PATRÓN Tequila Unveils 'Censored Truth' Campaign for Transparency in Spirits Industry

PATRÓN Tequila Launches the 'Censored Truth' Campaign



In a groundbreaking move, PATRÓN® Tequila has unveiled its latest initiative, the 'Censored Truth' campaign, aimed at addressing the widespread lack of transparency in the tequila industry. Unveiled on July 9, 2025, this bold strategy seeks to encourage tequila enthusiasts to delve deeper into the information being communicated about their favorite spirit. While PATRÓN has always prided itself on using only three ingredients—100% Weber Blue Agave, water, and yeast—many brands face pressures that inhibit them from clearly disclosing whether they include additives. The 'Censored Truth' campaign is designed to confront this issue head-on and shed light on the barriers that producers encounter.

The campaign employs a creative mix of censored visuals, bleeped audio snippets, and redacted text to playfully challenge consumers to read between the lines. As consumers walk through select U.S. cities, including New York, New Orleans, Atlanta, New Jersey, and Cleveland, they will encounter outdoor advertisements featuring redacted elements that prompt them to uncover the real story. Alongside traditional advertising, the campaign will also feature** censored train wraps and radio ads sprinkled with playful bleeps to mimic censorship. In doing so, PATRÓN encourages drinkers to question the narrative they are presented with and to seek the full truth behind their spirits.

Roberto Ramirez-Laverde, Senior Vice President of PATRÓN Tequila, emphasizes that transparency is central to the brand’s philosophy. He states, “Our tequila is made with just three ingredients, and we believe people deserve to know exactly what goes into their drinks. The 'Censored Truth' campaign reflects our commitment to that promise, even if it requires us to use artistic censorship to work within industry constraints.”

Furthermore, while the tequila industry allows for up to 1% in additives without requiring labeling or disclosure, PATRÓN is standing firm in its commitment not to use any additional ingredients—a feature that sets them apart in a crowded market. The brand’s steadfastness in maintaining a clean and simple ingredient list forms the backbone of this campaign, shining a spotlight on the importance of transparency in the production of tequila and consumer expectations.

Highlighting the campaign's effectiveness, PATRÓN will engage key industry players during the renowned Tales of the Cocktail event in New Orleans, taking place on July 22nd and 23rd, 2025. Here, PATRÓN will host immersive experiences, educational panels, and tastings that further showcase the brand’s commitment to quality and clarity in what goes into every bottle.

With operations still rooted in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, PATRÓN Tequila adheres to a meticulous production process that remains unchanged despite its growth into one of the most recognized luxury spirit brands globally. Each bottle is crafted with care, ensuring that quality and craftsmanship remain uncompromised. With this campaign, PATRÓN is not only challenging the status quo but is also inviting consumers to join them in advocating for honesty and transparency in the spirits industry.
