From Barrel to Bottle: The Craftsmanship of Patron Anejo Tequila
Patron Anejo Tequila is an aged tequila from the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, made to pour smooth whether you sip it neat or mix a top-shelf cocktail. This Patron Anejo Tequila is crafted from hand-selected 100% Weber Blue Agave and matured in small oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months, giving it a rich amber color and a sweet oak character.
Patrón is widely known for its focus on careful production and consistent quality, and this añejo shows why. Under the expertise of master distiller Francisco Alcaraz, the agave is harvested, trimmed, and steam-baked in small brick ovens before being distilled in small batches.
