Patrón Launches 100‑Proof Tequila Distilled to Proof With 100% Tahona

The nationwide release targets cocktail bars with a higher‑strength blanco built for structure.

Overview

  • Patrón introduced the 100‑proof Patrón 100 on Wednesday with U.S. nationwide availability and a $49.99 suggested price.
  • The tequila is distilled to proof at 50% ABV with no added water and is made using only agave, water, and yeast.
  • Production relies on 100% tahona extraction, where a volcanic stone wheel crushes cooked agave to draw out deeper, layered flavors.
  • Patrón says the higher strength helps cocktails keep clear agave flavor and body, responding to bartenders who want a spirit that does not get lost in mixers.
  • The brand kicked off a Let’s Roll Tour of 100 pop‑ups with 100 bartenders over 100 days, ending July 24 at Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans.
