Sure, tequila shots are fun at parties (and maybe gives you some liquid courage before stepping onto that karaoke stage), but artists rapping about “shots of Patrón” have really given tequila an undeservedly bad (and, ahem, cheap) rep. To conclude, Patrón revolutionized the tequila industry. Although its brand might not be the game changer it was thirty years ago, its quality has not let up.

Burdeos is as smooth as velvet and reminds me of a refined cognac with a fruity tequila finish. Very refined.Whether you’re at an A-list after party or just chilling at home, nothing beats a “Casamigos and soda” for a refreshing, celeb-approved drink. Each batch is distilled for a minimum of two months in stainless steel barrels, and delivers a nice mix of sweet agave, light citrus and just a hint of vanilla. Patron Citronge Lime is another liqueur, this time taking on the natural essences of Mexican and Persian limes. It is smooth and sweet, perfect for sipping straight or mixed into margaritas. Many bartenders swear by this product! 15. Patrón Citronge Mango In case you need to feel worse about your career trajectory, or seek new reasons to believe in your dreams, you can always remind yourself that Patrón co-founder John Paul DeJoria once worked as a janitor. Did we mention he’s now friends with Dirty Harry? Yeah, he’s doing all right. It’s Mexican tequila, but the label’s a shout-out to the U.S. Navy. The Patron Reposado is another tequila that is finely balanced in flavours. Due to being aged for at least two months in oak barrels, it has a light amber tint in its colour and releases aromas of aged oak wood and fresh agave. On the palate, it is simultaneously sweet and spicy, with touches of earthiness from the agave plant while having sweeter notes of vanilla, honey and caramel. It also lingers nicely in the mouth, with a hint of pepper and spice and finishes with a light sweetness.

Pun ukus agave sa aromom slatke baršunaste narandže uz ukusnu vanilu i suvo grožđe sa prodimljeniom karamelom Gran Patrón Burdeos uses high-quality Weber Blue agave, ageing it in oak barrels before finishing in French Bordeaux casks. On The Nose Distilled agave is naturally crystal clear. The lengthy aging process and multiple barrels used in their Anejo, Extra Añejo, and Reposado tequilas give the tequila their signature colors, ranging from light straw to deep gold.

Our Audience

Casamigos is a favorite among the Hollywood crowd, thanks to its co-founder George Clooney, but it’s actually got a lot of substance to go with its style. One of the smoothest, most natural tasting tequilas on our list, Casamigos is made in the Jalisco highlands from 100% agave. Clooney, and co-founder Rande Gerber, say they wanted to make, “the best-tasting, smoothest tequila that didn’t have to be covered up with salt or lime.” PATRÓN tequila is passionately handcrafted with meticulous precision and care in the same small batches and with the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship by our familia of bold innovators who maintain a tireless dedication to achieve perfection in every drop. The “ultra-premium highlands tequila” uses all the beverage buzz words, like “small batch production,” and “distilled in handmade copper pot stills.” But beyond the hype, it’s a smooth, easy to drink option; naturally sweetened with the rich aroma of mature agave plants, with a clean finish. The smoothest Patron is the Patron Extra Anejo. The long aging period inside the barrels removes all the sharp liquor flavors while imparting a sublime oaky taste!
