Hand-crafted from 100% blue agave grown in volcanic soil in the highlands of Jalisco, Tears of Llorona No. 3 Extra Añejo Tequila is one of the most complex spirits in the category. After a thorough distillation process, the tequila is aged for nearly five years in a variety of barrels including Sherry casks, ex-Scotch whiskey barrels, and French Limousin barrels previously used to mature Cognac. It's then blended and bottled in one-liter glass swing-top bottles.
Known for producing some of the best agave in Mexico, the La Alteña distillery in the highlands of Jalisco is celebrating its 80th anniversary. To mark the occasion, El Tesoro is releasing one of its most aged tequilas to date. Only eight casks of this unique batch were matured for eight years, and the bottles are being released exclusively in the United States.
Inspired by the jimadores who harvest agave, the packaging for the latest Patrón tequila was designed by Oscar-nominated director and writer Guillermo Del Toro. The incredible package contains a 750ml bottle of blended añejo tequilas from the Patrón distillery in Mexico along with a 100ml orange liqueur that is meant to be mixed with the tequila. The larger bottle is sculpted into a human torso shape, while the smaller vessel sits on top in the form of a skull. And to get the full experience, the box includes two votive candles to light during your next appropriately themed drinking session.
No, the recent demand for Rose Wines has not influenced the world of tequila. It just so happens that Codigo 1530 Rosa Tequila is rested in uncharred Napa Cabernet French White Oak barrels and takes on this natural rose color. The aging process also gives the spirit a subtle floral flavor that is a great option for a classic tequila cocktail like the margarita or to whip up a batch of Rose Sangria.
Añejo and Reposado tequilas are aged in wood and give the liquor a sweeter, milder flavor. But there's still something incredible about pure, unaged Blanco tequila. Distilled from 100% blue agave from the Jalisco highlands of Mexico, Casa Pujol 87 is an excellent example of a Blanco expression with classic tequila characteristics. And the clean, beautiful bottle design fits the brand's mission as well, designed by Monterrey, Mexico-based studio Anagrama.

When we heard George Clooney and his best buds had for years been drinking a private tequila which is now finally available to the rest of us, we rolled our eyes a little bit. But once we got past the celebrity backstory and actually tasted Casamigos Reposado Tequila ($50), it didn't matter much who signed the bottle — because it's just good. The agave nose leads to a smooth peppery taste with an easy finish. Try it neat or on the rocks. It's mild and laid-back, bringing to mind having a round with ol' Georgie boy himself.
