As with all PATRÓN tequilas, the process begins with the harvesting of 100% Weber Blue Agave from the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Traditional techniques are upheld throughout each stage of production, from preparation through to distillation, with meticulous oversight to preserve quality and character. In the case of PATRÓN XO Cafe, the addition of coffee essence sourced from Veracruz results in a liqueur that is dry rather than overly sweet. The elevated alcohol content highlights the depth of roasted coffee, complementing the earthy tones of tequila and the gentle richness of cooked agave.
Tasting Note by Patron Tequila:With notes of chocolate and light agave and the flavor of freshly roasted coffee, this deliciously unique tequila is sure to impress. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks or as a key ingredient in cocktails and savor the spirit of Mexico with each taste, as the flavors of tequila and coffee dance on your palate.
