Master Tequilero Germán Gonzalez learned the art of making tequila from Guillermo Gonzalez, the former head of Mexico’s Department of Agriculture, who just also happened to be his father.
Originally intended to be German Gonzalez’ own private stock, Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila is hand-crafted from 100% blue agave grown in the volcanic soil surrounding Atotonilco, in the highlands of Jalisco. Fermented with a proprietary strain of yeast before being twice-distilled through copper pot stills and aged for 5 years in a variety of barrels. 50% in ex-Scotch whisky barrels, 25% inSherry casks and 25% in French Limousin barrels previously used for Cognac. Once each barrel has reached maturity the liquid is married into Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila.
A house favorite here at 479wine, Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila is one of the most under rated tequila's on the market. Full of such complexity and sophisticated layers, it's hard to argue a better tequila than this.

Pairings: Filet Mignon, Dark chocolate, Crème Brûlée
Serving Suggestions: Neat or chilled
Region: Mexico
Alcohol Content: 43%
