Tears of Llorona No 3 Extra Anejo Tequila
Tears of Llorona stands proudly as an exceptional extra extra añejo tequila, crafted to perfection. Its journey begins with 100% blue agaves sourced from the high volcanic slopes of Jalisco, where the slow growth of the agaves ensures unparalleled quality. Master Tequilero Germán Gonzalez, with his expert touch, hand-selects these agaves, allowing them to be harvested late, thereby augmenting their starch and sugar content. The piñas, or hearts of the agaves, are meticulously roasted in the traditional manner, imparting depth and complexity to the tequila. Germán's proprietary yeast and a deliberate slow fermentation process further enhance the development of flavors. Distillation takes place in copper pot stills, harnessing the essence of the agaves with precision. Tears of Llorona undergoes a truly unique aging process, maturing in three distinct types of barrels. The oak barrels have previously held scotch, sherry, and brandy, infusing the tequila with a complex fusion of flavors. Germán carefully selects and blends these barrels in small batches, crafting a spirit that transcends traditional tequila and resembles the sophistication of cognac. The tequila's name, Tears of Llorona, draws inspiration from the "angel's tears" - the high rate of osmotic loss during the aging process. This phenomenon, coupled with the emotional resonance of the name, adds another layer of depth to the spirit. Tears of Llorona has garnered acclaim from an impressive array of esteemed publications and experts. The Wall Street Journal, The Robb Report, Forbes, Vanity Fair, Food & Wine, Men's Journal, New York Times, Huffington Post, and many others have all recognized and praised this spirit as a worthy contender among the world's finest. Tears of Llorona is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that defines the pinnacle of tequila-making.

The ethos of 818 Tequila goes beyond just creating exceptional spirits. The brand recognizes the importance of sustainability and transparency throughout its supply chain. Taking inspiration from the area code 818, which represents their home, they also acknowledge that the earth is home to all of us. With this in mind, 818 Tequila places great emphasis on sourcing their agaves responsibly and ensuring the production process is environmentally friendly. The journey of 818 Tequila begins with the skilled jimadores, local agave farmers from the Tequila region. These experts identify the optimal conditions for growing agaves in the Los Valles region, patiently waiting for at least 7 years until the agaves reach peak maturity. Once harvested, the agaves undergo a slow cooking process that lasts for over 30 hours. Large stone Tahonas, weighing 800 kilograms each, are then utilized to crush the cooked agaves. This age-old technique allows for the extraction and collection of the juice, preserving the authenticity and tradition of tequila production. The extracted juice, known as "mosto," then goes through a natural fermentation process. Unique wood and stainless steel tanks are utilized, and the fermentation is enriched by using leftover agave fibers from the tahonas. Native yeast is added to enhance the aromatic expression, resulting in a deeper and more nuanced flavor profile. The tequila is distilled in hand-built copper alembic pot stills of the highest quality. It undergoes a double distillation process, carefully monitoring the alcohol volume to achieve the desired smoothness that 818 Tequila is known for. To further enhance the character of the tequila, it is aged in superior oak barrels. The Reposado and Añejo expressions are aged in both American and French oak, allowing for a harmonious fusion of flavors. Expert blending techniques ensure that each bottle of 818 Tequila embodies the iconic taste that the brand is celebrated for - smooth, versatile and sippable. 818 Tequila Blanco 700ml is a remarkable expression that showcases the brand's dedication to crafting exceptional tequila.

It leaves a crisp impression on the palate, with lingering notes of almond, key lime pie and toasted coconut. These flavors add depth and complexity to the overall profile, making each sip a memorable one. What makes 818 Tequila Blanco 700ml special is its resting period in oak barrels. This process imparts a fresh vanilla roundness to the tequila, enhancing its flavour profile and adding a touch of smoothness to the finish.
