Patron

The Patron Spirits Company was first launched in 1989 in Mexico by John Paul DeJoria and Martin Crowley. Originally produced by Casa 7 Leguas, one of Mexico’s oldest distilleries, the brand's manufacturing was relocated to a new distillery in Jalisco Mexico in 2002 and is now exclusively produced at this facility. Purchased by Barcardi in 2018, this renowned tequila is sold in over 100 countries worldwide. Keeping to the traditions of old-school tequila production, Patron uses a two-ton wheel hewn from volcanic rock to crush their agave, called a tahona wheel. While this does slow down overall production, it offers a truly distinctive quality that many collectors and connoisseurs deeply appreciate. Patron is the ultimate experience in hand-crafted, superior Mexican tequila and is the reason this once humble liquor has become a top-shelf fine spirit around the world.
