If you’re a tequila drinker, the chances are you have a bottle or two of PATRÓN on your bar cart. There aren’t many brands as well-known or beloved as this one. You can’t go wrong with anything from its tequila portfolio. But fans of home cocktailing should be excited because recently, this iconic tequila brand announced the release of its first-ever distilled-to-proof tequila.
PATRÓN 100
As the name suggests, PATRÓN 100 is a 100-proof, small-batch tequila made with 100% Blue Weber agave, produced using traditional tahona stone milling. The result is a complex, memorable, high-proof tequila perfect for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails like the Margarita or Paloma. At such a high proof, this tequila will shine in any cocktail.
According to PATRÓN, this 50% ABV tequila is centered on flavors like sweet vanilla, cooked agave, light minerality, earthy notes, and just a hint of cracked black pepper to meld everything together.
“High proof should mean high performance, not harshness,” David Rodriguez, PATRÓN Tequila Master Distiller, says.
“With PATRÓN 100, we focused on building more depth and structure while keeping the balanced profile people expect from our tequilas. At 100 proof, the agave profile can really shine through, standing up beautifully to minerality and dilution in cocktails. This is a tequila built for bartenders who want bold, high-character flavor that still feels refined.”
Where can I buy it?
If you want to add a bottle of PATRÓN 100 to your home bar for sipping and mixing, you can find this unique tequila (and all other PATRÓN expressions) at alcohol retailers throughout the US for the suggested retail price of $49.99 for a 750ml bottle.
