Patron Extra Añejo 7 Anos Tequila Limited Edition
About Patrón Extra Añejo 7 Años Tequila Limited Edition Francisco Alcaraz, Patrón Spirits Company’s international director and master distiller, has been with the company since its beginning. Alcaraz first created the recipe for Patrón when he was working at the Siete Leguas — one of Mexico’s oldest distilleries — which produced an early version of Patrón from 1989 until 2002. At Siete Leguas, Alcaraz perfected two very distinct ways of producing tequila, and when he transitioned to the new Patrón Tequila Company in the early 2000s, he brought with him his mastery of both techniques. Patrón Tequila is a blend of tequilas produced by two methods: the traditional method, which uses a tahona — a giant grinding stones that crushes baked agave (Patrón roasts its agave in brick ovens for exactly 79 hours) before fermentation and distillation — and a newer, mechanical method which shreds the agave in a roller mill. After it has been crushed, the agave is fermented for at least three days before being distilled through hand-made copper stills at Hacienda Patrón. Patrón Limited Edition Extra Añejo 7 años Tequila was aged in French oak for seven years — far beyond the minimum three years which is required to call tequila “extra añejo” — in a hidden corner of one of Hacienda Patrón’s barrel-aging rooms.
Tasting Notes
Intense amber and golden color, along with an aroma of dried fruits, melted butter, oak tannins and vanilla. The palate is filled with more dried fruits, as well as a robust citrus character and light caramel sweetness. Finish is long and complex, with woody notes that continue to evolve on the tongue.
