Patron Silver is a great silver tequila. The aroma is that which is often present with other silver tequilas. It smells like that of agave, but not to an extreme extent. I wish that there was more there.
The initial taste is very smooth (when neat) and slides neatly down the hatch. The body is nice but I would have preferred more "wholesomeness." The body goes well with the taste and form and I always enjoy this tequila. I really enjoy Patron with shots or maybe neat. I don't think I would put this tequila in a margarita unless I had a large supply of it. Patron Silver seems to work best for me in shots or quick drinks. An anejo would be a better bet when it comes to sipping and enjoying over the long term.

Overall, Patron Silver is a great tequila and priced efficiently. The bottle is designed with elegance and simplicity in mind. Small lines and other small shapes create a simple, yet elegant design.

I've mentioned this in my other Patron reviews - I think the brand receives lower marks because of the popularity/hype associated with it. I like the presentation of their line - very distinct, yet not overdone; classy, but not pretentious.

There is an alcohol presence to the aroma as there often is with a silver. The agave is present, but I wish it was a bit more evident. There are slight floral and earthy tones as well, but neither very distinct. While the finish isn't overly dramatic this often leaves my mouth a bit numb for a while - sometimes I can even feel it the next day. This isn't an incredibly complex drink, but more on the crisp, light and easily enjoyable side.

I most recently purchased this with a bottle of Corazon blanco and felt like this one was slightly more pleasurable to drink. If you're going to mix a high-end tequila, or if you prefer silvers, I would recommend this. But if you're just looking to sip a great tequila I'd go with an anejo any day.

Tasted on 07/05/08 out of Double ball glass. I don't feel let down, yet I wasn't WOWED either. I definitely don't see myself buying a bottle of this. As a matter of fact, I was 'forced' into drinking this because it was the ONLY tequila they had at the bar I was at.

Aroma: A bit difficult to detect. On the subtle side definitely. Hints of earth and agave.
Initial taste: A thin mouth feel, on the tip of the tongue there was slight bitterness.
Body: A subtle body of agave, earth, and spices. I like my bodies to be bolder.
Finish: Of short duration, with no alcohol burn.

In my opinion Patron Silver is highly overrated. I find the flavor to be mediocre. It hasn't been a smooth drink for me and it kind of left me with a bad after taste. Because of the Patron name it has gotten a lot of hype. However, from what I've seen the majority of the people drinking it are either drunk college girls or guys trying to show off their wallets... All and all I feel that for the money there are much better tequilas out there.

Patron Silver Tequila, NOM 1492. I enjoyed this crystal clear spirit in a small Cognac snifter where it released a clean, earthy agave nose accompanied with light alcohol. It initially had a hot, peppery taste but softened into flavors of agave, sweet citrus & spice. This light bodied tequila soon opened up with more hints of alcohol, spice & a sweet aftertaste that followed all the way through a medium duration finish. There was also an open sensation due in part to the alcohol which was present through the entire tasting. I thought this tequila could be smoother considering the Patron name & the price. B/B+
