An Exceptional Mexican Tequila from the Jalisco Highlands

Patrón, the Excellence of Premium Mexican Tequila

Founded in 1989 by John Paul DeJoria and Martin Crowley, Patrón is a premium Mexican tequila produced in the Jalisco Highlands, Mexico. This artisanal distillery stands out for its traditional methods: slow-cooking blue agaves in brick ovens, crushing with a volcanic stone tahona, and small-batch distillation. Acquired by Bacardi Limited in 2018 for $5.1 billion, Patrón remains a benchmark in the world of premium spirits. The brand cultivates its excellence through an ultra-premium approach, positioning Mexican tequila as an accessible luxury spirit.

Patrón El Alto, the Art of Traditional Craftsmanship

Patrón El Alto perfectly embodies the house's ancestral know-how. Made from 100% Weber blue agaves grown in the high-altitude terroirs of Jalisco, this exceptional spirit benefits from an entirely traditional production process. The agaves are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, then crushed using two complementary methods: the ancestral volcanic stone tahona and the modern roller mill. This dual approach captures the very essence of roasted agave, developing its characteristic aromas reminiscent of roasted sweet potato and pineapple. Available with or without a gift box, this expression reflects Patrón's commitment to authenticity and Mexican artisanal excellence.
