You can sip it, but Lou thinks it's best as a mixer tequila.
This one is probably the weakest effort from the Patron line and I generally like reposados the best because they are a nice balance of the agave punch with the aspects and craftsmanship of the particular distillery. This one disappoints on both fronts.
Although I have drink this many times over the years, I see that I have never rated it. I’m down the shore for the weekend and finished the bottle I bought with me. Local store doesn’t have anything worth picking up so I grabbed a 375 of the Patron Repo Nose is actually agave forward. Getting vanilla and caramel. Cinnamon is prominent. On the palate, I get cooked agave, pepper, vanilla, caramel and cinnamon. While this isn’t mind blowing, it also isn’t that bad. I’m gonna rate it a touch higher than where it currently sits. Later I will put this in some blinds with a few other repos to see where it stands.
