Hamilton, Bermuda-based Bacardi Ltd. announced the expansion of Hacienda Patrón, Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco, Mexico, with the new addition of its state-of-the-art Aged Barrel Room. PATRÓN Tequila officially opened the doors to the Francisco Alcaraz Barrel Room, which is two times the size of the current barrel room allowing for an increase in production of current PATRÓN expressions and continued innovation of the brand’s ever-evolving aged tequila portfolio, the company says.
The addition of the Francisco Alcaraz Barrel Room will allow PATRÓN to nearly double the rate of production of its aged portfolio, it says. The 16,850-square-foot expansion provides more space to run aging trials and Hacienda Patrón will store more than 20,000 barrels of tequila between both barrel rooms combined.
