Tears of Llorona Extra Anejo Tequila - 750ml
Tears of Llorona Extra Añejo Tequila is a rare gem, crafted with meticulous care and never intended for commercial sale. The process begins with 100% pure Weber Agave Azul, cultivated on the volcanic slopes of the Mexican highlands. These agaves mature slowly, naturally accumulating a higher starch content. The result? A tequila of unparalleled quality and depth.
