Padre Azul Tequila

A premium tequila founded by German entrepreneurs who set out to turn tequila into a European luxury item rather than a shot-bar staple. With bottle design by star designer Karim Rashid, Padre Azul is as much a statement piece on the bar as it is a taste experience in the glass.

  • Padre Azul Blanco Tequila bottle with blue leather wrap and skull cap
    Item no.: 22279-1106-1972

    An Austrian banker and a Mexican woman from Jalisco met at a German university – and from that love story grew a bottle crowned with a metal skull and a tale of friendship that outlasts death itself.

    Expert Description

    Padre Azul Blanco Super Premium Mexican Tequila is a Mexican Blanco Tequila made from 100% agave, bottled at 38%.

    The brand was created by Austrian Hans-Peter Eder and his Mexican wife Adriana Alvarez Maxemin, who met while studying in Germany. The Alvarez Maxemin family's ties to Jalisco led to a partnership with a small distillery near the town of Tequila, where master distiller Erika Sangeado oversees production. Padre Azul launched in 2016 and has since picked up several international awards for its smoothness and purity. The Blanco is made from blue Weber agave, left to mature for eight to ten years in the Jalisco soil before being cooked, double-distilled and bottled without any time in cask.

About Padre Azul

Padre Azul is a Mexican tequila founded by German entrepreneurs, focused on a premium positioning and a striking bottle design. For beginners, it's an accessible way into good tequila without having to navigate the Mexican market alone, while collectors and connoisseurs appreciate how the brand has helped lift the tequila category out of its shot-glass image and into the European premium segment.

History & Background

Padre Azul was founded by a group of German entrepreneurs who wanted to create a premium tequila for the European market, with a striking bottle design by German designer Karim Rashid as a central part of the brand's identity. The name, meaning "blue father", refers to the blue agave plant from which all tequila is made. The agave is grown in Jalisco and oven-roasted by traditional method before the resulting mash is distilled into the finished tequila. Padre Azul is an example of how international investors have increasingly entered the tequila business to target the growing premium segment.

Production & Style
