Patron 100 Proof Silver Tequila

50% ABV (100 proof) | 750mL | 100% tahona-crushed agave, distilled to proof | 100% blue Weber agave, additive-free | Hacienda Patrón, NOM 1492, Jalisco, Mexico — Patrón 100 Proof Silver is the brand's boldest blanco: made entirely from agave crushed by the traditional tahona wheel (the two-ton volcanic stone the brand's old Roca line used) and — a first for Patrón — distilled to proof with no water added after distillation, then bottled at 100 proof. The result preserves the agave's natural character and intensity. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

This is the bottle for people who miss Roca: high-proof should mean high performance, not harshness, in Master Distiller David Rodríguez's words. The tahona crush leaves more of the agave's natural fibers in the process, giving rounder texture and earthier, mineral notes than roller-milled spirit — complexity you can taste. Notes run to cooked agave, citrus, light minerality, and herbal earthiness on the nose; bright sweet cooked agave, a touch of salinity, light pepper, and lemon citrus with a creamy mouthfeel on the palate; and a medium-long, agave-forward, lingering finish. Among high-proof blanco tequilas, a 100-proof tahona-distilled-to-proof Patrón at $50 is built for serious cocktails — Margaritas, Palomas, Martinis — and stands up as a sipper.

Frequently asked questions

What does "distilled to proof" mean?
The distiller runs the still so the spirit comes off at 100 proof, instead of distilling high and watering down — keeping aromatics cleaner and agave character intact.

Is this the same as Patrón Roca?
Not the same line, but the closest thing since Roca was discontinued: 100% tahona-crushed agave, higher proof.

What is a tahona?
A traditional volcanic-stone wheel that crushes cooked agave — slower than a roller mill, and prized for the earthy, mineral complexity it adds.

Is it additive-free?
Yes.
