Patrón Añejo Review
This añejo tequila is a shining example of the perfect marriage of wood and agave distillate. The finished spirit maintains the soul of Patrón Silver but the maturation period contributes decadent dried fruit and vanilla notes, and layers of added complexity. This bottle is ideal for vegetal-spiced riffs on your favorite whiskey cocktails but is just as enjoyable poured over a large rock of ice.
