Not just normal Silver Patron, Gran Patron amigo!

patron box 1Look closely to the picture to the right and you will realize that is the box to a limited production of a premium tequila so called Gran Patron.  Supposedly there are only 50 available in California.  No, I did not have the chance to try some or even get the box as a souvenir but did manage to take some pictures with my phone.

There is nothing to review except for the box itself.  The box itself appears all too self-important as it is housing a beverage like the elixir of life but instead, it is holding a ultra-premium tequila.  At this particular hotel, the Gran Patron is priced at a meager $125 per shot, not even good old Johnny Walker Blue can touch that.

I never enjoyed the taste or aftertaste of tequila as the aroma is too odorous for my tastes so my preference is usually a chilled Silver Patron shot with a lemon wedge and salt for a perfect shot.  However, at $125 per shot, you ought to sip this out of a sifter like a cognac or aged whiskey… the only way… NEAT.

I suppose I can try to bribe the bartender or manager for a shot of this, but will it be worth it?  I really do not know and honestly, how good can tequila taste?  Anyone else out there can vouch for a great tasting tequila worth sipping on, please let me know.

    Tequila is the best alcohol on the planet. This is the stuff dreams are made of, and Patron of any kind is worth the money. I started off as a youngster drinking crap tequilas for around 25 dollars for the bottle, then slowly my salary increased, as well as my taste for finer spirits. I picked up 3 bottles of the Gran Patron. Women love to drink the stuff, its got virtually no bite, and this tequila is best served neat with nothing to corrupt it.
