Patrón
Patron tequila is made using only high-quality raw ingredients to develop deep, complex flavours.
Agave ripens slowly every eight or so years, Jimadors take great care to find and uproot only those Weber Blue Agave with optimal sugar content stripping away the leaves to reveal the heart of the plant, the piña.
After being hand-chopped piñas are baked in small brick ovens to ensure they’re cooked evenly. Then, crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone Tahona wheel and a roller mill.
The resulting mixture is fermented for three days, distilled and, in some cases, aged in handmade barrels. Two months at minimum for Patron Reposado and up to ten years for Extra Añejo 10.
The entire tequila-making process takes place at Hacienda Patrón.
