Traditional Blanco Tequila in a Rock-n-Roll package.

Padre Azul is a relative newcomer to the Tequila market. Seeing a market for high-quality Tequila in Europe, a group of seven friends from Germany, France, and Austria with a shared passion for Mexico and Tequila launched company — Tradition Mexico GmbH — and their signature Pādre Azul line of Tequilas in 2016. Production is contracted through the famous Tres Mujeres distillery in Jalisco within the central Mexican Highlands. Their hand-made bottles have a distinctive “leather jacket” wrapping and heavy, skull-shaped bottle stopper in the traditional Mexican style.

All Tequilas named “Blanco” are un-aged — being bottled straight from the still. Notably, Pādre Azul Tequilas are distilled once at a relatively low temperature that allows them to maintain the lightly sweet character of the agave nectar. This gentle process helps the natural earthy, floral nature of the plant to shine through. With Pādre Azul Silver, the net result is an almost earthy-Gin-like texture and flavor.
