Lagrimas del Valle 2023 El Sabino Plata

46% ABV

Lagrimas del Valle is a collaboration between Salvador "Chava" Rosales of Tequila Cascahuin and Lyons Brown of Altamar Brands who was one of the people behind Tequila Ocho (he is no longer affiliated). This tequila follows a similar concept in that they harvest agaves from a single plot of land, El Sabino in this case, and make a batch of vintage dated tequilas from that plot. This is the third edition from the brand. The agaves are brick oven roasted and crushed with both a stone tahona and mechanical mill. The juice is spontaneously fermented in both wooden tinas with bagasso (agave fibers) and in stainless steel tanks. It's twice distilled in stainless steel pots with copper coils.
