For our tasting today Wine-Searcher's Wine Director, David Allen MW, finishes his brief look at Mezcals and Tequilas by reviewing a very popular premium Tequila, Patron's Anejo Tequila. David delves in some depth into what makes Patron a premium tequila.

Patrón is one of the best-selling and highest-profile premium Tequila brands. The distillery is located in Jalisco, at the Hacienda Patrón.

Patrón began as a brand produced by Siete Leguas Tequila, at their distillery in Jalisco, Mexico. In 1989, the rights were sold to St. Marteen Spirits, though it continued to be distilled at Siete Leguas.

The brand was so successful that St. Marteen Spirit changed title to the Patrón Spirits Company. The Tequila's popularity grew in the 1990s and expanded internationally to more markets, now being widely distributed across the world. In 2018 the brand was acquired by Bacardi

In the early 2000s, Patrón began to re-image the brand as a premium spirit, something not readily associated with Tequila at the time. It introduced new varieties at a range of prices, began individually numbering bottles and, in 2002, moved all production to an independent, dedicated distillery in Atotonilco el Alto.
