5 Best Tequila Brands of 2023

3. Patrón

One of the most popular tequila brands available on the market, the original Patrón began production at one of Mexico’s oldest distilleries, Casa 7 Leguas. The Bacardi-owned brand produces high-quality, ultra-premium tequilas, that like all tequilas, are produced in Mexico from the “corazon” (core) of the blue agave plant.

In addition to its core range of tequilas, Patrón also produces limited edition and specialty bottlings, including its Patrón en Lalique series, which features tequila housed in handmade crystal decanters.  In 2021, the tequila brand recorded volume sales of 3.2 million 9 liter cases worldwide. Over the past decade, the brand’s sales volume has grown by over one million cases.
