A stellar Tequila with the complexity of the finest Cognacs and Single Malts.

Germán Gonzalez is a bit of a Tequila legend. He is a great-great grandson of General Manuel Gonzalez — president of Mexico in the late 1800s. His father owned a small agave farm in Jalisco and distilled fine Tequilas. This is where Germán learned the business. When his father passed, he started making his own Tequilas — borrowing the copper pot still of a close family friend. His signature Tequila is the well-regarded T1 Tequila Añejo in five varieties. Now he has branched out into the super-premium market with his Tears of Llorona Extra Añejo Tequila

As you might guess, Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila is the third limited release of Germán Gonzalez’s personal masterpiece. Tears of Llorona is 100% Weber Blue Agave. The agave hearts — piñas — are slow roasted in the traditional way and fermented with a proprietary yeast strain (we asked, but he’s not telling this secret). Unlike most Tequilas, 1/2 of Tears of Llorona is aged in Scotch barrels, 1/4 in Sherry casks, and 1/4 in Cognac barrels for five years. Germán was attempting to make a Tequila that rivaled the finest Cognacs and Scotches in depth and complexity. We think that he did just that.

Smartass Corner:
In Spanish, "Llorona" means "the woman who cries." Germán got the name "Tears of Llorona” by tying together the Mexican "myth of the crying woman" and the angel’s who weep that they on get a small share of the Spirit during aging.

In general, price of Tequila goes up with age, so añejos and extra añejos will be the most expensive and blancos the cheapest.
Tequila is made from one type of agave, Blue agave. Each of these plants takes at least 6 years, more likely a year or two longer to mature.
The strongest Tequila available for sale clocks in at 75% ABV (150 proof). This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but drinking huge amounts of this spirit is likely te-quil-a.
Tequila goes bad with time. Once you open a bottle of Tequila, you better be in the mood to drink it. Generally, you have one to two months before oxidization and evaporation diminish the Tequila quality and destroy the Agave flavor profile.
Tequila labeled Gold (Oro) is your indicator (i.e., red flag) that you’re dealing with a mixto Tequila - unaged silver Tequila that has been colored and flavored with caramel to give the appearance of aged Tequila.
There are over 136 species of Agave. For Tequila to be officially called “Tequila,” it must be comprised of at least 51% of the Blue Weber Agave species.
