Pātsch Tequila
Perfect as a business gift, a new tequila is combining top quality with striking design. Pātsch is the German word for “slap,” which accurately describes the pleasurable effect the spirit inspires by awakening the senses with deep aromas and multilayered flavors.
The brainchild of Martin Schapira, lead designer for Okeanos Aquascaping—a celebrated firm whose aquariums and water features are prominent aspects of collaborations with architects such as David Rockwell and Robert A.M. Stern—the tequila is based on 100-percent blue Weber agave from Jalisco, Mexico. Schapira worked with expert distiller Las Americas to craft his ideal product, while he personally devised the bottle, a tribute to fashion icon Alexander McQueen adorned with takes on the designer’s knuckles and spikes. Each Pātsch classification delivers its own memorable taste experience.
Pātsch Blanco
Remarkably smooth with hints of green grass softened by aromatic vanilla. I prefer to drink this fine tequila on the rocks with a twist of any fresh citrus, but it can also be used as the base for a superior margarita.
Pātsch Reposado
This “rested” tequila has taken a siesta inside American bourbon casks for more than six months. The result is a golden-hued spirit with a depth of flavor that includes toffee and caramel. It should be savored neat or with a single large ice cube.
Pātsch Extra Añejo
A seven-year aging process—the average is three—differentiates this añejo tequila from others on the market. With an impressive dark color, it is smooth and silky, filling the mouth with hints of toffee and oak. A wonderful nightcap indulgence. patschtequila.com
