Review: Patsch Tequila Blanco
Patsch Tequila Blanco was launched in the US July 2021 by Martin Schapira and Steven Davis. After a decade long search for a tequila that was equal parts quality and flavor the two friends spend months visiting distillers until they arrived at Tequila Las Americas and fell in love with what has become Patsch Tequila. This additive free distillery crafts some of our highest ranked tequilas including Hermosa, IXA, Don Abraham, 123 Organic, and El Sativo. Patsch is German for “smacked in all the right ways”. It is crafted from 100% organic blue weber agave grown for 7 years in the valley of Jalisco. Once trimmed and cut in half the pinas are brick oven roasted for 24 hours. The agave then cools for 12 hours with the oven doors open. The juice is extracted using mechanical roller mills and then fermented naturally without any yeast for 72 hours. After a double distillation the tequila is hand bottled in a unique hand blown glass bottle with a glass knuckle handle and spiked cap. The aroma leads with cooked agave. Additional time brings out lime, pepper, and vanilla. The sweet agave entry is joined by roasted agave and citrus building to a lime, vanilla, and agave peak. It fades with a dusting of pepper, vanilla, caramel, and lemon. The finishes leaves gentle warmth, cooked agave, black pepper, and lemon zest taste. The bottle design alone made this a must buy. The liquid inside made this a must keep buying.
