Patron is one of the more popular Premium Tequilas on the market outside of Mexico and the most common sold in resturants, lounges and bars. Silver (white) and Reposado (gold) are the most common, where as the Añejo is a bit harder to find since it is an aquired taste. All three are a fine drink and worthy of the higher price you pay, but the popularity Patron is not because it's the best, it is popular because it's the best marketed Premium Tequila. All three varieties are actually the blandest/safest when you compare them to other Premium Tequilas of each type. I am not saying thats a bad thing, I enjoy Patron very much, enough to buy many bottles over the years. Where as most Whiskey, Vodka, or Scotch drinkers stick to one or two brands, a Tequila drinker is more like a Wine drinker and likes the variety of subtle flavors within their perfered types.

Nice collection of shots for the MOP, Roger - interesting variety of angles! It just occurred to me while reading your information about Patron that I spelled something wrong in my recent dog post. The dog's owner told me his name was Patron and she mentioned tequila. I'd never heard of it, and assumed it was spelled Petrone ;)) Guess I better go fix it....thanks! lookagain · 2011-05-02: 18:08

Nice shot of the bottle..I can tell it's not regular glass in #4..be careful of that stuff ( I guess you know that after all the years) :-)) Does it have a worm in it? heehee NellyBly · 2011-05-02: 18:15

Great post - I'm sure it's not the only product where the brand value is more than just the quality of the product. Jarvo · 2011-05-02: 18:21

You can never go wrong with using the hard stuff for a photo set. Good take on the MOP. smbunation · 2011-05-02: 23:55

It's all beyond me -- I just don't like alcoholic beverages -- guess I never grew up... But thanks for reminding me of the MOP and you certainly did it justice -- nice photos. ????? · 2011-05-03: 00:45

If you say so :-) I'll trust ya. Very interesting on how much time and expense they put into a bottle. IShuttertoThink · 2011-05-03: 01:09

WOw well done Roger mystic1 · 2011-05-03: 01:23

I had no idea drinking Tequila was so complicated...for me it's just lemon.. salt.. and down the hatch.. what a peasant! Annbramwell · 2011-05-03: 01:40

Set extraordinaire !!! ????? · 2011-05-05: 04:19

I must confess that I know little about alcohol, but I do like Tequeila. I will have to start paying attention to brand and subtle taste. Do they have Tequeila tastings as they do wine? RayNvb · 2011-05-05: 04:37

Nice pictures Great angles, details, colours:) Well done ! helys · 2011-05-05: 05:59

Excellent shots and thanks for the information, I really like the shot of the close up of just the bee, fantastic. Andarta · 2011-05-05: 08:36

And there was me thinking that all tequilas were the same! At least you've still got the bottle to look at. busybee36 · 2011-05-05: 12:57
