The oldest tequila Patrón has ever released, Patrón Extra Añejo 7 Años was largely discovered by accident. During a survey of the aging room at the Patrón distillery in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, thirty barrels of tequila were found tucked away.

-Whisky Advocate Gordon & MacPhail bottled a 21 year old expression from Scotland's northernmost mainland distillery for the U.S. market earlier this year. Sweet on the nose, with honey and vanilla; fleetingly, stewed apricots and peaches, plus a hint of caramel. Intensely focused, sweet tropical fruits on the palate, with barley sugar. Becoming nuttier, with an edge of mixed spices. Spice fading to milk chocolate in the medium-length finish, with just a suggestion of brine.-

The rich sweetness of Oban 18-Year-Old is perfectly balanced with the most mysterious of flavors: a dry hint of Sea Salt.
