Patrón El Alto, a premium tequila from high-altitude agave with extended maturation
Patrón El Alto is a tequila crafted from blue agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco. It is an expression that brings together traditional craftsmanship and a meticulous selection of aged tequilas to achieve a refined, well-structured profile.
At Licorea, we include references that represent the very highest level within their category. This tequila belongs to the premium segment, designed for those seeking depth, balance and elegance in every glass.
Blue agave from the highlands of Jalisco
Patrón El Alto is made from 100% Weber blue agave cultivated in Los Altos de Jalisco. This region is known for its altitude and mineral-rich soils. The climate encourages slow agave development, resulting in a greater concentration of natural sugars.
The piñas are baked in traditional ovens to preserve their aromas. Fermentation and distillation then follow carefully controlled methods, maintaining the purity of the spirit.
The result is a tequila that is clean at its core, with a structure capable of supporting long ageing without losing its identity.
Selection and blending of aged tequilas
Patrón El Alto stands out for its maturation process. It is composed of a selection of reposado tequilas (aged for 5 months), añejos (rested for 14–15 months) and extra añejos (aged for 4 years), all matured in oak casks. This combination brings added complexity and depth.
The wood influences both colour and texture, introducing toasted and gently spiced notes. The agave remains present, yet wrapped in more mature nuances.
Within our premium tequila category, this is one of the few expressions offering such an extensively oak-aged profile. For enthusiasts of matured tequila, it delivers a richer and more structured tasting experience.
A tequila for unhurried enjoyment
Patrón El Alto suits special occasions. It is ideal for long after-dinner conversations or for those wishing to explore a more refined interpretation of traditional tequila.
It pairs well with dark chocolate, lightly sweet desserts or even a mild cigar. It also works beautifully as the centrepiece of a comparative tasting of aged tequilas.
