Tequila

It's delicious.... when I am in the mood for it anyway, which is less and less as I get older

Makes sense. Patron sucks compared to so many other tequilas in the same price range

Take the cheapest silver tequila you can produce, throw it in a pretty bottle, buy a bunch of ads in Maxim, Playboy and FHM and hire playmates to host your exclusive parties. It's a proven business model. You pay $60 for a $15 tequila with about $20 worth of marketing, meaning $25 profit straight into John DeJoria's checking account.

Jay Z, Puffdaddy, Sammy Hagar and Jimmy Buffett have all done the same thing.

With all due respect, Patron is a company that was started in 1989 by Americans to make tons of money off of Americans. Sure their tequila is made in Jalisco like all tequilas as is required by Mexican law but it might as well be manufactured by Walmart or McDonalds.

If you go to any of the tourist areas of Mexico you'll see that Patron is generally served as a well drink. A premium there is usually Don Julio or Herradura.

Drink what you like by all means but please don't limit yourself to products just because they have a larger marketing budget. There are considerably better tequilas available in the US and most are cheaper than the Patron stuff.

I know. I drink it because I like the taste. I'm not concerned with how big their advertising budget is, I've been drinking it a long time.

Patron is for 30k a year millionaires and amateurs that want to look like pros.

With all due respect, I disagree.

That is certainly the crowd they market their product to.


I can't do tequila unless it is in a margarita. Even then, it's limited. When my coworker in Houston comes in, we have to plan what bars we go to around their tequila selection. If they don't have Herradura, we can't go there. And he doesn't drink anything but tequila.

ive recently developed a taste for tequila, Patron silver to be exact. tequila has always tasted horrible to me, regardless the quality but last year i was given a shot of patron and it was like something i have never tasted before. It was great! Makes me want to fight though? Im a calm, super laid back kinda guy but that shit makes me want to split some wigs so i have to stay away.

Best for shots:



costco has it once in a while for 88, liquor stores sell it for 120+

[Vertnut]

Even if its $125 a shot. I went to a mexican resturant in Old Town while in San.Diego that had a $125 tequila shot. hopes its worth that much.

That better include a hooker.
