Patrón


Patrón is a brand of tequila products by the Patrón Spirits Company with 40% Alcohol in each bottle.
Patrón Tequilas, like all tequilas, are produced in Mexico from the "maguey" of the blue agave plant. Everything including the barrels, corks, and bottles are handcrafted at their distilleries.

History

The original Patrón Tequila was produced by Casa 7 Leguas, one of the oldest Mexican distilleries. St. Maarten Spirits purchased the brand rights in 1989 and in 2002 production moved to a new distillery.
In 2000, Ed Brown a former race car driver took over as CEO. Following the advertising strategy of Grey Goose, Patrón presented its tequila as "premium" and signaled "taste and sophistication" through individually-numbered glass bottles. The target audience is mostly vodka drinkers in nightclubs and trendy bars. Through persistent references by country music and hip hop singers, and by Lil Jon in particular, Patrón has become a fixture of popular culture.
In January 2018, Patrón was sold to Bacardi, the world's largest privately held spirits company, for $5.1 billion.

Varieties

Varieties include a tequila-coffee blend known as Patrón XO Cafe, a tequila-chocolate-coffee blend known as Patrón XO Cafe Dark Cocoa, and an orange liqueur known as Patrón Citrónge.
Patron XO Cafe is a premium coffee flavoured version of Patron.
