Only after that full aging process is complete does the tequila undergo charcoal filtration, stripping away the amber color while deliberately preserving the complexity the wood imparted along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAs Patrón's own team describes their philosophy: \"crafting tequila is an art that balances tradition and innovation.
