A premium tequila from the Highlands of Jalisco, elegant and with complex aromas
Patrón, a pioneer in ultra-premium Mexican tequila
Founded in 1989 in Mexico by John Paul DeJoria and Martin Crowley, Patrón revolutionized the premium tequila market. Based in the Highlands of Jalisco, the distillery combines ancestral methods and innovation: slow cooking of agaves in traditional brick ovens, grinding with a volcanic stone tahona, and artisanal distillation. Acquired by Bacardi in 2018, Patrón remains under the leadership of Lee Applbaum. Its El Alto range, made exclusively with high-altitude cultivated blue weber agaves, stands out for its complex aromas of roasted agave, oak, and coconut, positioning the brand as a global reference in ultra-premium tequila.
El Alto, the pinnacle of Patrón blending expertise
El Alto represents the pinnacle of blending artistry at Patrón. This exceptional tequila is crafted from agaves slowly cooked in traditional brick ovens, then crushed with a volcanic stone tahona, as well as agaves processed with a roller mill. This artisanal approach preserves the authentic aromas of agave while developing the signature roasted agave notes that define El Alto. The final blend showcases the expertise of Patrón’s master distillers, creating a tequila with 102% of the Don Julio 1942 index, positioning El Alto among the absolute references in the ultra-premium segment.
