In 1989 two visionaries, Paul Mitchell Systems co-founder, John Paul DeJoria, and entrepreneur Martin Crowley formed The Patrón Spirits Company with the singular goal of producing “the best tequila in the world.” They took the 100% pure Waeber blue agave, grown in the hills of Jalisco, Mexico, and blended traditional techniques with modern technology. They created the world’s first ultra-premium tequila.

The Patrón Tequila family includes:

Gran Platinum: Triple distilled, this ultra-premium tequila is extremely smooth. A portion of each batch is aged for a limited amount of time and then blended to create the finest Platinum tequila in the world.

Patrón Añejo: A delicate blend of uniquely aged tequilas. All the tequilas are distilled twice and aged in small white oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months. As in many premium red wines, the blends must be adjusted for each vintage. The same care and attention is paid when blending Patrón Añejo, making it smooth, distinctive and extraordinary.

Patrón Reposado: Distilled twice and aged in oak barrels for an average of six months. It is aged and blended to incorporate the fresh clean taste of Patrón Silver with a hint of the oak flavour found in Patrón Añejo. Patrón Reposado is excellent as a sipping tequila or as a key ingredient in a favourite cocktail.

Patrón Silver: Distilled twice, Silver is a crystal-clear, pure ultra-premium tequila. This light, fresh tequila is a favorite of connoisseurs worldwide. Smooth and soft, it is the perfect ingredient in your favourite margarita or mixed cocktail.

XO Café Liqueur: An extraordinary blend of ultra-premium tequila and the pure, natural essence of the finest coffee. The taste is dry and not too sweet.

Pyrat XO Reserve Rum: A select blend of fine, 15 year old Caribbean rums. Its smooth taste and delicious flavour are complemented by its rich amber color. Pyrat XO Reserve is excellent over ice with a twist of lemon or as an ingredient in a premium rum drink.

Patrón Citrónge: A premium reserve, extra fine orange liqueur. It is the only pure, natural orange liqueur that is distilled in Mexico and exported to the United States. No artificial flavors or chemical enhancers are ever added. Citrónge is excellent straight or in a premium cocktail. It also adds a unique flavour to gourmet recipes.
