way, Im actually not disappointed. I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for it.
