Tears of Llorona Extra Anejo Tequila (375ML)

Worth Magazine, www.worth.com: Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila is something to behold…Unlike most tequilas, half of each Tears of Llorona batch is aged in scotch barrels, a quarter in sherry casks and another quarter in cognac barrels—all for five years before being mixed together. Its namesake is based on a Mexican lore that Tears of Llorona founder German Gonzalez heard as a young man. La Llorona, or “The Weeping Lady,” is a Mexican legend that tells of an Aztec princess who was abandoned by a Spanish conquistador with whom she had fallen madly in love; blinded by her grief, she drowned her children and then herself. Fortunately for imbibers of Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila, there is no reason for sorrow; quite the opposite, as every sip will bring a smile to your face, no matter how discerning a palate you might have. The differently aged tequilas melodiously combine their aromatic notes to compose a sweet song of black cherries, vanilla, honeysuckle and apples. Its flavor profile is a rush of sweet chocolate and toffee that finishes with spiced notes of cinnamon, caramel and oak. You can’t go wrong with this one.” 12/20
