Tequila used to be made with something called the ancient Tahona process, wherein heartless tequila distillers force a donkey to drag a massive volcanic stone over agave hearts prior to cooking and distilling them. (We assume that donkey hates his life.) Patrón still goes old-school, although they give the donkeys a break and use machinery to drag massive, specially sculpted stones across their agave hearts, yielding a unique vegetal taste that they then mix with a portion of citrusy tequila made with the modern Roller Mill method. You have one guy to thank for that smooth, smooth balance. Distilled agave is naturally crystal clear. The lengthy aging process and multiple barrels used in their Anejo, Extra Añejo, and Reposado tequilas give the tequila their signature colors, ranging from light straw to deep gold.

Gran Patrón Burdeos uses high-quality Weber Blue agave, ageing it in oak barrels before finishing in French Bordeaux casks. On The Nose Patron Extra Añejo Tequila is a smooth drink that has spent three years aging in American white oak barrels. The brand even goes so far as to say that this is the best tequila to replace whiskey in your home bar! Last on the list is Patron Citronge Mango (can you tell we’re huge fans of their liqueurs?). This liqueur is made with the brand’s silver tequila, blended with natural mango flavor. The smoothest Patron is the Patron Extra Anejo. The long aging period inside the barrels removes all the sharp liquor flavors while imparting a sublime oaky taste!This unaged tequila is 40% ABV (80 proof), with a semi-dry taste and gives a smooth agave experience from start to finish. An unaged tequila made with 100% Weber blue agave. On The Nose Gran Patrón Piedra develops with layers of vanilla, agave, mushroom, and oak notes before it crescendos to a gloriously smooth finish. Best Served Patron XO Cafe is a liqueur made from Patron silver tequila and 100 percent Arabica coffee. It has a delicious coffee aroma that continues to the palate, alongside the flavors of chocolate and vanilla. Patron Chairman’s Reserve has a fine wine quality due to the aging process inside a combination of French Limousin and new American oak barrels. This spirit has honey and butter notes laced with citrus. 11. Añejo Lot 221

With its multitude of tequilas in its range such as the Patron Silver to the more luxurious and premium bottle of Gran Patron Platinum, Patron tequilas are high quality tequilas made to be enjoyed by all. Every bottle is made with care and individually labelled, and is unique in its flavours. You can get a bottle of Patron Tequila in Malaysia for RM 280 to RM 360 in most retail outlets. Not a full-blown tequila, XO Cafe is Patrón’s take on a coffee liqueur. This high-proof spirit – 35% ABV – blends the dry agave notes of tequila with Arabica flavours. To say that it’s a smashing success would be an understatement.

Co-founder Martin Crowley designed the logo, which — and we seriously never noticed this — has a hornet on the label. That’s because before he got heavy into tequila, Crowley served in the Navy on the massive USS Hornet aircraft carrier. It’s a mega brand with some unexpectedly small-business vibes.

Thanks to Patrón’s efforts, tequila now stands alongside whisky and cognac as a refined, cultured beverage. With its iconic beehive bottle and hornet branding, Patrón is impossible to mistake. With its tried-and-tested pot stills, Patrón consistently produces some of the best tequila on the market. Whether you’re sipping the Piedra or mixing with the Silver, you can’t go wrong with the best Patrón tequilas I’ve listed here. XO Cafe is perfectly rounded, a great compromise between a liqueur’s sweetness and the dry strength of Patrón’s speciality. It’s a satisfying burst of flavour, and I recommend it to any Patrón fan.

Another of Patrón’s flagship products, their take on the Reposado tequila is quite remarkable. While Patrón didn’t invent tequila, you’d be hard-pressed to say that this iteration wasn’t perfect.Probably the best Patron out there is the Patron Silver. This highly versatile tequila blanco works great as a sipper and mixer, so you’ll get your money’s worth. The double-distilled spirit is dry and savory, with roasted agave plant, star anise, and peppery finish. 2. Patrón Reposado Patron Extra Anejo tequila has plenty of fruit notes, including banana and blue agave plant. 4. Roca Patrón Silver Pun ukus agave sa aromom slatke baršunaste narandže uz ukusnu vanilu i suvo grožđe sa prodimljeniom karamelom Gran Patrón Platinum Tequila is astonishingly clean – vodka clean – while losing none of Patrón’s remarkable character. After three distillations and thirty days in oak casks, we couldn’t expect anything less from this tequila blend. Fortunately, it fulfils those expectations. Patrón Reposado has a nose of oak wood and fresh agave, fitting for its two-month ageing process. On The Palate
