"Chocolate-covered crushed hazelnuts and almonds aromas with a deft touch of mint and coconut. A rich, satiny entry leads to a plush, moderately sweet medium-full body of toasted coconut, delicate marzipan, mint leaf, and creamy nougat flavors. Finishes effortlessly with roasted walnuts and a breath of whisky. Remarkable texture and smoothness. A classic cream liqueur."

"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."

"The dominant aromatic feature is caramel. The palate entry features the cream/dairy element as much as caramel and nuts; the midpalate highlights the cream, the caramel flavoring, the spirit and the gentle spice. Concludes smooth, satiny and properly creamy with greater emphasis on the spice than the caramel." 90-95 pts.

"A leafy spearmint perfume leaps from the glass in the nosing stages. The palate entry is refreshingly minty, creamy and mildly chocolaty; the midpalate features the mint/chocolate flavoring without eclipsing the cream and the spice. Finishes gracefully, silkily and smooth." 90-95 pts.

"The smooth taste of Bailey's lovingly blended with the rich, roasted flavour of coffee."

"Tropical fruit, citrusy and mango-like aromas. Light, acidic and very tart at palate entry; the midpalate is refreshing, intensely juicy and almost sour. Aftertaste leans heavily on the tartness." 85-89 pts.

"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."

"Very deep blackish-mahogany hue. Intense coconut, coffee, and chocolate aromas. A viscous, spirity attack leads to a full-bodied palate with marked sweetness. Explosively flavorful finish."
