Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh agave leads with grassy and herbal notes. Hints of citrus zest and white pepper add brightness. Light mineral undertones reminiscent of wet stone.
Palate: Smooth entry with a silky texture. Cooked agave sweetness balanced by green vegetal flavors. Lime and grapefruit pith provide subtle bitterness. Peppery spice builds gradually. Faint almond and vanilla notes in the background.
Finish: Medium-length with lingering warmth. Agave and citrus fade, leaving a clean, slightly spicy sensation. Gentle mint and eucalyptus coolness emerges at the end. Mineral notes resurface, adding complexity.
How It's Made
Lágrimas del Valle 2023 El Sabino Plata Tequila is crafted using traditional methods, with agave piñas roasted in brick ovens before being crushed by a tahona wheel. What sets this tequila apart is its use of spring water from the distillery's own natural spring, which flows through volcanic rock and imparts unique mineral characteristics to the final spirit.
