Patrón rocks. Even when it’s served up. And in a few days it’ll rock even more. That’s because they’ve teamed up with John Varvatos for their first ever collaboration on a new design element to the brand’s iconic bottle. It’ll come in the form of a slick metal guitar head bottle stopper adorned with the Patrón bee and complete with turning keys. The bottle stopper, which comes with a 750ml bottle of Patrón Añejo tequila in a unique limited edition gift box, will hit stores next week. But…you already knew all this if you’re subscribing to our print. Click through to see the limited edition Patrón John Varvatos design and stay tuned for more details..

To dismiss Tequila Avion as the “Entourage tequila” would be a huge mistake. Although the tequila was the centerpiece of the final seasons of the hit HBO show, Tequila Avion is much more than a TV show prop. In fact, Tequila Avion is one of the few premium tequilas that has a solid shot at really taking on Patron.

Tequila Avion is different from many other tequilas on the market. Many blanco or silver tequilas (like Patron) deliver a pepper kick in the mid palate. This blast of pepper spice defines most of these tequilas. Avion goes about things a bit differently: rather than a blast of pepper, you get a pepper ramp. The spice builds gradually, steadily, and progressively as you drink it.
