Named after the legs, or “tears”, you see on the side of your glass after swirling, @TearsofLlorona is an extra añejo tequila produced by Master Tequilero Germán Gonzalez. Germán 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. When his father passed, he started making his own tequilas, borrowing the copper pot still of a close family friend. While his signature tequila is @T1_Tequila, he has now branched out into the super-premium market with his @TearsofLlorona Extra Añejo Tequila. As you might guess, @TearsofLlorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila is the third limited release of Germán Gonzalez’s personal masterpiece. This tequila is 100% Weber Blue Agave. The agave hearts, or piñas, are slow-roasted in the traditional way and fermented with a proprietary yeast strain. Unlike most tequilas, ½ of Tears of Llorona is aged in scotch barrels, ¼ in sherry casks, and ¼ in Spanish brandy barrels for five years. Germán’s goal was to create a tequila that rivaled fine cognacs and scotches in depth and complexity. After tasting Tears, I realized that he has successfully achieved that goal.
