I had to buy on the secondary market as this is no longer made. Back in the day it was readily available I wasn’t using TMM. I wanted this and the Anejo to complete my collection. This has a pleasant nose with light cooked agave and oak I get vanilla and caramel, too. Nice nose of honey. Bit of a whiskey aroma. The taste is pleasant as well. Cooked agave, pepper, oak, vanilla and caramel. I also that the honey that I got on the nose. A light of alcohol on the finish. I hear Roca is coming back. I really hope Patron sticks to this method as it really is a good option and used to be widely available at restaurants and bars that don’t carry other good tequilas. Dinged in value because it is expensive if you can find it.
Nose: caramel/ vanilla/cinnamon/ butter/ dried fruit / banana/ melon / berry / grapes/ tangerine/ mint / anise / tea/ baking spice / nutmeg / chocolate/ maple/ cream soda Taste: caramel/ grapes / cinnamon/ vanilla/ dried fruit/ citrus / spearmint/ anise / orange blossom/ baking spices / chocolate/ maple Finish: heavy viscosity with lingering grape, caramel, and cinnamon flavors / there is a distinct wine taste on the finish which is to be expected of something aged in sherry casks This anejo has a great nose that draws you in with a huge amount of aromas and many of them are quite bold and enjoyable, but then the heavy grape flavor comes in and sits down on the whole thing…it’s not overwhelming but is definitely a major flavor that’s not delicate. There is some hint of artificial sweetener and possibly glycerin as a thickening agent…it has a pretty heavy viscosity…but not syrupy. The flavors just need more balance.
Nose: earth/ mineral/ hint of lactic / lime / lemongrass / alcohol Taste: agave cooked / pepper/ vanilla/ artificial sweetener/ cinnamon/ earth / mineral/ apple / banana/ melon/ lime / licorice/ tea / mint / hint of cream soda Finish: velvety smooth lightly viscous mouthfeel that is clean. There are lingering pepper and artificial vanilla notes that stay for a while. This blanco has some detectable additives that are not horrible; I’m assuming the amount of artificial sweeteners and vanilla are quite minimal to get the flavors to appear without going overboard. The finish made me think of the lightest syrup feel you could imagine…like almost not there, but then you move your tongue and it’s the tiniest bit sticky. The overall taste was good, the the nose was not.
This profile surprised me, tasted in a blind tasting
My favorite bar in town finally had something new to try. The aroma was lacking much of anything. I picked up some cooked agave and a hint of oak. Flavor, I was immediately hit with black pepper spiciness, what seemed like added vanilla and artificial sweetener. The finish disappeared quickly, thankfully. This is a new addition to their lineup.

Bought this to complete my Roca collection. I hear this will be released again by Patron and I hope so. Not that it was a a tequila I would drink on a regular basis as there is still much better. But this is good and with the Patron name if it is released again it will end up in many restaurants and bars. This one has a nice nose of cooked agave, vanilla, oak and caramel. It’s buttery and has a touch of honey. Similar to the repo only sweeter. On the palate this is also tasty. I get agave and barrel spices. The whiskey is more pronounced on this one.
