Patr\u00f3n Spirits International has partnered with DFS Group to launch Patr\u00f3n Extra A\u00f1ejo 5 A\u00f1os at Singapore Changi Airport.<\/p>\n

Patr\u00f3n Extra A\u00f1ejo 5 A\u00f1os is made from 100% Weber blue agave, which has been baked in brick ovens for three days.\u00a0The limited edition, travel retail exclusive Tequila is only available in Asia through DFS.<\/p>\n

The agave was then crushed using both the traditional \u2018tahona\u2019 process and a more modern roller mill method, before being aged for five years at the Hacienda Patr\u00f3n distillery in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Both \u201chybrid\u201d new American\/limousine oak medium toasted barrels and used whiskey barrels were used for maturation.<\/p>\n

The resulting Tequila is described as \u201cnotably light in colour\u201d with \u201cintense aroma\u201d and \u201ccomplex flavours\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cExtra a\u00f1ejo Tequilas are very difficult to create because Tequila that has aged for too long in the barrel can take on too much wood taste and lose much of their natural agave flavour,\u201d said Patr\u00f3n master distiller, Francisco Alcaraz.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut through the years of tasting different wood types, combined with placing barrels in different microclimates within our ageing room, we have proudly created an extra a\u00f1ejo Tequila with just the right balance of wood that complements and doesn\u2019t overpower the Tequila\u2019s agave characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooke Supernaw, DFS Group\u2019s senior vice president spirits, wine and tobacco added: \u201cPatr\u00f3n\u2019s Extra A\u00f1ejo 5 A\u00f1os\u2019 unique ageing process, intense aroma and complex flavours has created a singular Tequila that we\u2019re confident travellers in Asia will love.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to partner with Patr\u00f3n to bring this rare extra a\u00f1ejo Tequila to Asia for the first time at DFS, Singapore Changi Airport and look forward to sharing its heritage and craftsmanship with our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Less than 500 cases of Patr\u00f3n Extra A\u00f1ejo 5 A\u00f1os have been produced, with the liquid only available in global travel retail. The 750ml 40% abv bottle retails at Changi Airport at S$280 (about US$202).<\/p>\n
