Patrón 100 Silver

There's a buttery smoothness underneath that sweet softens everything out. Citrus comes through next, bright but not sour. And right at the finish, a touch of pepper gives it a little kick. FINISH: The finish brings back that sweet agave, lingering nice and smooth. There's a buttery softness that coats the palate all the way through.
