Nose: Agave, touch of honey. Light vanilla notes. Definitely a hint of banana and butterscotch. Palate: Agave and caramel, right off the bat. Vanilla, and a very strong whiskey note. Bourbon, I think. I get the barrel notes for sure, but not a ton else. Verdict: Try it. It’s a competent añejo. If your choice is this or picking up a 1L of Tapatio for another couple bucks, by all means skip it. But at $45-50/bottle, I see no real flaws here. It’s a competent, albeit simple tequila. It tastes quality, no crappy diffuser notes, additive free, and an all around decent sipper. It’s not top shelf, but honestly, I don’t understand the hate it gets. I really think it’s just cool to hate on Patron, And that’s why everybody does. The blanco is a little pricy for what it is, but at least here in California, the añejo is reasonably priced. I assume the blanco and repo are priced up to account for that, but I’m not sure.

Nose is Baking spices, Werther’s original candy, cooked agave. More caramel on the palate, it’s sweet which turns to some burn and a lingering, albeit simple, finish.

Patron Anejo Nose: Sweet cooked agave / perfume. Oak and dark fruit. Taste: Fruity oak and cooked agave. Slightly astringent. Finish: Short clean finish $50 ATX

Baked cake, caramel, agave and black pepper but finish simple

Love the barrel selection here, they have made a really great Añejo. Agave still present which isn’t easy, no wonder they sell millions of these bottles!

Nose: Has moderate agave, barrel spices, vanilla and a floral note. Ripe fruit aroma. Flavor: Sweet agave and a little pepper kick. Semi oily on the tongue with vanilla/ almond notes. Ripe fruit, perhaps cherries and guava. Finishes with pepper and vanilla. Patron always takes the knocks because of pricing and predisposed assumptions. Yes, there are better. And I think they try to hit a target audience with a product that is middle of the road. But it is a well crafted tequila - just not stellar.

Flavors and aromas are muted. At this price, I expected a more.

Light feel prefer more flavor.

Rated blind. Aroma rich with vanilla and cake batter, and not very complicated. Grass, hay, straw also present. Flavor is warm and sweet, with a dry finish. This is not an overly aged tequila, which I appreciate, but it's also very simple.

Softly sweet on the nose. Excellent, creamy mouthfeel. Mild bite, warm right through to the end with a surprising sweet finish.

Buen fin de boca, pero con poca madera

Very sweet in the nose, vanilla and oak notes. Quite smooth, heavy oak notes and sweet

Aroma is very okay and wood with hints of vanilla and raisins Taste is of oak, vanilla and honey Finish is Carmel and pretty smooth

For an añejo, it feels like it should be a repo. I expect more from an anejo and didn’t feel like the price matches the product. It wasn’t bad, but there are so many other Anejos to sip on that are superior in flavor profile than this.

VERY sweet. Hint of smoke. Slightly harsh finish

Nose: slight citrus, very light on the nose, almost not there! Taste: uhm, I’ve been drinking this along time, never sipped it, and likely won’t again! Finish: Thoughts: gift to friends?

Oak, smoke, vanilla, caramel, smooth, I like it but there’s better values

Pleasant odour but not heavy on agave or barrel notes, ripe banana and vanilla as well. Oak and agave is heavier on pallet. Nice smooth taste of honey and vanilla with a finish that is peppery and hot. it is better than decent but not amazing. For the price of Patron products this is the best tasting in this line.

Definition of average. Nothing good, nothing really bad about this Anejo. Just okay.

Is this tequila? Not much taste at all.

Aroma:agave,oak,honey,brine,brown sugar,earthy,alcohol. Taste:agave,honey,brine,pepper,butter,caramel,citrus, berry, Easy to drink A great Anejo for the price

Not bad. Expected more. Nice agave scent. A little bitter. But still smooth. Weak finish.

Smell is just heat. Missing any barrel or Agave. Taste is a little smooth but no pronounce flavors. But no bad ones either. Hot finish. Embarrassing for an anejo, but not bad for a generic tequila.

Very light flavour. Slightly spicy finish.

38% MX Release. Not bad nor not good. It is what it is.
