Padrón
By Benjamin Charles Brown
Classic Padrón Family Reserve excellence with a creamier, more caramel-forward profile than other FR blends: coffee-liqueur first third, toasted nuts midsection, butterscotch finish. 90/100. One mid-smoke draw hiccup, quickly fixed with a Perfect Draw tool, was the only surprise.
