Patron El Alto

A premium tequila from the Highlands of Jalisco, elegant and with complex aromas Patrón, pioneer of ultra-premium Mexican tequila Founded in Mexico in 1989 by John Paul DeJoria and Martin Crowley, Patrón revolutionised the premium tequila market. Based in the Highlands of Jalisco, the distillery combines traditional methods with innovation: slow cooking of agaves in traditional brick ovens, grinding with volcanic stone tahonas and artisanal distillation. Acquired by Bacardi in 2018, Patrón remains under the leadership of Lee Applbaum. Its El Alto range, made exclusively from high-altitude blue Weber agave, is distinguished by its complex aromas of toasted agave, oak and coconut, positioning the brand as the global benchmark for ultra-premium tequila. El Alto, the excellence of Patrón blending El Alto represents the pinnacle of the art of blending at Patrón. This exceptional tequila is made from agaves slowly cooked in traditional brick ovens, then crushed with a volcanic stone tahona, with agaves processed using a roller mill. This artisanal approach preserves the authentic aromas of the agave while developing the characteristic notes of grilled agave that are the signature of El Alto. The final blending reveals all the expertise of Patrón's master distillers, creating a tequila with a 102% Don Julio 1942 index, positioning El Alto among the absolute benchmarks in the ultra-premium segment.
