Patrón Reposado Tequila

Neat. Nose is very faint. No ethanol burn, citrus peel, white pepper, oak. Taste starts a little sweet, but quickly becomes bitter. Citrus rind, tamarind, bitter orange, white pepper, anise, a little vanilla Longish finish of orange rind, saccharine, and french oak. Mouthfeel is thin and finishes very dry. No 'Curevo Gold bite' whatsoever I feel like I'm supposed to hate this, but I don't. I haven't tasted a tequila quite like this. Dry, bitter, citrusy. I can definitely see how the bitterness would turn off a lot of people that love a nice rich fruity tequila. This is a 180 from something like a Clase Azul Rep. Fans of a dry IPA or a Belgian Wit, with an orange, just might like this.

tastes like tequila, a little harsher than expected. a good reason for a lime...

Mellow but tingly with a hint of anis

Take my advice........this is a rail drink. There are better selections out there. Don't be fooled by commercialism. If you go to Mexico, you will notice the difference. In the good ole USA, they've diluted it and stomped on it it tastes like. Its too bitter for my palate. When i first started drinking tequila, this was the goto choice, until i started sampling all the tequilas starting from the top shelf of my local liquor store. Thats when i realized there are significantly more selections out there. This, to me, is not good enough for a backup and its still priced and placed on the top shelf. No bueno.
