Patrn Reposado 375ML is a 100% blue Weber agave tequila aged 211 months in oak barrels, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 375ml format. This expression earned 93 points from Wine Enthusiast and a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, along with consecutive Master medals at The Spirits Business Tequila & Mezcal Masters in 2020 and 2021.
Hacienda Patrn operates out of Atotonilco El Alto in the highlands of Jalisco, where the distillery runs the largest tahona operation in the tequila industry up to 14 volcanic stone tahona wheels working at any given time, more than the next five distilleries combined. Every batch of Patrn Reposado blends two distinct production streams: tahona-milled agave, which is fermented with its crushed fibers intact, and modern roller-milled agave. Both streams are double-distilled in small copper pot stills before aging in a mix of American and Hungarian oak barrels for a minimum of two months and up to eleven months, creating a layered spirit with both rustic depth and polished refinement.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Fresh cooked agave arrives first, followed by rich vanilla and a warm butterscotch sweetness. Underneath, ripe citrus, light honey, and a faint herbaceous quality with hints of thyme and dill add complexity.
Taste: The entry is smooth and agave-forward, with sweet roasted agave quickly giving way to vanilla, caramel, and butter at mid-palate. As it develops, cracked black pepper, cinnamon, a thread of anise, and zesty citrus emerge, balanced by ripe red fruit and a subtle mineral backbone from the highland terroir.
Finish: Medium-long and gently warming, with vanilla and butterscotch-influenced oak lingering alongside light black pepper spice. A clean, slightly floral quality keeps the finish fresh rather than heavy.
