Tears of Llorona Extra Añejo Review
Aged in sherry, Scotch, and Cognac casks, this extra añejo is matured for a total of five years — two years longer than is standard or required for the style. Despite that age, the final spirit is not consumed by the casks, offering the distinctive presence of vegetal agave from beginning to finish. The influence of the different barrels mainly comes into play on the palate, providing richness, a velvety texture, and a persistent finish.
