Patron Silver Tequila

What makes Patron Silver different from cheaper tequilas?

Patron Silver is made from 100% blue agave hearts harvested at peak ripeness at the Hacienda Patron distillery in Jalisco. Cheaper tequilas including Jose Cuervo Especial use a blend of agave and other sugars — called mixto — which dilutes the agave character significantly. Patron also uses a traditional tahona stone wheel for part of the crushing process and distils in small pot stills for maximum flavour. The handmade glass bottles are sealed individually. Every detail reflects a commitment to craft that justifies the Rs 6800 price in Delhi for serious tequila drinkers.
