Tasting Notes

Master Distiller Germán González Gorrochotegui suggests a wide glass that allows Tears to open up. Don’t rush into it. Let it breathe. Swirl it in the glass. And do choose your glassware carefully because this is an experience for all five senses: the deep amber, the lingering nose, the feel of the legs on the glass, the conversation that ensues, and of course, the unforgettable taste.

Aroma

Caramel custard, dried fruit, and dark chocolate

Taste

Agave with a heady spiciness and complexity for experienced palates

Finish

Described best as "a warm scarf on a cold day."

Swirl. Sip. Repeat.

Best Served Neat

Borrowing techniques from the world of fine cognacs and armagnacs, Tears is a complex sipping spirit best enjoyed neat at room temperature. As you sip your way through a snifter, the flavors evolve to give you a layered tasting experience.

Pairing Suggestions

Tears pairs beautifully with food and can hold its own alongside the rich flavors of red meat, bold seafood dishes, chocolate cake, and, of course, cigars.
