every now and then I revisit this tequila, and I come up with the same result. i give Patron props for their community involvement, but I don't care for the flavor profile of this tequila, never have. thinking they use immature agave and/or they don't cut enough of the green off the piñas. it's too harsh for me = too much alcohol and pepper, bitter notes. don't get much agave at all. not my style of tequila, and IT'S WAY OVERPRICED!

It’s a great silver for cocktails. Also a plus that it is additive free but unfortunately the price is hefty for a good mixer.

not bad but much better options available for lower price

Reminds me of old college days. But aroma little agave lots of citrus taste gets a tad better after a while, but not much. The citrus and anise flavor is very strong. Definitely no where near my go to.

Got as part of sampler pack. Good aroma but nothing very distinct coming through. A bit of agave but not strong alcohol so balanced, I guess. Flavor, middle of the road but maybe a bit better because no harsh finish or aftertaste. Great gateway brand.

The nose is the best part. I detect fresh agave and bright citrus. It’s clean. I taste the agave and some pepper. The finish is short but clean. This is a non offensive tequila but it lacks depth and complexity. I have visited their distillery so I know that they make tequila in the traditional way and they strive for superior quality.

This one falls a little flat for me. Nothing really stands out. Overall nice for a mixer but there are better tequilas for the price.

Great package and marketing, Gets points for getting us to move away from mixto. I think we can find so many other fine blanco’s at a lower price point. A very distinctive flavor profile, that has mass appeal. I guess if we were doing chilled shots, I wouldn’t mind.

Cooked agave and alcohol

Tequila is done well and balanced but is simple and overprice. I personally like tequilas with more agave and a good body.

Let’s get this out of the way......I fucking LOVE this company and doors they have broken down to allow me to sit back and try a million tequilas! I’ve always been a fan of the silver, it’s consistently delicious and available anywhere. This product is a little too clean to rate as elite for my palette, the finish is the weak link.

Olfato: Fruity: Citrus and pineapple, floral, peppery, nuts and with caramelized agave. Gusto: Pepper heat, light anise, citrus, cinnamon and cooked agave. All a bit muted. Finishes with lingering pepper, floral notes and sweet agave. A bit of bitterness. I like this more than I anticipated.

Not bad but not great.

subtle caramel in a blanco? yes along with cooked agave, citrus and a hint of vanilla. the aroma is easy like a Sunday morning. black pepper front, a little shocking given the smoothness of the nose. 5 second buttery finish eases to pepper, oak, caramel and vanilla. sipper, but not all night long.

Oily green agave nose and flavor. Pepper, citrus and alcohol are also present in a mild and short finish. A modest blanco at a premium price.

Way to much money but good.

Decent blanco.

Green agave, peppery notes and earthy aromas. More fuerte than I remember.

Very pleasant all around. But perhaps a bit light for my tastes?

Some agave sweetness and citrus initially. Spice on the tongue along with some alcohol numbing. Moderately long finish. I will say that the Roca Patron is very tasty being tahona ground and higher proof.

My Guess: Siete Leguas Blanco

Aroma: This is a little mellow. It has a slight hint of cooked agave as well as an earthy quality (almost like clay). Flavor: There are notes of agave and pepper. This has a slightly briny quality. That is left on the finish. Finish: Again, like the aroma, it's pretty mellow but definitely has a stronger finish at the back of your mouth.

Patron deserves credit for bringing high quality tequila to the mass market, but they tend to get bashed a lot these days. Undeserved, if you ask me. Patron Silver is actually pretty good, and being a huge brand they do a better job than many other small batch brands on the market. The one thing that took points off of my score has to do with some inconsistency from bottle to bottle. Not that every batch should taste exactly the same, but I really should have a good feel for what I'm going to get out of a bottle.

Let this be a gateway tequila that lets you forget your bad Cuervo experiences, gives you the confidence to ditch the syrupy mixers, and start exploring the many wonderful artisanal options available. Had to come back and adjust my rating after a blind tasting. Not a bad sipper for such high production volumes.

Patron gets bashed a bit too much for its obvious success. I think it is a decent blanco, although somewhat overpriced (I purchased a 375 for $15, so it was not too pricey). 2010 bottling.
