Aged to perfection in small oak barrels for over 12 months, Patrón Añejo Tequila is a luxurious expression of craftsmanship and tradition. Produced at the Hacienda Patrón in the highlands of Jalisco, this rich and complex tequila is made from 100% Blue Weber agave, slowly roasted and distilled in small batches. The result is a sophisticated spirit that bridges the bold flavors of aged tequila with the smoothness Patrón is known for.
