The never-before-told story of Patr n Tequila--the brand that revolutionized an industry

How a billion-dollar business ascended from a forgotten dusty agave field in central Mexico

The Patr n Way details the unorthodox building of the brand, the extraordinary creativity and marketing ingenuity of Patr n's cofounder, Martin Crowley, and his life partner, Ilana Edelstein, and the way Patr n single-handedly transformed the face of the liquor industry. Edelstein was involved in every aspect of the business--from the brand's iconic bottle to designing the sexy and attention-getting outfits worn by the famous "Patr n Girls" at promotions and parties to running the back office.

Patr n is a tequila so sumptuous--and so brilliantly marketed--that it has become the world's leading ultrapremium tequila and has changed the way the spirit is experienced: what was once "gasoline" slammed back in a shot glass is now poured from an exquisite hand-blown bottle into a chilled glass and sipped to attain a "Patr n high."

Today, Patr n has grown to over a billion-dollar brand, and it is the largest generator of revenue of all tequila brands. Edelstein combines the dramatic story of the company's rise to success in an astonishingly competitive and sometimes cutthroat industry with practical business lessons about R&D and brand building that business leaders can put to productive use in any industry.

A tale of love, sacrifice, celebrity, dizzying success, and ultimate betrayal, The Patr n Way reveals for the first time all the details behind the intimate relationship and marketing genius of the "power couple" that transformed the spirits industry.

PRAISE FOR THE PATR N WAY

"The Patr n Way is a good chronicle of a luxury brand's path to success. . . . Ms. Edelstein dispenses useful advice to aspiring entrepreneurs."
The Wall Street Journal

"Anyone desirous of making sense of tequila's current status will be well served by chugging The Patr n Way."
Slate

"There are some good lessons for entrepreneurs launching a product. No doubt, the rise of Patr n is something many would love to emulate. And Ilana Edelstein was there from the beginning and delivers an inside view of the story."
New York Journal of Books

"Business lessons echoing 'know who the true tastemakers are, and use them wisely' are sprinkled throughout the book. . . . most readers will appreciate the informal 'tell-all' style that reveals an emphasis on doing some paperwork to cement their role in any business they help grow."
Library Journal

"I can honestly say The Patr n Way by Ilana Edelstein was a delicious cocktail of innovation and inspiration with a twist of tragedy for a bittersweet finish."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY! A toy that can handle my furry demolition expert!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Large
Let me tell you about Moxie, my 97-pound Rottweiler who has made it her life's mission to destroy every single toy that dares enter our home. This girl has teeth that could probably open cans and jaws that make nutcrackers jealous. I've spent more money on "indestructible" dog toys than I care to admit, only to find sad little pieces scattered across my living room within hours. BUT THEN... enter the Tikaton Indestructible Dog Chew Toy! 🎉 I'll be honest - I bought this with zero expectations. Just another victim for Moxie's reign of terror, right? WRONG! This bone has been in our house for THREE MONTHS and it's still going strong! Sure, Moxie has made some progress (she's persistent, I'll give her that), but this thing is holding up like a champ against her industrial-strength chompers. The best part? Moxie is absolutely OBSESSED. She carries this bone around like it's her precious treasure, gnawing away contentedly for hours. It's given my furniture, shoes, and sanity a much-needed break! Pros: Actually lives up to the "indestructible" claim (mostly!) Keeps my destruction-loving pup busy for hours Great value - lasting months instead of minutes No weird smell or toxic materials Cons: Nothing is truly indestructible when facing Hurricane Moxie, but this comes pretty darn close! Fellow owners of canine wrecking balls - THIS IS THE ONE! Your wallet and your home will thank you. Update: Month 4 and still chewing! Moxie approves this message with enthusiastic tail wags.

Our Belgian Malinois loves them, her favorite is the beef, as you can see. They last several months, we swap them out around the 3 to 4 month mark.

Great buy-read update
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Large
My dog loved it right away. Kept going from his old bone to this one and finally just stuck with this one. My dog is a 90 pound 1.5 year old German Shepherd. The size is fine. I don’t know what the other people were talking about when they said the large was too small for big dogs. It’s not indestructible, after one day there were serious gouges on it, but it looks like it’s going to last quite awhile. I will say, he’s not able to gnaw off little pieces of it, and that’s a great thing. I couldn’t give it five stars, because we just received it, and the dog has only had it for a few days. So it’s 4 stars. ****UPDATE**** As of Jan. 1, 2021, the bone is in the trash. The thing seemed to get softer and come apart more easily the more he chewed. I was finding little pieces all over and god only knows much of it he swallowed. Now I give it 3 stars.

Yes it's for aggressive chewers
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium
I have 2 dogs a malti poo and 120 lb pit rotty mix. My son just moved in with his 8 month old pitty/ 90 lbs. needless to say we have purchased sooo many bones and toys, always have to have bones for them all or they argue and fight. This bone we have had for about 8 -9 days.. They all chew on it non stop and it is still fully intact with a few rough areas where they chewed up the suface. The picture was taken today. But keep in mind they will typically go through a large elk antler ($40) in about 4-5 days.. down to splinters. but not this bone. I got the beef. It does have a slight smell, kind of beefy but no worse than some other bones we bought. Only noticed it taking it out of the package. They all enjoy it. I was worried they wouldn't be interested because it's fake.. but no. I will definitely purchase a few more cuz when someone isn't home the pitty will chew shoes or remotes, etc. Every day was a new surprise. But he hasn't touched anything since we got this bone. I would definitely recommend for aggressive chewers and the price is reasonable.
