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.
Very light amber color in the glass. Not sure how long it's aged. Aroma of cooked agave, vanilla, cinnamon and oak. Flavor of agave, black pepper spiciness, hint of vanilla in the first sip that seemed artificial. Medium finish.
