In the Winter issue of Tequila Aficionado, we go in-depth with David Rodriguez, the Master Distiller at the helm of Patrón Tequila. We also reveal our 2025 Brands of Promise winners, begin exploring the growing buzz around Mexican wine, and take a closer look at the patience, proof, and purpose behind fan-favorite tequila Xoloitzcuintle—along with the vision of its founder, Ernesto Aguirre IV.
