Review: Patron Anejo Tequila Sherry Cask Aged

Products You May Like

Alternatively often known as Patron Cask Assortment Sherry Cask Añejo, this particular version of Patron Tequila is exclusive in that it spends its two-plus years of getting older in oloroso sherry bottles. No ending right here; it’s sherry all the best way.

The sherry provides the tequila a brightly vivid orange hue, and its fragrant on the nostril as nicely, mixing the pure spice and natural notes of the tequila with a pointy citrus character. The aroma evolves in glass to turn into evenly nutty, with notes of toasted sesame seeds and a peppery, barely beefy edge. Curious notes of burnt matches give it a barely sulfurous character when you breathe deep.

The palate has a curious edge, very sharp with a distinctly oxidized observe, winey and fairly nutty. It’s extra sherry than tequila, with a doughy consistency and plenty of that heavy, virtually amontillado-like character. Grassy, winey, and fairly nutty on the palate, the spirit typically doesn’t characterize itself as tequila in any respect, coming throughout as a younger brandy maybe. That dusky, oxidized sherry character on the end is not possible to shake, and it lingers on the tongue nearly endlessly. Whereas a bit gritty and pungent, it’s not unenjoyable — in actual fact I went again to the bottle a number of instances simply to make sure I used to be tasting what I assumed I used to be tasting — however finally I by no means got here to phrases with how extraordinarily far this diverged from any basic expression of tequila, anejo or in any other case. I really like experimentation within the tequila biz, however this bottling simply goes too far.

80 proof.
