I would qualify to this review to say that I have a highly sophisticated palate for food as well as small amounts of fine alcohol in moderation tempered by a desire for value. I was raised in a household where excellent food, nice vino in moderation and economising were family values. I also had the luck to marry a woman who felt the same with whom I can share all these wonderful treats.
For these reasons I have to say that I disliked Patron Anejo. I have tried about 9 different Anejos and 11 tequilas all told. All of these were of the 100% agave sipping kind, and Patron Anejo was my least favorite.
It has a nice presentation and a decent agave flavor but it's rough and doesn't finish well. The ageing manages to disrupt the citrus flavors for which its sliver tequila is famous without adding any smoothness and if anything makes it more harsh and taste less of agave.
Don't get me wrong, Patron Anejo is much better than Jose Cuervo or other cheap tequilas. For many people, the Patron line is their 1st gateway into the delicious world of 100% agave tequilas and if that's the purpose it serves, than it deserves to exist. However, don't be fooled by the advertising because in its price range you can get some amazing anejos like Don Julio or El Tesoro de Don Felipe.
If you have trepidation about making a 60 dollar mistake like I did but 100% agave tequilas make you curious, start with the very inexpensive Milagro line which is as good if not better than Patron but costs half as much.
Some people may swear by this tequila, but when all is said and done, the price to quality ratio is not in favor of the consumer.
