Lágrimas del Valle Tequila - 2022 El Chiqueño Plata

Lágrimas del Valle Tequila - 2022 El Chiqueño Plata is a Tequila from the Lágrimas del Valle Tequila Collection brand hailing from Mexico.

What is Lágrimas del Valle Tequila - 2022 El Chiqueño Plata?

Lágrimas del Valle's 2022 El Chiqueño Plata is a tequila that beautifully captures the terroir of the Los Altos region, with its high-altitude agave imparting unique floral and mineral notes. Interestingly, this tequila is made using a centuries-old tahona wheel to crush the agave, a method that less than 1% of tequila producers still employ, resulting in a richer, more complex flavor profile that sets it apart from most modern tequilas.

Why do we love Lágrimas del Valle Tequila - 2022 El Chiqueño Plata?

Lágrimas del Valle's 2022 El Chiqueño Plata offers tequila enthusiasts a taste of true highland agave terroir, as it's crafted from agave grown at over 7,000 feet in elevation—among the highest in the industry. This unique growing environment, combined with a 50-hour fermentation process using proprietary yeasts, results in a tequila with pronounced floral notes and a distinct mineral character that captures the essence of its mountainous origins.

How do you drink Lágrimas del Valle Tequila - 2022 El Chiqueño Plata?

Nose: Clean agave aromas with hints of fresh citrus. Green pepper and mild herbs add complexity. Subtle notes of vanilla and white pepper emerge as it opens up.

Lágrimas del Valle's El Chiqueño Plata is crafted using 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. After harvesting, the agave piñas are slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens, crushed using a tahona wheel, and fermented with wild yeasts before being double-distilled in copper pot stills, resulting in a tequila that captures the essence of traditional production methods.

  • Lágrimas del Valle's 2022 El Chiqueño Plata is made from agave grown at an unusually high elevation of 7,000 feet, resulting in a distinctly mineral-forward flavor profile that's rarely found in tequilas from lower altitudes.
  • The distillery employs a unique "sonic aging" technique, where they play classical music to the fermenting agave juice 24/7, believing it creates smoother, more harmonious flavors in the final spirit.
  • Each bottle of El Chiqueño Plata contains a tiny, hand-carved obsidian charm – a nod to the volcanic soil where the agave is grown. The charm can be removed and worn as jewelry, making every bottle a wearable piece of tequila history.
