PATRÓN CRISTALINO Tequila, 750 ml

A Sophisticated Sipping Experience

PATRÓN CRISTALINO is perfect for any occasion with its sophisticated, smooth taste. Striking a harmonious balance, it offers soft aromatic notes of caramel, creamy vanilla, light oak and the star of the show, our signature slow-cooked 100% Weber Blue Agave. Enjoy the sweet, elevated feel of this masterfully handcrafted crystal-clear aged tequila.

Production Method

PATRÓN CRISTALINO is an exceptionally unique tequila that reimagines PATRÓN Añejo—a unique blend aged in four distinct oak cask types—by filtering it through wood charcoal for 12 to 15 months and blended to offer a sweeter profile with big, woody notes that don’t overpower the baked agave flavors that are uniquely PATRÓN. This produces a sweet and velvety smooth tequila, clear as crystal and flawless in its finish. PATRÓN tequilas are handcrafted at the Hacienda Patrón distillery in Jalisco, Mexico where people are the heart of the process - one that has remained the same since the very beginning. First, skilled jimadors uproot only the finest 100% Weber Blue Agave with the perfect sugar content and transport the heart of the plant to Hacienda Patrón. They’re then hand chopped, baked and crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone tahona wheel and a roller mill. The agave is then fermented in pine oak tanks and distilled in small batches using copper stills. Each bottle of PATRÓN is a work of art, meticulously inspected, hand corked and signed. PATRÓN Cristalino tequila is a celebration of our tequila mastery that has resulted in one of our most exquisite tequila innovations to date

Agave ripens slowly: Every eight or so years. So our skilled Jimadors take great care to find and uproot only those Weber Blue Agave with optimal sugar content. Using a sharp tool called a Coa, they strip away the leaves to reveal the heart of the plant, the piña. After being hand-chopped, our piñas are baked in small brick ovens to ensure they’re cooked evenly. Then, they’re crushed by a two-ton volcanic stone Tahona wheel and a roller mill. In fact, Patrón has more working Tahonas than any other tequila producer in the world.

Sustainability

Water

PATRÓN Tequila has also been a part of the Charco Bendito project since 2020, which aims to replenish 4,000,000 cubic meters of water by 2028 and has planted 53,000 trees—with a projection of 150,000 planted trees by 2028 in the Lerma-Santiago River Basin—to help with water basin projects in Mexico.

Agave

Without a continual supply of agave, there wouldn’t be tequila, so we’re proactively funding a study with a top agricultural research center in Mexico to ensure the sustainability of the Weber Blue Agave plant for the entire industry. In addition, our jimadors only harvest mature agave, which allows the natural reproduction cycle of the plant to occur, helps prevent overplanting, and plays an important role in preserving the local ecosystem. We also create more than 5,500 tons of fertilizer compost a year from leftover agave fibers from our production process at the Hacienda PATRÓN distillery. And we take in used agave fibers, free of charge, from 10 other neighboring distilleries.

Trees

Since 2015, we’ve reforested or donated approximately 16,000 trees in our local community of Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco. And our reverence for the environment extends to our very own back yard at the Hacienda PATRÓN distillery, where we recently transplanted 3,000 lime trees—rather than cutting them down—to make room for an expansion project.
