Tastes

September 16, 2021. From a 50 ml miniature. Half an ounce in a Glencairn glass. Nice agave herbal nose, pleasant on the palate, and as usual for me, the nose is more complex than on the palate. The palate is almost an afterthought. A very necessary afterthought, I’d add! Okay, readers, what I’m doing here is actually a side-by-each comparison of Patron Silver versus Don Julio Blanco. Nope, not a blind test, so not scientific whatsoever, but hey, y’know? After several small sippy-sips I’m gonna give the nod to Don Julio, but not by a lot. Just checked prices at the BC government store, and there is price fluctuation from time to time, but they’re both currently listed in the 750 ml at $79.99 CAD

Well yes, it’s delicious, but curiously I’ve decided for now that I prefer un-barreled tequila over reposado or anejo.

This is interesting. I’ve got 50 ml miniatures of Patron silver and Don Julio blanco. Site reviewers give them 80 and 92 respectively. On 10 ml tastes I cannot tell the difference.

Mar 8 2020, from the back bar at the Fairview Pub on West Broadway in Vancouver. From a 2/3 full bottle, a one ounce pour into a medium goblet. Plenty fruity and spicy, less floral than the blanco. Nice, but I prefer the blanco. 😐
