Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila

Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo is a rare, small-batch masterpiece—velvety, complex and crafted for contemplative sipping. Aged five years in casks that previously held Scotch, Sherry and Brandy, it marries deep, old-world complexity with luminous agave character. Expect caramel custard, dried fruit and dark chocolate on the nose; a rich, spice-laced palate; and a finish as comforting as “a warm scarf on a cold day.”

Tasting Notes & Experience

Deep amber in the glass with slow, elegant legs. Aromas of caramel flan, cacao, dried figs and orange peel lift from the glass. The palate is layered and resonant—roasted agave wrapped in baking spice, candied citrus, walnut and a touch of espresso. Texture is silk-smooth and mouth-coating, tapering to a long, warming finish with echoes of cocoa, toasted oak and sweet tobacco.

Pairing Suggestions

Designed for the table rather than the shaker, this extra añejo pairs beautifully with richly flavoured dishes. Try it alongside dry-aged ribeye, where char and marbling mirror its oak and spice; with butter-poached crayfish or bold seafood, whose sweetness complements its caramel and fruit; or with flourless dark-chocolate torte, which echoes its cacao and dried-fruit notes. Many aficionados also enjoy it slowly with a fine cigar, letting the smoke and spice evolve between sips.

Craftsmanship & Story

Created by renowned tequilero Germán González Gorrochotegui, Tears of Llorona is made from late-season, high-altitude blue agaves selected for exceptional sugar and flavour concentration. After traditional cooking, fermentation and careful distillation, the tequila rests for approximately five years, developing profound depth before being married across Scotch, Sherry and Brandy barrels. Named for the legend of La Llorona—whose tears inspired its soul and patience—this is a spirit conceived for sharing in quiet, luxurious moments.
