Padre azul Tequila: Home

I’ve been a big tequila fan for years, drink it for enjoyment, preferably from a cognac glass rather than a shot. At some point I came to Padre Azul and was thrilled.

Arnold tried it and he tastes it very well. He has it at home and likes to drink it to a good cigar. A good combination.

This unusual design is of course exactly my case. What excites me even more, however, is the taste. I haven't been a tequila drinker before, that has definitely changed - provided you don't compromise

“They’ve turned Padre Azul into a super-premium tequila as diabolical (and delightful) as the brand’s handcrafted, hand-stitched skull-topped bottles.”

David Hochman

“Padre Azul is a tequila made using experience rather than the strict application of science, in some ways nearer to artisanal mezcal than large-scale commercial tequila production.”

Simon Difford

“Padre Azul braucht weder Salz noch Zitrone – diesen Tequlia genießt man pur.”

100% hand crafted bottle

This bottle is by no means straightforward. It has a great love story and spirit behind it. To find out more, read the story

Stitching

The leather jacket with lacing is a tribute to the Mexican “Lucha Libre” wrestling masks and is a tribute to “El Santo”, the most famous luchador in Mexico.

The name

“Azul” refers to the “blue” Weber agave, from which tequila is made, and the name “Padre” does not mean the father, but quotes a popular Mexican saying: “que padre,” an expression of cheerful excitement, meaning “how fantastic” or “how wonderful”.

Skull cap

Padre azul bottles are topped with a 270-gram solid metal skull, paying homage to Dia de los Muertos and eternal friendship.

Hand blown bottles

You won’t find any compromises in the design of the unusual “Padre azul” bottle. Only the best is good enough for Padre azul, outside and in. The handmade bottle is inspired by Mexican heritage and culture. One important aspect of Mexican culture that fascinated Austrian HP Eder and his compadres was how much tradition and relationships with family and friends were valued, and he wanted to capture that on the bottle.
