Roca Patron Anejo Tequila (750ml)

"Roca" is Patron's new premium selection, named after the Spanish word for “rock” (roca), "...a reference to the giant volcanic-stone wheel traditionally used to crush the cooked agave." Originally, manufacturers beat the cooked agave pinas with mallets to break them up once they were soft and cool. Then they moved to the tahona, or grinding wheel, operated by mules, oxen or horses (nowadays more likely by a tractor). At Patron, a two-ton volcanic stone tahona is employed. The Anejo is aged about 14 months.

Other reviews... Remarkably light for an añejo, look for a bracingly peppery aroma and pale straw hue. Feather-soft on the palate, look for -pineapple and jalapeño pepper, fading to a pleasing vanilla and spice finish. 44% Alc./Vol. 93 points - www.wineenthusiast.com
