Review: Roca Patron Silver Tequila

by Jeff Ellingson

Roca Patron Silver Tequila was released July 2014.  The English translation for roca, is rock.  Roca Patron it is named for the two ton volcanic stone Tahona wheel used to crush the single estate grown agave that is first chopped in half and steam baked in small brick ovens for 79 hours.  This is the old school method that most distilleries have replaced with a more modern roller mill process.  The juice and some of the agave fiber are fermented together in wooden vats for 72 hours.  The tequila is double distilled in small batch copper pot stills.The aroma is earthy agave, cooked zucchini, pepper, and citrus with a hint of mint and olive.  The sweet citrus and bright vanilla entry is joined by earthy agave and zucchini flavor, building to a tart lime juice and lime peel peak.  It fades dry and lightly bitter, finishing oily with a long warm peppery sting.  So how does Roca Patron Silver compare to Patron Silver?  Patron Silver is made from 100% blue agave grown on the same single estate.  While some of the juice is sourced from Tahona crushed agave, it is blended with juice extracted by the modern roller mill process.  Comparing the two tequila’s side by side and I feel Patron Silver has more fresh Highland terrier agave, and citrus flavor, with less heat, pepper, and vanilla taste.  Roca Patron Silver is drier and finishes lightly bitter.  That said the two share some flavor characteristics, but I prefer Patron Silver.
