Patron - Pricey Tequila For Cocktails
John Paul Dejoria, who was once homeless and began working as a busboy at the age of 17. He eventually founded his own billion dollar company called Patron that provides alcohol beverages for bars around America with their headquarters in Southern California . In 1989 John joined forces with Martin crawley to create this innovative business idea which would change how people order drinks everywhere across North America!
Tasting Notes On Patron
On the mouth it displays a good texture, rich in agave flavors with just enough ripe fruitiness. The finish is long and warming due to more peppery notes that come through on each sip as well after an initial bite has been experienced during drinking where sweetness washes out any possible tartness from this clean spirit.
Known for its traditional flavors, Patron is a great choice if you're looking to avoid additives and sweeteners.
Patron Blanco is not the best sipperbut it gets much better when with added as ice, as it tunes down the alcohol and those peppery notes.
Due to its price, this isn't something I would use in cocktails due to expectations from other superior products such as margaritas or bloodys which cost less than half of what's being charged for tequila shots here at my local dive bar!
Patron seems to be a good choice for those who want an easy drinking tequila, but it's not going break any records.
Some Notes On Patron
The Patron Tequila line includes a variety of flavors and strengths, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV). The company crafts its tequilas using the dual method: half is made by crushing raw agave hearts with mechanical roller mills while other half uses large tahona stones for blending purposes; then they are later bottled together as one product.
This ensures consistency in quality from batch-to bottle because each distillery has been trained under strict guidelines set out by Dejoria and Crawley who founded this business back 1989 after leaving their mark on America's Tequila Industry. Bacardi is the parent company of Patron.
I'm not too excited about using this for cocktails. It's more expensive than other bottles of Tequila, so if you're going to use it for making cocktails then I would rather go with something cheaper.
I think the price tag is off-putting when considering how much could be used in various types cocktail recipes.
