12Patrón Ahumado Silver is a limited edition release created with both the tequila and mezcal drinker in mind. It begins with 100% Blue Weber agave, but here the ripe agave piñas are roasted with mesquite charcoal for seven days in underground stone pits. Then the cooked piñas are crushed using a tahona stone wheel. Ahumado translates to smoky, so expect to find that flavor profile in the tequila. Patrón recommends to drink the tequila neat or in a Smoky Margarita. Available beginning April 2023 for a limited time. (SRP $69.99)
