What Is the Best Patrón Tequila?

Updated May 2026.

There is no official “best Patrón.” Celebrity-adjacent marketing is not a CRT class. The house FAQ prints core bottles at 40% ABV / 80 proof. Hacienda Patrón’s NOM is 1492 — the brand’s own NOM page. Silver is blanco. Reposado and añejo are age classes, not a ranking. A 1.5-ounce pour at 40% is one NIAAA drink. No 2026 list or MSRP.
