Patrón
Patrón is a renowned liquor brand celebrated for producing high-quality tequila, particularly premium and ultra-premium varieties. Founded in 1989 by John Paul DeJoria and Martin Crowley, Patrón Tequila has grown into a symbol of excellence in the world of agave spirits.
What sets Patrón apart is its commitment to producing tequila using traditional methods with a focus on artisanal craftsmanship. The brand primarily uses 100% Weber blue agave, sourced from the Jalisco region of Mexico, to create its tequila. The agave is harvested by hand, and the piñas (the core of the agave plant) are roasted in brick ovens, crushed, fermented, and distilled to produce a smooth, flavorful tequila.
Patrón offers a range of tequila expressions, including the flagship Patrón Silver, which is unaged and known for its crisp, clean taste. Other varieties like Patrón Reposado and Patrón Añejo are aged to develop richer, more complex flavors.
The brand's distinctive bottle design, with its hand-blown glass and cork stopper, adds to its premium image. Patrón has also ventured into flavored tequilas and liqueurs to cater to evolving tastes.
Over the years, Patrón has gained a strong following among tequila enthusiasts and cocktail aficionados. It is often sipped neat or used in classic cocktails like the Margarita. Patrón's dedication to quality, sustainability, and philanthropy has solidified its status as one of the world's most respected tequila brands.
