Patrón Silver Ahumado

Patrón Silver Ahumado is a deliberate exploration of smoke in tequila, built on the same high-quality foundation as Patrón Silver but with an added layer of smoky complexity. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from Los Altos, the agave hearts are cooked using mesquite wood, imparting a defined smoke presence that integrates with the natural agave character rather than overpowering it. This method sits outside the standard underground pit oven process used for core Patrón expressions and deliberately emphasises a smoky profile.

After roasting, the agave is milled, fermented and distilled in copper pot stills to maintain clarity and balance. Because it is unaged, the spirit remains true to its raw material and production choices: bright cooked agave, defined smoke, and lively citrus note carry through without any influence from wood. Bottled at 41% ABV, Silver Ahumado has added structural weight that helps the smoky elements persist on the palate without feeling hot or rough.

On the nose, expect mesquite smoke, citrus peel, and cooked agave, with subtle herbal and mineral undertones. The palate delivers smoke up front, followed by fresh agave sweetness and light pepper, finishing savoury and persistent. Patrón Silver Ahumado works well neat or over large ice, and its smoke profile also makes it a natural base for smoky or Negroni-style tequila cocktails. This expression is not about sweetness or wood influence; it’s about defined smoke interacting with premium agave spirit.
