Patrón El Alto Tequila

Richly presented, featuring a prominent oak-forward and vegetal aroma. Subtle notes of vanilla and freshly cut wood are also noticeable. An exceptional entry on the palate with agave sweetness like nectar, warm vanilla bean flavors, and an almost creamy texture. The body is quite full with a smoothness not seen in other tequilas we've sampled. This is a result of the skillful blending and the use of a broad range of barrels. Among all the Patron expressions, this particular bottling stands out above the rest. One of the most delightful tequilas we've ever had the pleasure of tasting.

While Clase Azul might still be my preferred Reposado, this is a very close second. This spirit is clear, leading me to initially think I'd mistakenly purchased a blanco. However, the taste indicates aging or blending with an extra añejo. It's an incredibly smooth tequila with no heat. The agave is present but not overwhelming, unlike some other tequilas. Clase has a bit more flavor, so if this lacks sufficient punch for you, try that one.

“...made from Extra Añejo… and mixed with outstanding Añejo and Reposado tequilas...”. Setting the marketing aside, what exactly is this?

Pleasant and smooth. Delicious.
