Patrón Extra Añejo

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Patrón Extra Añejo offers a rich, velvety sipping experience perfect for slow evenings or special celebrations. With an ABV of 40%, this tequila is crafted in Mexico using 100% Blue Weber agave and aged for at least three years in a combination of new and used American, French, and Hungarian oak barrels. The extended aging process imparts a deep complexity that sets it apart from younger tequilas.

On the palate, Patrón Extra Añejo reveals layers of dried fruit, honeyed oak, vanilla, and subtle spice. These flavors harmonize beautifully with the bittersweet intensity of dark chocolate or the savory char of grilled steak. The tequila’s smooth finish and nuanced sweetness elevate both pairings, making each sip feel indulgent yet balanced.
