Patrón Silver Tequila
Tequila Blanco
Patrón // Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Introduced in 1989 along with their Añejo release is the now iconic Patrón Silver Tequila. Co-founded by John Paul DeJoria (of John Paul Mitchell hair products), Patrón first introduced the world to "ultra-premium" tequila. The brand's standard line is produced by using half tahona-crushed agave and half modern roller-mill crushed agave.
The agaves are sourced from Los Altos, Jalisco and are slow-roasted in an oven before fermentation in wooden vats. The late Francisco Alcaraz was their original Master Distiller & Blender who created the recipe for the brand. It was initially produced at the Siete Leguas distillery until Patrón built their own in 2002.

Tasting Notes
"The aroma lean towards powdered sugar territory, but doesn't overwhelm. Also present is a small dose of green agave leaves. The palate, while clean, is sharp and a touch sweet, but not very plush. There is little in the middle in the way of flavor. As you continue to drink, you'll discover a bit more in the aroma by way of lime pith and chalk which is also what you are left with on the finish."
