PATRÓN is one of the few brands that still makes tequila the hard way - by hand, a painstaking process that’s been used since the brand’s inception. Impressively rare to the industry, El Alto is primarily created using the traditional Tahona production method, a method that takes meticulous precision and time.

The agaves are baked for days in clay ovens before being ground with ancient volcanic stone, and aged in a complexity of wood barrels for an exceptionally smooth and sweet taste with subtle notes of figs, honey, caramel, dried fruit, and vanilla. The unique sweet, dried fruit notes of PATRÓN El Alto are a result of having been expertly aged in 11 types of barrels, mostly hybrid barrels of American oak body & French oak heads.
