So what does one do upon purchasing a bottle of Patrón Silver? Well, join the newly launched Patrón Social Club, that’s what. It’s actually free to join, but if you own a bottle, you can ID it (by entering the unique handwritten number on the side of the bottle) and get a detailed breakdown of the contents, amongst other bottle-owning exclusivities. From the site:

When you ID a bottle, we know you’re a true Patrón enthusiast - and you never know how we’ll show our appreciation

Oooh! Hopefully in a very sexy way. Now, here are the precise details of my bottle:

Perfection comes in many different sizes, shapes and colors.

Here’s everything you ever wanted to know about your bottle of Patrón Silver.

Harvested Year: 2006

The size of the agave head (piña) is not as important as its sugar content (at least 24% or higher is preferred).

Distilled Date: 2006

Each batch of Patrón Silver is fine-filtered and balanced under the supervision of renowned master distiller Francisco Alcarez.

Bottle Crafted Date: 2006

Just like fingerprints, no two bottles are the same. An artisan schooled in the art of glassmaking individually handcrafts each bottle of Patrón Silver.

Field Location: Tepatitlán

20°34’00”N, 103°40’35”W, in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico - a hilly region 7,500 feet above sea level, and the perfect place for growing blue agave, the same agave used in every bottle of Patrón.

In addition to numerous flash-based articles covering the gamut of fashion, music, summer party ideas and premium drinking culture, the social club contains a large assortment of Patrón approved mixed cocktail suggestions, which reminds me that I need to stock up on certain fruit juices, citrus fruits and perhaps some soda water.

And hey, apparently there’s going to be a G-Shock/Patrón event in NYC on the 5th of August featuring a performance by Mr. “by his-self, he so impressed”. Dope, cuz I’ve got a G-Shock on my left wrist and a bottle of Patrón in my right hand, so that should be enough to get me in, right? Oh wait, I’m short one plane ticket to The Planet aka NYC (d’uh-oh). In any event, this premium Mexican spirit has officially become my 2K9 summer drink (if you remember, last year it was Pernod Absinthe).
