Tequila must follow a strict set of rules before it can be called tequila. First, producers must make tequila in Mexico, and only in Jalisco, Nayarit, Guanajuato, Michoacán, and Tamaulipas. Producers must harvest the blue agave plant and take its core, or the piña bulb. This core is baked, shredded to extract its juices, fermented, distilled, and aged. Traditionally, brands distill tequila twice before it is bottled and sold.
PATRÓN, however, is changing that with the launch of the PATRÓN EL CIELO. The prestige spirit is the first in the world to be distilled four times. This process results in a smooth tequila that unlocks the naturally sweet flavors of the agave. Filipinos can enjoy this drink as it is now available in the Philippines.

PATRÓN EL CIELO is made with 100% naturally perfect ingredients, including the highest-quality Weber Blue agave, water, and yeast. The brand also uses a centuries-old process of extracting the juice using volcanic stone called a tahona to create the EL CIELO (and all the products in the PATRÓN portfolio).
The EL CIELO was achieved after over 150 tasting sessions, reflecting the countless hours, passionate experimentations, and extraordinary lengths PATRÓN goes to create its naturally perfect tequila.
PATRÓN EL CIELO is crafted in small batches to ensure consistency and quality. The meticulous process brings an incomparable taste with a bright, fresh, smooth, and citrusy finish.

PATRÓN launched the EL CIELO in the most spectacular way: by revealing the 26-member Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, which was hidden prior to the grand reveal. They performed their first-ever Electronic Dance Music (EDM) set under the baton of Maestro Rodel Colmenar. Elmer Dado and the Gruppo Tribale also showcased a unique DJ set with drums and bongos. The party continued till the wee hours with music by DJs Martin Pulgar and Kat DJ.
