Patron was founded in 1989 by John Paul DeJoria (who also co-founded Paul Mitchell) and Martin Crowley. They wanted to create a premium tequila at a time when the category had no real premium tier. The handmade bottles, quality agave sourcing and artisanal production created something genuinely different. Patron Silver established the premium tequila market and its success inspired every high-end agave spirit that followed. In India it commands significant respect among drinkers who take tequila seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Patron Silver vs Patron Reposado — which should I buy in India?
Start with Patron Silver if you want to understand what premium 100% agave tequila tastes like in its purest form. The fresh agave, citrus and pepper character with no barrel influence is the clearest expression of quality tequila. Patron Reposado at Rs 8200 in Delhi takes that same base and adds over two months of oak ageing, adding vanilla, caramel and warmth. If you already appreciate Patron Silver and want more complexity, the Reposado is a natural and rewarding upgrade. For cocktails, Silver is more versatile. For sipping, Reposado offers more depth.
Is Patron tequila 100% agave?
Yes, Patron Silver is 100% blue agave tequila — this is explicitly stated on every bottle and is central to the brand is identity and premium positioning. To carry the 100% agave designation, tequila must be made entirely from blue agave with no additional sugars. This distinguishes Patron from mixto tequilas which can contain up to 49% non-agave sugars. The 100% agave standard ensures the full, rich agave character that defines Patron and justifies the premium price in India.
What is the best cocktail to make with Patron Silver?
Patron Silver makes the finest Margarita available in India at its price point. Combine 50ml Patron Silver, 25ml Cointreau and 25ml fresh lime juice in a shaker with ice. Shake hard for 15 seconds and strain into a salt-rimmed rocks glass over ice. The quality of Patron Silver elevates the Margarita from a casual cocktail to a genuinely special drink. The Paloma — Patron Silver with fresh grapefruit soda, lime and a pinch of salt — is equally brilliant and arguably more refreshing in India is warm climate.
Is Patron Silver available at duty free in India?
Yes, Patron Silver is available at duty free shops at major Indian international airports. Duty free prices are around Rs 4200 for a 750ml bottle compared to the Delhi retail price of Rs 6800 — a saving of Rs 2600 per bottle. For a premium tequila at this quality level, duty free is the most economical purchasing option. Patron is one of the most consistently stocked premium spirits across all major Indian airport duty free shops.
