Patrón Ahumado Silver Review
Patrón describes this 2023 release as "smoke-kissed" and there's scarcely a better way to portray its profile compared to, say, the brand's Silver (blanco) expression. That subtle, charred character arrives by cooking the agaves for the base spirit over charcoal. The result is a smokiness that's a far cry from most mezcals, with attractive floral and fruit notes also taking center stage. Price-wise, we're firmly in sipping territory with this release. By don't be afraid to mix this in cocktails — you'll love the results.
