About Patron Silver Tequila
The Patrón Spirits Company was launched in 1989 by John Paul DeJoira and Martin Crowley. With its inception, came the world’s first ultra-premium tequila. A new state-of-the-art facility was constructed in Jalisco in 2002, to facilitate its profound reception. It became the first spirits brand in its class to sell one million cases.
Francisco Alcaraz is the Master Distiller & Blender behind the recipe for the Mexican spirit. Produced at the Hacienda de Patrón, the distillery sources agaves from Los Altos in Jalisco. Their signature line up is created using a hybrid technique: half of the agaves are traditionally tahona-crushed, while the other half are modern roller-mill crushed agaves. The freshly milled desert succulents are slow-roasted in an oven, before being fermented in wooden vats.
The unaged Patrón Silver Tequila expression is made in small batches from 100% blue Weber agaves, employing that signature dual process that has made the premium brand famous. Bottled at 80 proof in attractive, hand-blown, and individually numbered bottles, this Mexican spirit exudes class. Its pure and crisp profile is rich in agave and citrus notes, making it perfect for sipping as well as a delicious cocktail base.
