Why Patrón El Alto Tequila is the Star of Our Art of the Cocktail Event Tonight
At The Roof at Park South, we pride ourselves on featuring only the finest spirits, and when it comes to tequila, there’s nothing quite like Patrón El Alto. As we prepare for our Art of the Cocktail event tonight October 22nd, we are excited to spotlight this exceptional tequila, which is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and tradition. Here’s what makes Patrón El Alto superior and why we’re thrilled to share it with you during our interactive mixology class.
The Finest Ingredients: 100% Weber Blue Agave
Patrón El Alto Tequila begins with the finest ingredient—the 100% Weber Blue Agave, grown in the highest parts of Jalisco, Mexico. These high-altitude regions produce the sweetest agave plants, which are known for their smooth, rich flavor. The combination of perfect soil, climate, and care ensures that each plant ripens to perfection, yielding the ideal agave for this luxurious tequila.
The quality of the agave is key to Patrón El Alto’s superior flavor profile. The sweetness of the agave gives the tequila a balanced, rich base, making it incredibly smooth and easy to sip. This makes Patrón El Alto not just a drink, but an experience—whether it’s savored neat, on the rocks, or featured in an expertly crafted cocktail, like the ones we’ll be creating at our Art of the Cocktail class.
Handcrafted Perfection: The Tahona Process
What truly sets Patrón El Alto apart from other tequilas is the use of the traditional Tahona process. This ancient method involves crushing the agave with a massive two-ton volcanic stone wheel, known as a Tahona, to extract the juice and fibers. This process, combined with the use of the roller mill, captures the purest flavors from the agave, retaining the earthiness and sweetness that are signature to Patrón El Alto.
While many tequila producers have shifted to faster, more industrialized processes, Patrón remains committed to these time-honored methods that highlight the natural flavors of the agave. The result? A tequila that boasts complexity and depth, with a smooth finish that is unmatched by others.
Superior Aging: A Blend of Extra Añejo, Añejo, and Reposado
Patrón El Alto is a masterpiece of blending, crafted with care and expertise. It is composed of Extra Añejo, aged for four years, and blended with exceptional Añejo and Reposado tequilas. This precise blend of aged tequilas brings out a beautiful combination of bold and sweet flavors, with layers of complexity that make each sip more intriguing than the last.
The Extra Añejo provides rich notes of oak, vanilla, and dried fruit, while the Añejo and Reposado tequilas contribute hints of honey and a touch of spice. Together, these flavors create a tequila that is both bold and smooth, making it perfect for sipping slowly or for mixing into high-end cocktails that deserve only the best ingredients.
A Rare, Luxury Tequila
Patrón El Alto is not just another tequila—it is a high-end, luxury spirit that is rare and innovative. With its extra aging process and dedication to the finest ingredients and traditional methods, Patrón El Alto stands out as a tequila that can be savored at life’s most memorable moments. Its smoothness and depth of flavor make it a true luxury, whether you’re enjoying it neat or mixing it into an elegant cocktail.
