Patrón Tequila has announced the launch of its latest limited-edition expression, Patrón Chairman’s Reserve, which --thanks to the brand's partnership with BlockBar.com -- comes with Patrón's first-ever NFT. As a result, the unique "phygital" release sees the luxury tequila maker deciding to opt into the NFT craze in a bold and innovative way.
The Patrón Chairman’s Reserve is made from 100% Extra Añejo that has been aged in a mix of Sauternes (80%) barrels, French Limousin barrels, and American Oak casks. The limited-edition bottle arrives in a handmade crystal decanter that is packaged inside a unique box that features front-opening double doors. The tequila is said to present tasting notes of caramel, honey, and butter with hints of orange and tangerine.
"As one of the few brands that still make Tequila by hand, it’s exciting to be able to bring our passion and dedication to perfection and craftsmanship into the digital realm to a new audience of NFT collectors," said Kathy Parker, President and Global Chief Marketing Officer for Patrón.
