****Highly Recommended, F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal): "Flawless pristine appearance; colorless as mineral water. In the inital aromatic pass I detect very subtle traces of agave fiber; white pepper and limestone; another seven minutes of aeration bring out more pronounced fragrances of citrus rind, shale and dried flowers. Entry is remarkably silky and smooth, with upfront flavors of agave syrup and stone which are buttressed by more foundational tastes of vanilla bean and green vegetable; midpalate is graceful in bearing, gently sweet, moderately peppery and long in the throat. Finishes elegantly, firmly and medium viscous. Obviously, great care was taken with this stately silver tequila. My sole concern is that Patinum Silver is so polished, reserved and shiny that, for those of us who relish blanco/silver tequila because at its best it bursts with agave, a certain rusticity is missing. Can tequila be too refined and upper crust for its own good? The tequila-buying public will decide. (Dec 2012)"

Wine Enthusiast: "Those with a few extra dollars in their pocket may want to invest in a bottle of triple-distilled Gran Patrón Platinum. A contributing factor to its satiny texture and medium-weight body is that a portion of each batch is aged in American oak barrels and then blended back prior to the final distillation. The Tequila immediately fills the mouth with spicy, peppery and citrusy flavors. While worthy of a snifter, Gran Patrón Platinum is also dandy in cocktails. (Sep 2009)"

Patron tequilas are produced from the finest blue agave plants for their higher 'honey' or sugar content. For Gran Patron, they carefully hand select the finest blue agave plants from their exceptional harvest and meticulously remove any leftover sprouts to eliminate any bitterness before baking. The tequila is triple distilled to make it ultra smooth. A portion of each batch is aged for a limited amount of time, and then blended to create the finest platinum tequila in the world.
