About Patrón
Patrón Tequila was founded in 1989 by John Paul DeJoria and the late Martin Crowley with the goal of creating the world's finest tequila. Produced at Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco, Mexico, every bottle of Patrón is made from 100% Weber Blue Agave and crafted using a combination of traditional tahona wheel and roller mill methods. Each bottle is hand-numbered and hand-finished, a hallmark of Patrón's commitment to artisanal production at scale.
