Tequila Joe's Collection
Patron Reposado
My Tasting Notes: On this date I tried this tequila at the Davis Graduate Tequila
Bar using a snifter.  This tequila is pale yellow in color and has intense aromas of earth
and floral.  There are also moderate aromas of fruit and spice with mild smoke and
hints of vanilla.  A mellow taste on the tongue with slight heat/burning sensation leads
to a sweet tequila experience with some bitterness.  The Patron Reposado flavor
contains intense earth with moderate-to-intense agave and floral flavors and
moderate spice and chemical flavors.  The tequila also has mild intensities of fruit and
wood with hints of vanilla.  Patron Reposado finishes with a long duration of flavor and
a numbing alcohol feeling.

Other Info: "Patron Tequila, like the great wines and cognacs of the world, is
exceptional for a reason.  It begins with the finest growing region in Mexico.  High in
the mountains of Jalisco exists a region with perfect soil and climate which allows the
sugar and acid balances of the Weber Tequilana Blue Agave to mature and produce
the "agave pineapple" unequalled elsewhere in the world.  Like premium wine grapes
the sugar acid balance must be perfect before harvest.  Patron tequilas are produced
in the traditional homemade fashion.  

After harvest the "pineapples" are carefully selected, trimmed, and then slowly steam
baked.  When cooked to perfection the "pineapple" is macerated with large natural
stone milling wheels.  The fermentations done with the fiber of the "pineapple" which
helps impart its unique flavor and smoothness.    After a double distillation process the
tequila is fine filtered in preparation for hand filling into artisan, hand made bottles.  
Every bottle of Patron is truly one of a kind." -Patron Neck Tag
