Patr\u00f3n Spirits International is set to launch Patr\u00f3n Cask Collection Sherry A\u00f1ejo, a travel retail exclusive ultra-premium Tequila fully matured in Spanish oloroso Sherry casks.<\/p>\n
Made from 100% Weber blue agave, which is baked in brick overs for around three days, the Tequila is the result of both the traditional \u201ctahona\u201d process and modern mill method.<\/p>\n
After distillation, the Tequila was aged for more than two years in oak barrels from Spain, previously used to produce oloroso Sherry.<\/p>\n
\u201cSherry casks exhibit an elegant flavour and aroma of pecans, which marry beautifully with the taste of agave,\u201d says Francisco Alcaraz, Patr\u00f3n\u2019s master distiller.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been working with sherry casks for several years, to achieve the perfect balance of the unmistakable taste from the oak without losing any of the characteristic flavor of the agave, and I\u2019m very proud to now present Patr\u00f3n Cask Collection Sherry A\u00f1ejo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bottled at 80-proof\/40% abv, the Tequila is \u201cbright, medium-gold\u201d in colour and offers a \u201ccomplex aroma of pecans, fresh-cooked agave, light butter, and dried fruits\u201d. Given tasting notes include pecans, light-toasted oak, caramel, raisins, light vanilla and hints of butter.<\/p>\n
A \u201cvery limited\u201d allocation of Patr\u00f3n Cask Collection Sherry A\u00f1ejo was initially produced for global duty-free for early 2017, prior to a broader release in \u201cselect domestic markets\u201d in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cTravel retail continues to play a vital role in the global growth and success of Patr\u00f3n tequila, which is why we\u2019re committed to offer unique duty free exclusive products and packages in this important retail channel,\u201d said John Kilmartin, vice president, global travel retail at Patr\u00f3n Spirits International.<\/p>\n
Patr\u00f3n Cask Collection Sherry A\u00f1ejo, along with the wider Patr\u00f3n product portfolio, will be featured on the Patr\u00f3n stand at the TFWA World Exhibition, which takes place from 2-7 October 2015 at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the TFWA exhibition in 2015, Patr\u00f3n partnered with French crystal specialist Lalique to create Patr\u00f3n en Lalique: Serie 1, a limited edition, extra a\u00f1ejo expression housed in a crystal decanter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
