Patrón Reposado
The Patrón that's had a little rest: at least two months in oak barrels, long enough for vanilla and caramel, but short enough to let the cooked agave take center stage. Smooth enough to drink neat, rounded enough for a Tequila Old Fashioned.
What two months in oak does to agave
Reposado simply means a tequila that has spent some time aging in wood after distillation. Patrón Reposado starts out as the same tequila as the Silver, handcrafted from 100% blue agave and distilled in small batches in copper stills at Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco. It then ages for at least two months in various oak barrels.
That short aging period changes more than you might think. The wood adds a light golden color and layers vanilla and caramel over the agave, while softening the Silver's citrus and pepper. Compared to the Añejo, which ages for over a year, the Reposado remains fresher and more agave-forward. That makes it the most versatile bottle in the range: great neat, but robust enough for a cocktail, too.
At a glance
Agave with a layer of vanilla and caramel
Agave and wood
Cooked agave leads with a first hint of vanilla and light oak. The Silver's citrus is still there, but softer.
Round and slightly sweet
Rounder than the Silver, with caramel and vanilla softening the peppery agave. The tahona juice gives it body.
Warm and smooth
A warm, rounded finish with vanilla and oak, and a hint of pepper at the end.
Flavor profile of Patrón Reposado neat, at room temperature. A large ice cube makes it smoother and sweeter.
Sipping neat, over ice, or stirred
Reposado calls for slow sipping. Taste it neat first, then try it with ice or in a cocktail.
Sipping neat
3 cl in a tulip-shaped tasting glass at room temperature. Smell first, then take a small sip and let it rest on your tongue for a moment: first agave, then vanilla and caramel.
Tasting glasses →On the rocks
5 cl over one large ice cube in a heavy tumbler, with a strip of orange peel. The ice softens the wood notes and brings out the sweetness.
Tumblers →Tequila Old Fashioned
60 ml Patrón Reposado, 7.5 ml agave syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura; stir with ice and pour over a large ice cube. Garnish with orange peel.
