This is a top shelf tequila that for some reason has been underrated by people who don't know how to discern high-quality spirits when they try them. Patron is hand-crafted from 100% Weber Blue Agave and is distilled in small batches to ensure quality over quantity. This silver tequila makes world-class margaritas, but can be enjoyed straight as well. Its aroma is fruity and herbal. Its flavor is spicy, herbal, and earthy as well as rich and smooth. It has a tart edge, but it is balanced with surprising sweetness. A slight oily flavor and silky texture remind you of its superior pedigree. It is smooth and sweet with a light peppery finish. Drink chilled in a margarita or room-temperature straight. You'll enjoy all the well-executed high quality flavors and attributes of this world-class silver tequila!

This higher proof version of the standard Bombay Sapphire Dry Gin is one for the books. Its aroma is a bit dry and flat, but the taste experience is far more impressive. Juniper and notes of botanicals delicately infused into the spirit with a hint of citrus and floral overtones. Obvious flavors of licorice root and grain prevail as well. An herbaceous quality takes over towards the end and then a surprising release of sweetness as the bite from the alcohol dissipates. When mixed with tonic infused with quinine and a squirt of lime you'll notice the herbal characteristics of the gin more strongly and a juniper-forward experience. I would describe this gin as a classic take on the gin variety and a text-book infusion of standard ingredients expressed delicately yet readily discerned.
