Renowned for authenticity, craftsmanship and premium taste, each luxurious and handcrafted bottle of Patrón Tequila contains 100% Weber Blue Agave and zero additives, creating a quality and flavour that can be enjoyed through every sip. Using time-tested methods of ageing and harvesting, the dedicated team at Patrón nurture the agave plants for eight years at Hacienda Patrón in the highlands of Jalisco, before selecting only the best for production.
More exclusively, Patrón Tequila represents a tried and tested technique in achieving complex
expressions of simply perfect aged tequilas. Sitting alongside the classic Patrón Silver, Patrón Reposado and Patrón Añejo are the two aged variations in Patrón’s core range, which are carefully distilled in small batches before being aged in a combination of French, Hungarian and American whiskey oak barrels.
“Australians are wanting to know how their tequila is crafted, what is in it and how to drink it. We have seen a trend with consumers trading up and finding enjoyment in the rich flavours and aromas of aged tequilas. Extremely versatile and perfect with food, aged tequila can be enjoyed neat, bringing out a smooth and complex flavour, or to elevate classic cocktails such as the Margarita, Patrón Reposado Paloma or Old-Fashioned – just to name a few,” added Joey.
To celebrate Patrón’s aged tequila range, Casa Merida in Potts Point, Sydney is offering a variety of aged tequila cocktails, such as the Mile High Margarita, alongside an exclusive Patrón-infused menu that will only be available during the month of September. The delectable set menu is $65 per person, food only or $115 per person with three pairing cocktails and consists of three courses that have been specifically curated to compliment the flavours of Patrón Reposado and Patrón Añejo.
Alternatively, while out enjoying a drink with friends, consider elevating your Margarita order to a
Tommy’s with Patrón Reposado. Or if you’re a whisky drinker, try the Patrón Añejo – best served neat. For those that like to entertain at home, a Patrón Reposado Mile High Margarita is always a crowd
favourite.
Patrón Reposado Tequila
Patrón Reposado is distilled in small batches and rested in a variety of oak barrels for up to five months. Taking on a light-gold colour from the aging process, Patrón Reposado is alive with notes of citrus and honey. Drink neat, over ice or use Reposado to elevate fruit-driven cocktails like the Paloma.
Tasting notes: Citrus fruit, fresh agave and honey with a light floral, vanilla finish.
RRP: $100.00, available online and in-store at all major retailers including Dan Murphy’s and BWS
Patrón Añejo Tequila
Aged in a combination of French oak, Hungarian oak and used American whiskey barrels for no less than twelve months, Patrón Añejo offers an intensity of colour and taste developed during the ageing process. For those who enjoy an aged bourbon or a peated scotch, consider trying Patrón Añejo for its depth, richness, notes of smoke and caramel finish. Drink Patrón Añejo neat, on the rocks, or use it to put a twist on a classic such as an Old-Fashioned.

RRP: $115.00, available online and in-store at all major retailers including Dan Murphy’s and BWS
