Tres Generaciones Tequila Refreshes Packaging, Unveils Limited-edition Legacy Series

The new packaging honors the legacy of the past while striking a modernized look and feel. The updated bottles depict three stripes that graduate from imperfect to smooth, with the refinement representing both the brand’s distillation process and how each Don of the Sauza family legacy built upon the work of the generation prior. The new design is yet another reminder that great things take perseverance.

The company also released Cenobio’s Batch Plata, which is now available in limited quantities nationwide, is the premier entry into the Tres Generaciones Legacy Series, a set of limited-edition tequilas that celebrate the rich, illustrious Sauza family heritage.

Cenobio’s Batch Plata was created to honor the first generation of the family, Don Cenobio, who founded the Sauza dynasty. In 1873, Don Cenobio purchased the Sauza family distillery in Tequila, Jalisco, now known as “La Perseverancia” where Tres Generaciones is still produced today. True to his pioneering spirit, Cenobio was the first distiller to export tequila outside Mexico, transforming the local beverage into one of the world’s great spirits. His namesake batch of Plata tequila features tahona-crushed Blue Weber agave, triple distilled for pure agave taste and smoothness and offered at still strength.

Patron Tequila Marked Dia de Muertos with a Bee of a Story

Patron Tequila is celebrating Día de Muertos with a compelling story, narrated by Mexican actor, Eugenio Derbez, that highlights the traditions of honoring ancestors through the journey of the Calavera bee.

In accordance with ancient beliefs in Mexico, the veil between the two worlds—the worlds of the living and the dead—is lifted each year on Nov. 1-2 as people come together to welcome back the souls of their ancestors in a celebration of life for Día de Muertos. The holiday is observed through food, drinks, and rich symbolism including the Calavera, an ornate representation of the human skull.

Eugenio Derbez brings the story to life through a mystical and vibrant narration, guiding the viewer along the Calavera bee’s Día de Muertos journey. From Hacienda PATRÓN and our agave fields in the highlands of Jalisco to the lively streets of Mexico where Día de Muertos celebrations are taking place, the Calavera bee showcases the culture of Mexico interpreted through symbolic motifs of the time-honored holiday.
