What is Lalique?
Lalique is a French glass art company based in Paris. Founded in 1888, it is named after glassmaker and jeweler René-Jules Lalique. It is famous for producing perfume bottles, vases and even hood ornaments during the early 1900s. Its first brand collaboration was with perfumer François Coty in 1907.
In 2008 Lalique was acquired by the Swiss company Art & Fragrance, who changed their name to Lalique Group in 2016.
Lalique also owns single malt producer The Glenturret, the oldest working distillery in Scotland.
Why is Patrón en Lalique so expensive?
The Patrón en Lalique series sit at the expensive end of tequila. In the luxury world prices can tend to get carried away. But when there are so few bottles released, 299 in the case of the second series of Patrón en Lalique, there only need to be a few people willing to pay to justify the price. For scale, Patrón’s 2025 global volume was 2.7 million nine-liter cases, equivalent to 32.4 million 750 ml bottles. Source: The Spirits Business, Brand Champions 2026.
The bottles themselves are also expensive, taking time to craft and being from a renowned glassmaker. The linked retail examples priced Lalique decanters on their own between $2,000 and $4,000, adding significantly to the bill. Creating unique decanters in such small batches will only increase costs further.
By offering a luxury line up like Patrón en Lalique the brand is positioning itself for all its consumers as a high quality producer. The theory is that this raises its esteem among all drinkers, even those who will never consider spending such amounts. I suspect a $10,000 bottle also helps make a $60 or $70 Patrón look affordable.
Alternatives to Patrón en Lalique
Patrón en Lalique is a series of extra añejos, meaning the tequila has been aged for more than three years. Serie 1 was aged for a minimum four years, Serie 2 was aged for an average of more than seven years and Serie 3 was a combination of ages up to eight years.
Lower-priced Patrón bottles include several extra añejos, as well as Gran Patrón Burdeos, which is not an extra añejo.
- Patrón Extra Añejo
- aged at least three years
- Listed price: $70-$80
- Aged in French, American and Hungarian oak
- Patrón Extra Añejo 10 Años (Patrón X)
- Aged for 10 years
- Listed price: $300-$380
- Aged in American and French Limousin oak
- Gran Patrón Piedra
- aged for four years
- Listed price: $330-$400
- Agave crushed with a tahona, a large stone wheel
- Aged in French Limousin and new American oak
- Gran Patrón Burdeos
- Aged for more than one year
- Listed price: $450-$550
- Aged in used American and new French oak barrels, finished in Bordeaux wine barrels
The most expensive of these alternatives is Gran Patrón Burdeos. Considering it’s not even an extra añejo, the pricing looks a little too high for just the liquid. However it does come in a premium bottle.
Surprisingly, the Patrón Extra Añejo 10 Year is aged even longer than the Patrón en Lalique series and was listed for as little as $300. The Patrón Extra Añejo 10 Year is still not cheap by any means, but compares very well to other expressions. While it comes in a unique bottle which is a replica of Patrón’s first bottle design, it is not as fancy as the others, which may account for its relative affordability.

The Glenturret and Lalique

The Macallan in Lalique
Macallan’s 72-year-old single malt was released in a Lalique decanter in 2018. Distilled in 1940, the brand produced 600 bottles. Priced at $60,000 at launch, the bottles later had asking prices upwards of $130,000.
The brands also partnered on the “Six Pillars” series, with a range of bottles and whisky aged from 50 to 65 years. Prices ranged from $150,000 to $230,000. The Macallan Decanter Series ‘No. 6. in Lalique’ was more affordable, at around $5,000.
