The world’s first rested, super-premium young potato vodka. Naturally gluten-free, Family Reserve features a special variety of young potato that was planted during the 2016 growing season in the rich, dark soil of the estate fields surrounding the distillery. The potatoes were harvested when they were still young, producing a sweeter tasting profile with delicate earthy notes. The spirit was then left undisturbed in fifty-year-old Polish oak barrels for two years to allow time for it to rest and mellow before being bottled, by hand. Tasting Notes: Nose: Hints of spice accenting a gentle sweet musk.

Patrón El Alto is passionately handcrafted from the finest 100% Weber Blue agave grown in the highest parts of Jalisco, Mexico primarily using the traditional Tahona production process. It is primarily crafted with Extra Añejo and blended with Añejo and Reposado tequilas each aged to their maximum potential.

The unique sweet, dried fruit notes of Patrón El Alto are a result of having been expertly aged in 11 types of barrels, mostly hybrid barrels of American oak body & French oak heads.
