Roca Patron Silver Tequila 750mL

Released in the summer of 2014, Roca, Spanish for "rock", refers to the two-ton stone (called a "tahona") that is used to crush the cooked agaves.

This more traditional method is not often used as the more mechanized roller mills shred the agave fibers much faster and cheaper. But bitter flavors are imparted to the final product.

The juice and fibers from the tahona pressing are included in the fermentation and the distillation.
