Process & Profile

Gran Patrón Piedra is crafted using the rare and labor-intensive *tahona* process at Hacienda Patrón in Jalisco, Mexico. This centuries-old method involves crushing steamed 100% Weber Blue Agave with a two-ton volcanic stone wheel to extract the agave's natural sweetness. The juice, along with agave fibers, is fermented and distilled in copper pots to retain its authentic flavors. The tequila is then meticulously aged for four years in a combination of French Limousin and new American oak barrels, a process that imparts its rich flavor, deep mahogany color, and smooth texture. The result is a spirit that perfectly balances heritage and innovation.
