Patrón x Guillermo del Toro "The Transfiguration" — 750ml | 40% ABV
An Architectural Masterpiece of Tequila This limited edition is housed in a stunning, matte-black "altar" box that opens to reveal a centerpiece bottle designed by del Toro. The set is uniquely configured: the main 750ml bottle contains the Extra Añejo tequila, while a smaller 100ml "skull" liqueur bottle rests atop it, intended to be mixed or sipped alongside the spirit.
The Spirit: A Rare Extra Añejo Blend The tequila itself is a complex blend of Patrón tequilas aged for an average of five years in a combination of new American and used French oak barrels. This extended aging results in a profile far richer and more "oak-forward" than the standard Patrón line, leaning into the dark, gothic aesthetic del Toro is known for.
