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.
Not much on the nose. Tasted a lot of citrus, some pepper and cooked agave with a pretty sting alcohol taste. Finished with a little hint of cinnamon. Overall nothing blows you away but a solid tequila that will do in a pinch.
