Understanding Tequila
Choosing the best tequila requires a basic understanding of it. Produced in Mexico, the production of tequila is an extremely regulated process that employs the juices from Blue Agave plants grown within the area around the city of Tequila. In fact, only five Mexican states can grow these plants:
- Jalisco
- Guanajuato
- Michoacan
- Nayarit
Patrón tequila is produced from Blue Agave plants grown in Jalisco, Mexico. The producers of Patrón use only the finest raw ingredients with nothing to change the natural state. Other tequila producers may use concentrated additives, but Patrón remains faithful to the traditional process of production.
Patrón tequila doesn’t contain:
- Glycerin
- Caramel coloring
- Oak extract
- Jarabe (sugar-based syrup)
The flavor profile of Patrón is a result of natural ingredients and time-honored processes. Patrón invests the time needed to create complex flavors and premium tequila, and that’s why fans love it.
The ripening of an Agave plant is an eight year process. Patrón’s Jimadors identify and uproot only those plants that are at the ideal level of ripeness. Then, they use a Coa (a sharp tool) to remove the leaves and reach the plant’s piña, or heart.
Once chopped, the piñas go into brick ovens for even cooking. Once the cooking process finishes, a Tahona stone wheel and roller mill crushes the cooked piñas.
Fermentation of the resulting mixture lasts three days and then distilled. Some tequilas are then aged in barrels. Lastly, the delicious liquid is then bottled in the famous glass square bottle for which Patrón is known.
Choose Patrón for its eco-friendliness and social responsibility in addition to its taste. Not only does Patrón capture and recycle the water used during production, but the company was also the first to use natural gas to limit the carbon footprint created during production of Patrón tequila.
The efforts of the company extend to sustaining the Blue Agave plant. Without it, there would be no tequila for anyone, and nobody wants that!
How to Use Patrón
The obvious use for any tequila is making margaritas, and we celebrate that. However, Patrón tequila has the type of versatility that welcomes a variety of cocktail recipes. On its website, the company offers recipes for Silver Breeze, Mexican Martini Cocktails, Patrón Mojito Cocktails, Jalisco Mule Cocktails, Reposado Old Fashioned Cocktails, Patrón and Pineapple Cocktails, and more! Rebooting classic cocktails with tequila instead of the original liquor is a pretty brazen move, but it works when the quality is at the level of Silver Patrón tequila.
When plans call for Patrón tequila while you’re on Grand Cayman, buy from Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits.
