Tears of Llorona Extra Añejo Tequila
Experience the unparalleled artistry of Master Distiller Germán González Gorrochotegui with Tears of Llorona Extra Añejo, a rare and luxurious small-batch tequila that has earned the moniker "the Pappy Van Winkle of Tequila."
This exceptional spirit is aged for nearly five years, far beyond the industry standard for Extra Añejo—in a unique, carefully selected trio of barrels: Scotch, Sherry, and Spanish Brandy. This triple-cask aging process creates a complex, layered fusion, yielding a depth of flavor more akin to a fine cognac or aged whiskey, yet maintaining the sublime essence of high-altitude, late-harvest blue agave.
Intended to be savored slowly and neat, Tears of Llorona is a handcrafted masterpiece perfect for the discerning palate of the tequila aficionado or the serious whiskey/bourbon collector. It is a true sipping experience that engages all the senses.
The Legend Behind the Name: Tears of Llorona
Few legends haunt Latin American folklore quite like La Llorona, the Weeping Woman. According to the tale, a woman named Maria, consumed by heartbreak after being abandoned by an unfaithful or distant lover, drowned her own children in a river in a moment of devastating grief. The instant the act was done, guilt and sorrow overtook her, and she took her own life. But heaven denied her entry without her children by her side, and so her spirit was cursed to wander the riverbanks for eternity, weeping in the darkness as she searches endlessly for the children she lost.
It's a story of raw emotion, irreversible loss, and a grief so profound it transcends death itself, and it's precisely that intensity that inspired master distiller Germán González to lend her name to his signature spirit. Tears of Llorona reflects not only the deep passion and painstaking craft poured into every bottle, but also a poetic nod to the aging process itself: the "angel's share," the portion of tequila lost to evaporation through the barrel over years of patient aging, mirrors La Llorona's own eternal tears, a beautiful, bittersweet cost of something made with time, devotion, and sacrifice.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Deep, mesmerizing amber hue with long, elegant "legs" that cling to the glass.
- Aroma: Rich and inviting bouquet of caramel custard, dried fruit (raisins, fig jam), dark chocolate, and sweet baking spices like vanilla and cinnamon. Subtle hints of honeysuckle and roasted agave peek through the aging notes.
- Palate: A complex and velvety symphony of flavors. Notes of toffee, crème brûlée, salted caramel, and black cherries are balanced by a delightful, heady spiciness and a gentle oaky warmth.
- Finish: Long, luxurious, and elegant. It lingers with impressions of oak, dark chocolate, and a touch of gentle spice, often described as a comforting and memorable finish—"a warm scarf on a cold day."

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
