Tequila Partida was rated higher than any other leading Tequila brand based on aggregate scores in a recent taste test conducted by The Academy of Tequila, the official Tequila tasting board of Mexico. The June 2010 issue of The Spirit Journal, America's leading spirit's review publication, rated Partida Reposado the best Tequila in the world (Partida Elegante Extra Añejo ranked #3) and one of the top five spirits in the world. The Partida Estate maintains exceptional standards of quality and consistency to produce 100% blue agave Tequila that is meant to be savored like a fine Cognac or single malt whiskey.

Tequila Partida shows its character and refinement from the moment it is poured, clinging to the glass like a fine wine. Begin your Tequila Partida tasting by taking in its enticing aroma. Then observe its beautiful color and striation. Finally, sip slowly to enjoy its rich, pure, exceptionally smooth taste with a hint of sweetness that is the hallmark of Tequila Partida.

The Partida Estate produces three unique premium Tequilas: Blanco, Reposado and Añejo.

Partida Blanco (Not Aged)
Redolent of blue agave, Partida Blanco is brilliant, clean and crisp; very floral, with notes of citrus. Well balanced with a fresh, pure agave flavor and a pleasant finish that lingers gently on the palate. Unlike any other Blanco.

Partida Añejo (Aged 18 Months)
Aged 18 months, a rarity even among so-called super-premium brands, Partida Añejo exhibits a depth of flavor that only comes from advanced aging. Intense golden color with ochre and copper tones; clean and full bodied. A fruity aroma with notes of cherry, almond and spices. Soft honey fruit tones, with flavors of spices and dried fruits reminiscent of sweet pear and almond, and a very pleasant finish. Tequila to be savored slowly.

Partida Elegante Extra Añejo (Aged 36 − 40 Months)
Elegante Extra Añejo is aged for 36 to 40 months in carefully selected one-pass Jack Daniels American Oak barrels. After 24 months, a small portion is transferred from 200 Liter barrels to 100 liter barrels. This transfer adds a touch of intensity to both the color and the flavor, and after aging is blended back together to create Elegante. Great clarity with deep amber hues. Notes of dark chocolate and dried fruit with a hint of vanilla. Opens up richly in the glass. Harmonious and complex with an elegant and smooth finish.
