The Origin
Developed by Academia Patrón alongside spirits educators and industry leaders, this tasting wheel aggregates notes from thousands of professional evaluations to create an accessible, inclusive sensory standard for agave spirits.
The Architecture
Built from the inside out, the wheel organizes aromas according to sensory weight: from light, ethereal floral and green notes at the top, down to deep, richer wood, dessert, and chemical notes at the base.
The Flavor Landscape
The wheel spans eight primary sensory pillars: Flowers (white, purple, yellow), Plants & Agave (herbal, green, savory), Earth (peppery, minerally, musty), Wood (fresh, burnt), Spice (baking, medicinal), Dessert (chocolate, gooey, nutty), Fruit (tropical, stone, orchard, citrus), and Chemical characteristics.
