Patron Silver Tequila Mexico 70 cl 40%

At Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco, blue agave is still crushed with a two-tonne stone wheel, just as it was a century ago. Patrón Silver is the result – a crystal-clear tequila where the old craft has never gone out of style.

Expert Description

Patrón Silver Tequila is a Mexican Ultra Premium Tequila made from 100% Blue Weber Agave and bottled at 40% alcohol. It is distilled exclusively at the Hacienda Patrón distillery in Jalisco, where nothing but Patrón is produced. The agave is crushed partly with a traditional tahona – a two-tonne volcanic stone wheel pulled in circles – and partly with a modern roller mill, a combination that lends the finished tequila both earthy depth and bright citrus notes.

Patrón Silver is the brand's foundation and the base for every other expression in the range. It's unaged yet smooth and round, which has made it one of the world's best-selling premium tequilas and a bartender favourite in classics like the Margarita and the Paloma.
