Patron Makes First Quadruple-Distilled Tequila
As the temperatures finally heat up and Cinco de Mayo is around the corner, thoughts turn to tequila. If you’re like me, you’ve learned that the wrong one can make a great night a terrible morning. That’s why Patrón El Cielo sounds like something that you should try.
The expression is the first four-times distilled prestige tequila on the market. Made of 100% natural ingredients and crafted in small batches, El Cielo achieves the brand’s one goal of creating the “finest tequila in the world.” A result of a unique distillation process and more than 150 tasting sessions, the expression is a testament to the hours, experimentations and lengths Patrón goes to in order to create its tequila.
“For the first-time ever, we developed a prestige tequila with a fourth distillation—a process that is extremely rare within the industry—using the smallest copper pot still at Hacienda Patron. While adding another stage of distillation is commonly misconceived as a culprit for diluting flavor, that was not the case for Patrón El Cielo,” said David Rodriguez, Patrón Master Distiller. “At Patrón, our goal is to achieve perfection in every drop—by using this unique, four-time distillation process, we unlocked and opened up the natural sweetness and smoothness from the agave to deliver an incredibly sweet and light tasting, smooth tequila.”
Patrón El Cielo is bottled with a metallic gold cork in a sleek glass bottle outfitted with gold designs inspired by the volcanic tahona stone used to produce it, with other elements inspired by the agave fields and light found within the homeland of Patron—the Jalisco Highlands of Mexico.
Patrón El Cielo is now available for $129.
