Guillermo del Toro is one of the most visually imaginative directors in cinema history. This is his interpretation of Patrn and it is unlike any tequila bottle ever made.

This collaboration between Patrn and Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro is a collector’s object first and a premium tequila second though the tequila is exceptional in its own right. Del Toro brought his signature dark romanticism to the bottle design: intricate, hand-crafted, and packed with symbolic imagery drawn from his filmography and personal mythology. Each bottle is a wearable piece of del Toro’s creative universe.

The tequila inside is Patrn Extra Aejo aged a minimum of three years in a combination of American oak, Hungarian oak, and used Patrn whiskey barrels. At this age and with this cask diversity, Patrn Extra Aejo reaches a level of complexity well beyond the standard Patrn lineup. Rich, smooth, and deeply layered, it is a tequila that justifies being sipped slowly from a fine glass which is the only appropriate way to approach a bottle at this level.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep amber with a warm, burnished glow.
• Aroma: Dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and a subtle smoky oak character from the whiskey barrel influence.
• Palate: Rich and complex dark caramel, dried cherry, toasted oak, vanilla, and a smooth agave sweetness that integrates beautifully with the multi-barrel aging.
• Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying oak spice and dried fruit fading into a clean, elegant close.

The Bottle

Guillermo del Toro designed every element of this bottle personally the sculpted form, the imagery, the color palette. It draws from the iconography that defines his work: gothic architecture, mythology, creatures of the dark, and the boundary between the living and the dead. The bottle is displayed as often as it is opened, and in del Toro’s own words, it was designed to be kept long after the tequila is gone.
