Patrón tequila and Lalique have come together for the second series in this collaboration. The product is aged for eight years in a combination of American oak, French oak and sherry barrels. Only 299 bottles of Patrón en Lalique: Serie 2 (40%) have been created at Lalique’s glass factory in Wingen-sur-Moder, Alsace, France. Lalique’s dedicated glassmakers combine modern techniques and traditional skills to create the decanter, which is characterised by straight lines and frosted finishes.

Patrón master distiller Francisco Alcaraz and his team created a blend of extra añejo tequilas, aged at the Hacienda Patrón distillery in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, for an average of more than seven years.

Tequila from three different types of barrels were selected to create the blend.
