Patrón El Alto Tequila

Richly appointed, with a well aged oak forward and vegetal nose. Some light vanilla and fresh cut wood is also apparent. Exceptional entry on the palate with nectar-like agave sweetness, warm vanilla bean flavors, and an almost creamy mouthfeel. The body is quite round with a smoothness unlike any other tequila we've reviewed. This all comes from the craftsmanship behind the brilliant blending and use of an unusually large variety of barrels. Of all of the Patron expressions, this release excedes them all. One of the loveliest tequilas we've ever enjoyed.

Clase Azul may still be my favorite Reposado... But this is a close second. It's a clear colored spirit, so at first i thought i bought a blanco on accident. But you can tell this was aged or mixed with an extra anejo because of the taste. It's an incredibly smooth tequila with no heat. The agave is there but not overpowering (like you might see with other patron tequilas .) the Clase has a bit more flavor, so if this doesn't have enough kick for you, give that a shot.

“[…] composed of Extra Añejo […] and blended with exceptional Añejo and Reposado tequilas […]”. So, marketing aside, What is this exactly?

Nice and smooth. Tasty
