Review Detail

Patron Reposado tasted in a snifter 6/4/09. Having read several people say that this was one of their favorites from the Patron line up I purchased a couple of shots. I must say it's not getting much love here. To me it's not much like the Silver which I can drink and sometimes enjoy. First nose wasn't bad but first taste is very perfumey and hot. Not much agave presence. Taste is hot and lingers on the tongue with a major mouth and lip numbing effect of long duration. Nothing special about the aftertaste except for elements of wood and smoke. Small quick shot type swallows seem to reduce the unpleasant effects and strangely seems to smooth it out somewhat. Not what I'm looking for in a reposado. The inital nose is the best part about this tequila but it failed to carry through with much else.
