Patron Silver Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico

Patrón Silver Tequila brings together two expressions of Blue Weber agave: one extracted by a traditional volcanic-stone tahona, the other by a roller mill. Fermented and distilled separately before blending, these components create an unaged tequila with fresh citrus character, gentle agave sweetness, and a clean, lightly peppery finish. Made at Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco, Mexico, its balanced style works equally well for sipping and classic cocktails.
