Tequila Patrón Añejo: Handcrafted for exceptional quality.

Many people consider Tequila Patrón Añejo to be the finest tequila in the world.

This beverage is the result of an artisanal production process that takes care of the smallest detail to achieve exceptional quality.

Tequilana weber blue agave, from the highlands region of Jalisco, is the main ingredient of this tequila. The juice of this plant is distilled in small quantities and aged for more than 12 months in French, Hungarian and American oak barrels.

Unique treasures: numbered bottles.

Each bottle of Tequila Patrón Añejo is different and unique, as it is individually handcrafted. In addition, the bottle is hand-blown and individually numbered. For this reason, Patron Añejo is a real gem for collectors and lovers of good tequila.

Tracing excellence: the meticulous process of making Patrón Tequila

The process of making Tequila Patrón Añejo is meticulous and careful.

It all starts at Hacienda Patrón, located in Jalisco, where Agave Azul Weber is grown. The care and selection of the plants are essential to achieve the desired quality in the final product.

The expert Jimadores, with their trained eye, select the plants at their best moment, when they have reached their point of maximum maturity, around eight years of age.

The winemaking process: from harvesting to fermentation.

Once the plant is harvested, it is cleaned with the help of a Coa. The heart of the Agave or “Pineapple”, is baked in brick ovens in a homogeneous way, to achieve its perfect cooking.

The cooked pineapples are then crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone crushing wheel, which extracts the juice from the plant, which is then fermented for 72 hours.

Fermentation is a key process in the production of Patrón Añejo Tequila, since the flavor and aroma of the final product depend to a great extent on it.

The tequila is then distilled and, depending on the version, bottled or aged in handcrafted oak barrels. The minimum aging time is 12 months for Patrón Añejo, the distillery’s most aged tequila.

The end result of the Patrón Añejo Tequila production process is a beverage that combines the traditional agave flavor with notes of oak, vanilla, raisins and honey.
