Tears of Llorona is a blend of extra añejo tequilas half of which were finished in Scotch whisky barrels, a quarter in Sherry wood, and a quarter in French Limousin barrels used previously to mature Cognac.

Tears of Llorona is an extra extra añejo tequila. It begins as 100% blue agaves from high volcanic slopes in Jalisco, where growth is slow. Master Tequilero Germán Gonzalez hand selects the agaves and has them harvested late, increasing their starch and sugars. The piñas are roasted slowly in the traditional way. His yeast is proprietary and fermentation is slow. Distillation is by copper pot still and barreling is at very high specific gravity.

Tears is aged in three different barrels -- oak that has previously held scotch, sherry, and brandy -- and brought together in very small batches to create a complex fusion that is more like a cognac than a tequila. Germán then bottles at 43% specific gravity to balance the flavors. This results in a very high rate of osmotic loss - the “angel's tears” that are one reason for the name, Tears of Llorona.

Tears of Joy

This is a pretty hard to find tequila with exquisite smoothness and a feel of "almost cognac" as it passes the lips. Not a drop of harshness or bitter aftertaste. Despite the horrible back story of the name of the bottle, this is sipping tequila at its best.

Underperformed for the legend behind it

Definitely a solid tequila. Standard agave nose with hints of white pepper. Cinnamon and caramel on the palate. No aftertaste. Not very complex. For the price point and 1 L it barely comes in as worth it if you have the extra money to spend. But maybe not one to save up for if it is out of your usual price range
