Patrón Tequila: We Didn’t Invent Tequila, We Just Perfected It
Bar Patrón: Tequila Haven
Our time-tested methods produce the finest tequila in the world. Our entire tequila-making process takes place at Hacienda Patrón, and we take pride in each step. Our unique distillery is home to a legacy of craftsmanship, with each bottle passing through at least 60 skilled hands from beginning to end.
Time & Tradition
Patróns Slow Crafted Agave Elixir
The deep, complex flavour of our tequila develops slowly and naturally with our agave. Ripening approximately every 8 years, our skilled Jimadors take great care to find and uproot only the Weber Blue Agave with the optimal sugar content. Using a sharp tool called a Coa, they strip away the leaves to reveal the heart of the plant, the piña.

Slow to Ripen, Slow to Prepare
Patróns Distinctive Craftsmanship
After being hand chopped, our piñas are baked in small brick ovens to ensure they’re cooked evenly. Next, they’re crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone Tahona wheel and roller mill; Patrón has more working Tahonas than any other tequila producer in the world.
The resulting mixture is fermented for three days, distilled, and in some cases, aged in handmade barrels. Two months is the minimum for our Patrón Reposado, and all the way up to ten years for Extra Añejo 10 Años, our oldest tequila.

Perfection from the Inside Out
Crafting Perfection Patrón Bottles
The tequila itself may be the most obvious element of our craft, but our bottles also continue the story. Each bottle is measured and moulded to perfection in Mexico, bottling our spirits with their crowning moment. Whether we’re sustainably harvesting Portuguese cork or having the masters of French crystal, Lalique, design a beautiful cork stopper, each detail must be perfect.
Each Patrón bottle is a celebration of history, technique, and the ongoing legacy of tequila.
