Patron Anejo
Patron Anejo is a 750mL anejo tequila bottled at 40% ABV, handcrafted from 100% Weber Blue Agave at Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco, Mexico (NOM 1492) and aged for over 12 months in a combination of French oak, Hungarian oak and used American whiskey barrels. Warm amber in the glass, it is Patrón's barrel-aged sipping expression — oak, vanilla and raisin over cooked agave, finishing with caramel and a whisper of smoke. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Over a Year in Three Oaks
An anejo has to hold its agave through a year or more of oak, and Patrón spreads that year across three woods — French oak for spice, Hungarian oak for sweetness, used American whiskey barrels for vanilla depth. The spirit that goes in is the house's small-batch distillate, crushed by both tahona stone and roller mill at the Highlands hacienda the brand has called home since 2002 — the same dual process behind every Patrón expression since the founding in 1989. The result is the range's sipping anchor. Compare the expressions on the Patrón vendor page and across our tequila collection.

How to Enjoy
Neat or with one large cube, sipped slowly; the honey-and-caramel register also builds a fine Tequila Old Fashioned. More sipping tequilas are in our tequila collection.
