Patron vs. Cabo
Can one tequila really outweigh another to a Canadian's palette?
My passion to learn, understand and acquire a taste for this 100% blue agave derivative came about at a Mexican restaurant downtown Toronto. Alone, hungry after a day at the Yoga conference, I asked the right owner at the right time to explain to me the difference about his private reserve of over 90 tequilas. Well, since that day nearly 2 years ago, I've been sampling, shaking and spitting.
Tonight, have have been introduced to Cabo - paired beside Patron (only descent tequila on hand), to taste some great similarities and differences. Instantly, I found it sweeter and a little lighter. But paired side by side, Patron still came out on top. But doesn't come close to Don Julio or Corzo. Then, I hit up Google for some advice - looks like I have a lot of tequila tasking to refine this agave palette! Compare your tequilas!
But the bottles are worth a mention! The bottles are so rad! I have a small collection growing of flawless alcohol bottles that should be reused for, something. I think one Patron bottle will be used for a small terrarium or even a fish bowl. Would that be cruel?
