Bottle: LOTE REPR 0071117, 1888008, 07:13, Certification of Hand Bottling No. 2997R 2W Appearance: Marigold satin Nose: Cooked and raw agave, vanilla, honey, citrus, orange, oak, baking spice, cinnamon, allspice, brown sugar, dry earth, mocha, black pepper, alcohol, butter, and minerality…very agave-forward Palate: Cooked and raw agave, oak, whiskey, barrel spice, molasses, vanilla, honey, butter, mocha, mushroom, ginger, baking spice, clove, anise, mint, alcohol, black pepper, and dry earth…some fun flavors beyond the expected Finish: Molasses, black pepper, citrus, cedar, and wood shavings…long and warming with a viscous mouthfeel Overall: This reposado is really fun to drink. It’s got a bit of a bite, but the heat and other elements are pretty well balanced. It’s agave forward, while still allowing the barrel aging to impart some sweetness and spice. There’s complexity, without being overwhelming. I hope Patron decides to bring the Roca line back into production. Until then, I’ll enjoy this while it lasts.

The aroma greets you with an inviting warmth, blending cinnamon, brown sugar, and subtle minerality with soft ethyl undertones. Clove and baking spices lend a cozy depth, while vanilla, red apple reminiscent of red licorice, and a light hint of sarsaparilla. A great nose On the palate, the flavors seamlessly mirror the inviting aroma, yet offer a delightful twist. The familiar notes are enhanced by a tangy fruitiness, sweet cooked agave, peppermint, wood, and a gourmand interplay of sweetness, spiciness and citrus. The dry down completes the experience with lingering fruity and oaky sweetness, punctuated by a heated pepperiness that clings softly to the sides of the tongue. The overall composition is better than expected.

I had to buy on the secondary market as this is no longer made. Back in the day it was readily available I wasn’t using TMM. I wanted this and the Anejo to complete my collection. This has a pleasant nose with light cooked agave and oak I get vanilla and caramel, too. Nice nose of honey. Bit of a whiskey aroma. The taste is pleasant as well. Cooked agave, pepper, oak, vanilla and caramel. I also that the honey that I got on the nose. A light of alcohol on the finish. I hear Roca is coming back. I really hope Patron sticks to this method as it really is a good option and used to be widely available at restaurants and bars that don’t carry other good tequilas. Dinged in value because it is expensive if you can find it.

A little pricey for a Reposado. Definitely better than their main line. Light cooked agave and wood influences. Finishes nicely.

Story: Tahona crushed and higher proofed line from Patron. Aroma: Sweet agave, a bit of melon. I’m getting honey, and then that melon note keeps coming back. A little bit of spice, cinnamon and maybe allspice. A little vanilla, almost like an afterthought, and something “green”, almost want to call it a vegetal note but that seems almost off. Definitely some ethanol, but it’s a relatively smooth ethanol. Palate: Agave and melon come straight through, and the vanilla is coming through significantly more than the nose would suggest. A light butterscotch, and some barrel spice. Surprisingly little heat for 42%, and it’s not as sweet as I expected from the nose. That honey and melon note lingers for me. Verdict: Very good, I’ll be keeping at least a half size of This around. I’m pleased with it, it’s soft and flavorful, traditionally made, and additive free. Definitely a clear step above standard Patron, and the price tag reflects that. It’s very tasty and at least worth a try at a tequila bar, or shelling out for a half size. Very curious to try the añejo next.

Nose: Not an assertive nose, but interesting. Light butterscotch aroma, faint candle wax, tame barrel spice and citrus. A hint of mint Flavors: Much more happening on the palate. Lively pepper and barrel spice, with some heat involved. Sweet agave kissed with butterscotch and dark Oaxacan coffee notes. A touch of bittersweet chocolate. Finish is abbreviated but pleasing.

A lot better thank the regular patron. Not to bad. Wouldn’t pay the money for it a lot of other great repos for lower cost Taste of vanilla, oak, slight citrus maybe from acidic fruit.

Not too crazy about this one. Smell: I'm getting some agave followed by alcohol. Taste: cooked agave, peppery A little burn at the end. Is ok but not great

Boom!!! Agave for days but a short finish, wish this one lingered a bit longer.

The nose was average- a touch of agave, pepper, oak. It was mellow on the pallet. More of the same but muted. Soft, short finish. Dissipated quickly. I bought this for $40 in Michigan but usually this retails for twice that price.

Buttery nose after a tough alcohol process smell. had to let it set for a bit. astringent taste, but fell away to reveal pepper, citrus and a little vanilla. the Continental mid town Philadelphia, pa $? champagne glass udon soup

A lot of sweet agave and honey on the nose, with floral notes. Weak entry for me, but comes on strong mid-palate, which is the best taste. The finish is a bit too astringent and bitter. If some of the sweetness from the nose appeared on the tongue this would be nice. As it is, I find that it lacks balance and complexity. Too expensive to buy or recommend.

This tequila was tasted out of a small snifter. I could pick up some smokiness (probably from the charring of the barrel). I also picked up some citrus in its flavor profile. Its higher proof leaves a nice, light burn on the palate. I bought this bottle on clearance, but its retail price is out of my range. Still, I'd recommend it just to try a 100% tahona milled tequila, as there are not that many out there.

A bit subtle and mellow on the nose, with agave and alcohol. Tastes better then it smells. Agave and slight green apple with a good bit of alcohol. Nice finish, would drink again.

Like straw color Oily legs Earthy Agave nose Agave semi oily vegetal slight heat Long smooth finish

Some spice sweetness, and agave on the nose. Pepper, spice, and some agave on the mouth. Spicy finish. Light on wood agave goes away.

Tasted blind. Very light on the nose as well as on the palate. It isn't unpleasant, but it doesn't taste much of anything either. So much so that it really isn't sensible to me trying fingerprinting it. It is as if it were over distilled or over filtered. If I consider the relationship between how unremarkable it is and how overpriced, I think I'm left with little to no doubt that this must be Roca Reposado.

This is another unique and very complex tequila. On the nose I get lots of peppermint and hints of clay and agave. The flavor is very minty and then finishes with almost a pineapple note. The finish lingers for a while but is fairly mild.

Vanilla aroma, somewhat bland/watered down flavor, mild lingering finish

Aromas of agave, wood, citrus and butter, The combination of baked agave, citrus and butter lead to a smooth and elegant finish

Rated blind after aeration. The nose is decent and the first pop of flavor is good, but a mineral undercurrent quickly appears and overpowers the flavor and finish. Unpleasant. The high pricetag delivers a double-whammy with a low value score.

Relatively light aroma. Primary note is floral/Rose with a bit of agave. Very smooth flavor with a strong cinnamon taste coming through after initial blank slate. This one seems overly distilled, filtered or purified. Not much in the way of taste at all. Short finish.

Tried this on a roadtrip. I prefer the Blanco. Hard to find, but at least it's made well.

My 150th and this one is Very hard to find. Seems Patron stoped making it. To bad as it is the best they had when comparing to how it was priced, not what I actually paid for it. Super impressive finish and a Mild nose which I like. Good job on this one. Working to get the Roca Patron badge. It will be expensive:-)
