Tears of Llorona Extra Añejo

86 SCORE

“Wonderfully hedonistic with layers of barrel aged notes of butter, toffee, caramel, wood spice and cooked agave. Lush mouthfeel with a plush texture. Long elegant finish. No burn despite the 43abv. The only knock against this Tequila is the $325 price tag. There are many others at $100 with similar ability to deliver a rich and satisfying drink. ”

Fortaleza Añejo

83 SCORE

“This Anejo is lighter in color indicating that it was not in barrel that long, or the barrels were well used. Pleasant agave aromas and rather subtle, yet pleasant secondary and tertiary notes of herbs and spices. Lacks much of the aged notes that I desire, like maple, caramel, butter etc. Overall, pleasant but not the top of the pack.”
