"Sorbet-inspired vodka with natural fruit flavor, containing subtly sweet, juicy mango notes, perfumed passion fruit, ripe orange, and a cool, refreshing finish."

"Dark amber-brown. Sweet medicinal, spice aromas. Notably sweet and thick on the palate with complex herbs and cinnamon lingering. Quite clean through the finish for all the complex flavors present."

"Initial nosing passes reveal a zesty and mildly spicy aroma that’s focused on the cereal grain; the bouquet registers on the leaner, drier side of neutral grain spirits and as such is in direct opposition to other creamier, sweeter Dutch vodkas. Palate entry is moderately sweet, almost smoky; at midpalate, a flash of black licorice tempts the taste buds, then recedes, allowing the sweet, nearly smoky/pipe tobacco leaf taste to dominate." 90-95 pts.

"Reminiscent of pear, peach, flowers, fresh herbs. Soft and light on the palate with a potpourri of attractive fragrances. Displays a sense of elegance and grace. Fruity and lively at the finish."

"The complex bouquet contains rich malt and fruity aromas with just a hint of peatiness. The palate is rewarded with a unique combination of attractive flavours – a balance of apples, pears and malt, with a gentle hint of nuttiness enhanced by the subtle use of sherry wood. The result is a wonderfully rich and elegant taste producing a long and satisfying finish."

"Patron XO Cafe is an extraordinary blend of ultra-premium Patron Silver tequila and the pure, natural essence of fine coffee. The taste is dry, not sweet as with most low-proof coffee liqueurs with notes of chocolate and vanilla. Patron XO Cafe is excellent for sipping, as a premium cocktail ingredient, or as a unique and delicious dessert topping."

"Clear. Sweet aromas of tangerine gelatin candy, citrus frosting and delicate juniper follow through on a smooth, silky entry to a dryish medium body with rice candy, orange salt water taffy, mild pine sap notes. Finishes with a dry-yet-fruity dreamsicle stick-like, herb, and wet stone fade. A little confected, but very nice and highly approachable."
