The Agave Social Club

In this special long-form conversation from The Agave Social Club, we sit down with David Rodríguez, master distiller of PATRÓN Tequila, alongside brand ambassador Roberto Núñez Moreno, to discuss the legacy of one of the world's most influential tequila brands.
We explore David’s journey with PATRÓN, the craftsmanship and responsibility behind producing tequila at a global scale, and how the brand helped redefine premium tequila for modern consumers. Roberto shares insight into the culture of PATRÓN, its connection to the community, and the role education plays in today’s tequila landscape.
The conversation also dives into the release of PATRÓN 100 — a 100% tahona-milled, 100 proof tequila that delivers the full character of the agave. Produced exclusively through the centuries-old tahona process, every drop is crushed by a volcanic stone wheel to unlock deeper, more complex flavor.

For this episode of The Agave Social Club, we sit down with legendary master distiller Julio Cova to discuss his incredible 40-year journey through the tequila industry, the evolution of modern tequila production, and what ultimately brought him out of retirement to partner with Dos Hombres Tequila.
Julio shares stories from decades spent crafting tequila in Jalisco, the lessons he has learned through generations of agave cultivation and distillation, and why passion for the craft never truly leaves you. We also dive into the creation of the new Dos Hombres tequila lineup and how the partnership with Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul came together through a shared respect for tradition, patience, and quality.
Throughout the conversation, Julio opens up about the importance of agave maturity and fermentation, and why authenticity still matters in today’s tequila boom.

In this episode of Agave Social Club, we sit down with JuanMa Trujillo, founder of Tequila Trujillo, to explore a story that starts long before tequila ever entered the picture.
Coming from a family deeply rooted in the agave industry through agave nectar production, JuanMa brings a unique perspective to tequila—one that’s grounded in raw material, farming relationships, and a deep respect for the plant itself.
We dive into how that background shaped his approach to building Tequila Trujillo, his partnership with master distiller Victor, and the decisions that define the profile in the bottle. From production philosophy to flavor, this is a conversation about intention, legacy, and what it really takes to stand out in today’s tequila landscape.
