tequilas Patrón Añejo is a delicate blend of uniquely aged tequilas, all aged in small white oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months. Similar to winemaking, each vintage of Patrón Añejo is carefully blended to produce a smooth and sweet tasting tequila.

As a premium tequila, Patrón is made with 100 percent Blue Weber Agave, a recipe developed in an era drowning in “mixto” tequila (essentially cheap swill produced by mixing distilled agave with up to 49 percent rough, flavorless firewater that can be made from any old starch you like).

PATRÓN is made from only the finest, highest-quality Weber Blue Agave, which gives it its characteristic smoothness and layers of flavor. The agave is stripped to reveal the heart of the plant, the 'piña', which is then hand-chopped, baked and crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone Tahona wheel and a roller mill.

vintage Tequila añejo is aged 1 to 4 years in oak barrels (añejo means “old” or “vintage” in Spanish). It tastes richer, with notes of vanilla and cinnamon. Añejo shines when drunk straight and on the rocks, so you can taste the nuances of its character.

Extra añejo is a style of aged tequila. Extra añejo means the spirit must be aged for more than three years, typically in oak barrels. Most distillers use a variety of wood barrels to age extra añejo tequila, but the most popular are American and French oak.

The blue agave plant is the hero in the making of patron tequila. The fruit of this plant, piña, is fermented to make tequila. This process takes about 8-10 years for the fruit to reach the perfect ripeness. So, due to the long years and efforts, Patron tequila is not your regular spirit but a premium liquor.
