PATRÓN® Tequila Unveils Residencia PATRÓN: A Cultural Destination Celebrating Mexican Culture and the Best of Mexico's Bold, Creative Innovators

ATOTONILCO EL ALTO, Jalisco, Mexico, March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PATRÓN Tequila, the world's number one super-premium tequila*, is bringing modern, Mexican luxury to New York City with Residencia PATRÓN, a destination celebrating Mexican culture and bold innovation. The experience brings together a representation of the PATRÓN time-honored, handcrafted tequila process alongside Mexican artisans, inventors and creators who push the boundaries of what contemporary Mexican luxury embodies.  PATRÓN is one of the few brands that still makes tequila the hard way – by hand.  Like the creatives featured at Residencia PATRÓN, PATRÓN believes in upholding a meticulous dedication to perfection, using the highest-quality natural elements.  It handcrafts tequila in small batches to ensure consistency and quality in production with one goal in mind - to create the finest tequila in the world.

Housed on Chelsea's iconic Gallery Row in New York City at Studio 525 on Friday March 25 and Saturday March 26, 2022, this limited time bookable experience is a destination where guests can enjoy Mexican food, drink, fashion and culture.  Residencia PATRÓN celebrates the bold energy of Mexico as a global creative hub. It features immersive architectural installations that pay homage to the PATRÓN time-honored tequila-making tradition, inclusive of its use of a tahona stone - a two-ton volcanic rock that crushes it's 100% Weber Blue Agave to create a simply perfect tequila.  PATRÓN is the leading producer of tahona-based tequila, a centuries old method used by very few modern-day tequila producers to capture the true essence and flavor of the agave.  The exhibit brings to life the unique production process of PATRÓN and the natural elements that when masterfully combined create the simply perfect, iconic taste of PATRÓN tequila.

Inspired by Mexico's surge of creatives and master makers, Residencia PATRÓN is brought to life in collaboration with Fabiola Zamora and Danaé Salazar, the luminaries and co-founders of Mexico's Revista 192.  The duo expertly curated a residency of bold Mexican creators and artists who represent the modern heritage and unshakeable integrity of Mexico.

"Residencia PATRÓN is a celebration of the pioneering spirit and passion these trailblazers put into perfecting their craft the way PATRÓN pioneered the super-premium tequila category—sharing a common, tireless dedication to achieving perfection in everything they create," notes Salazar.  "Together with PATRÓN, we've curated an experience that explores authentic Mexican luxury through the creative minds who are looking to past traditions, ingredients and materials to build contemporary approaches to art, fashion, music, and cuisine, similar to how PATRÓN approaches its time-honored, hand-crafted tahona-based tequila making process," says Zamora. 

Adds Chloe Lloyd-Jones, Vice President of Marketing at PATRÓN, "Just like our PATRÓN familia, these bold innovators maintain a tireless dedication to achieving perfection in everything they create.  PATRÓN is thrilled to bring together such an inspiring group of creative vanguards who relentlessly push the boundaries of what you think you know of Mexican creativity and luxury. We are honored to create a residency where consumers in the U.S. can experience the talent and vibrancy of these collaborators while also discovering the passion and mastery that goes into making PATRÓN tequila."
