I have to say this stuff (and I'm drinking some now) is really not that good. For the price, I'd rather have one "Hecho en Mexico" rather than this marketing gimmick. I tell you what though, get you some 40-year aged Don Julio and sip it slow while watching South Park, and you'll be good to go girl scouts.

***if you are considering buying Patron tequila, read this first***

Patron is owned by Paul Mitchell Haircare products and thrives off of a marketing gimmick...

-Casa Siete Leguas (a family owned tequila distillery founded in the 1950s) began producing and selling their high end tequila to Paul Mitchell and Martin Crowley (huge beverage distributor) to be sold as Patron in the United States in 1991. The high quality tequila was a HUGE hit in the US, and with a fancy hand blown bottle, gave Patron the reputation of a quality, premium tequila the likes most Americans had never seen.

However, in 2002, due to a number of reasons (mostly profit and the inability to meet demand), Mitchell and Crowely decided to ditch the traditional, high quality tequila being produced by Siete Leguas distillery. Instead, Patron began buying all their agave (plants that tequila is made from) off the open (and sometimes black) agave markets in Mexico. Therefore, Patron no longer produces a quality tequila; it is a mass produced, cheapest available, whatever turns the most profit tequila marketed under the guise of the "ultra premium" "best tequila in the world" slogan. Not only is Patron an inferior tequila to others costing $20 less, Patron has serious issues with consistency, as they buy their agave from different producers, yielding significantly different flavors and quality levels. try a bottle now and try one 6mos from now, and they will not be the same.

if you are looking for a high quality tequila, instead try:
-partida
-dos lunas
-el tesoro
-oro azul
-espolon
-casa noble
-siete leguas
-cielo
-don julio
-all of these are the same or cheaper price than patron
-be aware of corazon tequila, they were bought by bacardi, and are suffering a similar fate

-sorry to rain on everyone's parade, but Patron really isn't that good and thrives off good marketing and consumer ignorance

Great Flavor, Great Bottle, Greate everything, I love Patrón.

I think the ropasado is ok, the blanco sucks, and I thought the more aged, expenive anejo wasn't as good as the ropasado. They have a really expensive one call Grand Patron, but no thanks. Its a lot better than most of the cheaper garbage and considering all most americans know is Jose Crapo this is better then that. But yes, unfairly prices, thus the rating.

this tequila really sucks huge donkey ball sacks. i'm drinking it right now, and i really don't think it is that great

another over-priced medicore tequila. If it wasn't for marketing this product would be just above cuervo gold

Nice and smooth for sipping! My favorite!

I like patron, its smooth, but it is pricey.

This stuff rocks! I recently decided to give Tequila a try again. 21st bday has kept me away for almost 20 years. There is not a better Silver on the market. Repo and Anejo are truly great. Gran Platinum is butter baby! Sorry, but other Tequilas just don't have it.

Patron is pretty good until you try a few others and then it pails in comparison to some really good tequila's. Sorry to rain on anyone's parade but Patron isn't as great as many think. For a similar price, Don Julio Reposado is a lot better...

A really wonderful friend of mine gave me the (overpriced) 375 ml bottle of Blanco for Christmas. I love her and she knew that I used to go through Tequila at an alarming rate. However, she is a wine drinker and wouldn't know a blanco from a tres anos. This tastes okay. It is not as rough around the edges as many people have claimed. It is nowhere near as smooth as a reposado and it shouldn't be, but the truth will be in the pudding...or better yet, in if you can consume this without getting hurt the next day. Frankly, yes, if you enjoy the taste of Tequila then you want a product with less aging. However, if you prefer a "kind spirit" that will not kick your anejo the next day after having too much..that remains to be seen. Herradura Reposado will always be my first and foremost. I recently changed jobs and as I was packing up the contents of my desk I gave my beloved Herradura keychain to a colleague. With the instructions that he break down and try something other than Cuervo (Spanish for "urine of a thousand clowns". Go on buddy, live a little. love and claws to all who enjoy 100% agave without getting kicked in the cajones. Patch Logan

OK tequila for Gringos...

Ask for this stuff in mexico... they will laugh! It is only sold in america, and its god awful. Don't be sucked in by its marketing ploy.

Overrated. The only reason people are drinking this is because rap stars are drinking it. It's the Cristal and Hennessey of tequila.

For those who do not have the opportunity to try other tequilas....this is the americanized....kind of like taco bell....don't waste your money!

Patron is above average, but it is 20$ a bottle over priced. Don Julio is a far superior tasting tequila at about the same cost. Not even a close contest.

Not the worst I've tried, but not really good. Very highly overrated and overpriced, only from their agressive advertising, that typical Americans fall for, and false word of mouth that it's one of the best (as with Jose Cuervo). There are so many better tequilas out there, even for less money!

Patron Anejo is the best Tequila that I've ever tried. The silver is mighty fine, too.

Patron is decent tequila, certainly not in the ranks of El Tesoro or Herradura. To me, it has a chemical taste similar to that in Cabo Wabo. And when you consider its price, it certainly isnt a good value at all. I find Patron is favored by tequila neophytes and wannabes, who don't know that there is no Patron distillery. Its basically a marketing company founded by hair-gel tycoon Paul Mitchell, whose buyers take others' product and bottle it themselves. Patron reminds me of Starbucks -- not the best product certainly, though it has somewhat raised the bar from what people are usually accustomed to (Cuervo Gold, the Folgers of tequila)

With the exception of Chinaco and Cabo Wabo, Patron Silver is the best Blanco I've had, albeit slightly rough bite! Enjoy!

guarentee not to have a hangover

Over priced.

Patron Silver is the best tequila available, bar none!

I don´t like the taste of Patron, it´s not quite smooth...

They need to go back to basics.

it'sgood not anything to get too excited about there are lot's of better tequila's out there ask a bartender to give you something good and try differnt types to find out what you like

One night I made the mistake of drinking Patron. I say mistake only because I refuse to drink any other tequila besides it now and that hurts the old bank account. I think if they made the bottle less involved they could lower the price, but I am a college student, Im not supposed to be drinking Patron now anyway.

Patron rocks!

This is the only tequila I drink. It is 100%. It has a sweet mellow taste. It's the only tequila I can do shots with.

Patron is top of the line smooth. Patron is a very potent brand. I think the corportaion should lower the price. It's too expensive, needs to lower price of bottle.

Me and Tequila Patron go back a long time. Ever since I was seventeen and the guys in our neighborhood would go over to a friend's house who breeds pit bulls. We would watch sports and late night videos and just kick it. We never drank another type of Tequila besides Patron. One day we were trying to think of a name for one pit bull that no one bought when I, the genius, came up with Patron(Spanish for boss). That dog grew up to be the ugliest but sickest pit bull I've ever seen and my neighbor bought it.
