PATR\u00d3N Tequila is taking its first step into the prestige category with the release of its latest expression, PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO. Passionately handcrafted from the finest 100% Weber Blue Agave grown in the highest parts of Jalisco, Mexico, yielding the sweetest agaves for an incredibly smooth taste, PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO is an impressively rare and masterfully aged tequila.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO is primarily crafted with Extra A\u00f1ejo and blended with A\u00f1ejo and Reposado tequilas each aged to their maximum potential, making this bold innovation the pinnacle of perfection. PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO demonstrates over four years of craftsmanship, ingenuity and artistry. Legendary Master Distiller David Rodriguez and his talented team of distilling artisans didn’t limit themselves in how to cultivate the best flavors but rather, as a result of over 300 tastings, masterfully combined an exceptional selection of the best Reposado, A\u00f1ejo, and Extra A\u00f1ejo tequilas.<\/p>\n

“PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO stays true to PATR\u00d3N Tequila’s traditional roots in distilling while innovating in a way that achieves the best blended, aged tequila profile possible,”<\/em> said David Rodriguez, PATR\u00d3N Master Distiller. “The tequilas that harmoniously come together in PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO are a result of selecting the finest 100% Weber Blue Agave in the highest parts of Jalisco, Mexico, a territory known for producing the sweetest agaves, which gives PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO its incredibly smooth and sweet taste. We took four years to focus on only the best of the best and perfect the bold, sweet flavors of this expression the right way: naturally.”<\/em><\/p>\n

PATR\u00d3N is one of the few brands that still makes tequila the hard way – by hand, a painstaking process that’s been used since the brand’s inception. Innovative and impressively rare to the industry, the majority of PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO Tequila is created using the traditional Tahona production process. A method that requires meticulous precision and time, a two-ton volcanic stone is used to crush the baked agave which creates a tequila with natural sweetness and flavors of the earth. PATR\u00d3N is the leading producer of Tahona-based tequila in the world, demonstrating its commitment to a time-honored process, further exemplified by PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO.<\/p>\n

This exquisite and refined prestige tequila is naturally smooth and sweet with subtle notes of figs, honey, caramel, dried fruit and vanilla. The sweet, dried fruit notes of PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO are a result of having been expertly aged in 11 types of barrels, mostly hybrid barrels of American oak body and French oak heads. Using 100% naturally perfect ingredients \u2014 agave, water and yeast \u2014 and crafted in small batches to ensure consistency and quality, PATR\u00d3N EL ALTO achieves the brand’s one goal in mind: to create the finest tequila in the world.<\/p>\n
