An Introduction To Smoked Tequilas
Tequila is a beloved spirit that has been enjoyed for centuries, but in recent years a new trend has emerged: smoked agave tequila. Reminiscent of mezcal, and other smoked spirits, this unique style of tequila is made using a traditional process that involves roasting the agave plant in an oven, giving it a smoky, rich flavor that sets it apart from other tequilas. It has become increasingly popular among tequila enthusiasts and mixologists alike, as its bold flavor profile lends itself well to a variety of cocktails and sipping experiences.
Meet The Patrón Ahumado Collection
From craft to glass, both Patrón Ahumado Tequilas are passionately handcrafted with the finest agave and roasted in small batches with mesquite charcoal for seven days in underground stone pits at Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco, Mexico. The agaves are then crushed through a 100% tahona wheel distillation process to produce a spirit that is bold in flavor. Elevate your cocktail game with these new members of our tequila collection.
