✨ Technical Specifications
Patrón Silver Tequila is an unaged blanco tequila crafted from 100% Weber Blue Agave harvested in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The production process combines traditional and modern methods, utilizing both a volcanic stone tahona wheel and a roller mill to extract the agave juice. Following fermentation, the liquid is double-distilled in small-batch copper pot stills. Because it is not aged in oak, the spirit retains a clear appearance and a profile defined by raw and cooked agave, fresh citrus, and light black pepper notes.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1989 by entrepreneurs John Paul DeJoria and Martin Crowley, Patrón Spirits pioneered the global ultra-premium tequila category. Distillation takes place at the dedicated Hacienda Patrón estate in Atotonilco El Alto, positioned in the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco. This high-altitude terroir, situated over 2,000 meters above sea level, features nutrient-dense iron-rich red clay soils, warm days, and cool nights, yielding Blue Weber agave with elevated sugar levels and pronounced floral brightness. Agave piñas are slow-steamed in small brick ovens before extraction via two distinct methods: a traditional volcanic tahona mill and a modern roller mill. Fermented in bespoke pine wood vats and double-distilled in small copper pot stills, the spirit captures an exceptional balance of cooked agave, citrus zest, and delicate pepper. Owned by Bacardi Limited and stewarded by Master Distiller David Rodríguez García, the house produces benchmark bottlings including Patrón Silver, Reposado, Añejo, and the tahona-exclusive Gran Patrón Piedra.
