Just purchased this, because of you and a couple of other channels. I really appreciate your time and energy fellas. Cheers!
Great video!! Keep them coming!,
This was a great session/review! Ended up causing me to go buy a bottle. Amazing tequila and fantastic change of pace!
Gracias!
Thank you for the amazing review! I tried tequila once (a cheap Aldi 'brand') and I never touched it again. Since I'm into cigars and like to try new things, this review made me order a bottle. Looking forward to it!
That's Mad Mad score in a Mad Mad World. Well done guys!
Love your videos! Can you do a comparison vid between Rey Sol Extra Anejo and the tears of llorona? Thanx for sharing awesome content. :-)
Bought a bottle because of this review!
what do u think of it?
How much
Same here 😆. I got it at Costco for $220 plus tax.
Great video, I want to try it now!
This was so awesome!
Outstanding! Cheers
Just ordered a bottle! Sooo excited to try this during the cold holidays by the fire! 😁
Yeah, I agree with everything said here. I'm 3/4ths the way through my bottle and need to get a backup. It is the best, and to go for something better would be way past the point of diminishing returns. Good thing is it is 1ltr and you can actually get it.
One of my favorite episodes to rewatch 😁
2 vids in 1 week?! Lets gooooo!!!
Just ordered a bottle, so excited! thanks for the great content fellas
Where do you order
I like finding little gems like Curiosity Public that haven't blown up yet.......shhhhh dont tell anybody. Good channel guys like the chemistry.
I just found a bottle today, because of this show I bought it. Thanks.
Have seen this on the shelf at a local store - been wondering if it is worth the price. Thanks for the video.
I watched another video y’all make for like top tequilas and i believe one of you said it was their favorite tequila so I was interested in it and looked it up couldn’t find none in Charlotte but definitely ordering online to have in the house
Bro Charlotte has a low diversity of tequilas
Best Tequila I ever had,... I mean, best Spirit I ever had. Congrats Mr. Gonzalez ;)
I just picked one up the other day. I agree with all reviews as it is an amazing Tequila. My wife prefers Fortaleza añejo but I think tears of llorona is it’s own category. A most delicious drink indeed. Salud!
Wow. A diamond!
Great video! Love the Ultimate Spirits Competition series. Actually found this bottle at a local store in Honolulu. Never thought I’d see it on island. Picked it up for about $280. Tasted okay on initial open. But better as it opened up. Looking forward to future sips!
$280 is also what I paid for it here in Minnesota. I’m with you on the flavor of the initial crack. I’m kinda on the fence. Gonna give it some time to open and then go back and reevaluate….
I'd love for you guys to do some blinds with this and other well made tequila products
Please do a review for Herradura Suprema, it is my favorite so far but I haven't tried Tears of LLorona yet.
Can some type down differences on the bottle based on the batches need to find the first batch.
OMG you guys!!! 🎉 thank you for the review. Sadly I’ve been calling all over Oklahoma and can’t find a bottle. 😢 but I will definitely keep searching. I grabbed a bottle of Don Pipocho and the gentleman at the spirits house told me to look into this one. I’m awesomely curious 😂

Great review. Personally I prefer my Tequila and Mezcal to be Blanco. I just like the agave flavor that makes Mezcal unique. When it gets aged too long the barrels take over. At that point I’d rather reach for a Bourbon or Scotch.
Agreed!
Just got my bottle and did a Curiosity Public score and gave it a 90 as well. Definitely worth the $200 price tag. Great recommendation guys. Keep up the great videos!
Awesome! Glad you liked it! We just got a bottle of the newest batch - it is a little different but still definitely an amazing product.
Got a signed batch 3. Very stoked!
Phenomenal juice! Scored it recently
I have the knot batch and the bottle really does open up and get better over time. It is a very unique and graceful tequila; I can practically smell it through this video. That being said, I have an extensive whiskey and agave spirits collection and don't feel I got enough utils to justify the price. I paid $210 shipped for my bottle. I really with this was priced $150 and the proof was higher ~92ish.
Great video! I’m new to your channel and this was the second video I’ve seen. The enthusiasm shown by each makes me want to go buy it! I also seen a video on what I believe is a relatively new tequila called Elevaso Extra Anejo that’s claiming to be as good, if not better than Tears of Llorona. Has the channel tris this tequila? I tried looking but didn’t see it. It would be great if you did and put it against Tears of Llorona or even the Tapatio Extra Anejo.
Welcome aboard! Haven't tried the Elevaso Extra Anejo - their website says it is additive free - which is good start! We are definitely planning to do some Extra Anejo comparisons in the future - stay tuned!
I just checked Elevaso on TequilaMatch and it’s only an 84/85 compared to 90/89 for Tears. And the red flags on Elevaso are that it is cooked in a high pressure autoclave (Tears is low pressure to more resemble a brick oven) and it is triple distilled, usually a no-no in good tequila.
Thanks guys. Your enthusiasm prompted me to get a bottle. Like I need ANOTHER spirit to sink my money into! It is quite good, but I don't know how to compare it. I am not traditionally a tequila guy. 2021 ... it is a new year and a new interest!
Cheers! It's actually a really hard one to compare to anything, let alone other tequila. A really unique tasting experience. Here's to 2021!
@@CuriosityPublic can you recommend a tequila to compare with Tears? Something equally impressive, or nearly so?
What happened to the 4th fella? Guy from Bakersfield? I was searching for you guys under the old name and couldn’t find any new vids. Glad I came across this 👍🏻
Same! I just found them again and looking forward to watching some of their videos I missed.
Amazing!!!!
I would love to see your scores for each category
I just walked into Costco today and what did my wandering eye see? Tears of LLorona Extra Anejo. Never seen it anywhere before and they had a whole rack of it at Costco!
Saw this video and had to try it. Just picked up a bottle. Can’t wait to crack it open.
Cheers! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
It's the fad-ish choice this past year or two. When we first tasted it at $69 a shot we almost sent it back. Harsh burning bite, reminded me of the college tequila days. We put it aside and had other high-end tequilas and had dinner. About an hour later we came back to it, after it breathed, and it tasted great. My only complaint is that it's too close to whiskey and whiskey isn't my fave spirit. I mentioned it to the tequila sommelier and he said it's because it's aged in whiskey barrels so it made sense. If you are a tequila aficionado, it's not a true representation of what Tequila should taste like.
Top 5 XA in the world . Hands downs .
Shit... now I have to buy a bottle! Thanks a lot! Have you guys reviewed The Botanist Gin yet? I keep seeing ads for it and I am curious(ity public) about it
Not yet!
I was sold until he said he could poor it on pancakes. That tells me it may be too sweet for my taste. Some tequila makers create “smoothness” by adding caramel or vanilla in high amounts which i am not a huge fan of. Some is ok. Asombroso extra añejo is my favorite añejo till this day. Im torn between buying this or not. Its gone up in price since this review and cant find it under $250. Can anyone attest to its sweetness? Or is it comparable to clase azul or familia flores? The flores extra añejo was too sweet for me almost sirupy. Thanks!
I just got one from Costco man this is heavenly
Review Flecha Azul Extra Añejo
The Tequila brings out Tyler Durden in me...which I may need for the coming end of times but
I'll stay with our native spirit.
This is a VERY good tequila! I'd love to see Gran Patron Burdeos enter your Ultimate Spirits Competition please.
I'm a huge scotch and bourbon guy. Thanks for the review in for 2 bottles. I believe this will be a nice transition.
Hey late comment but an owner of a liquor store was willing to sell one to me for $250. Is that a good deal?
Best tequila I’ve had to date. Love Chinaco, Fuentaseca and Tequila Ocho, but Tears is my #1.
Would be interested to know how you feel Tears of Llorona holds up to Rey Sol 20th Anniversary 10 Years Aged Old Town Tequila Special Edition Extra Anejo Tequila? Would love to watch a comparison video.
That would definitely be interesting to compare! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for supporting out channel!
This or G4?
Can you guys compare this to Fuentaseca 8 year which come in around the same price, maybe a bit more expensive? I’ve had responses saying the Fuenta 8 is wins.

At the end you mention that it should age a little bit on the shelf, how long?
This bottle had been open for over 6 months before we reviewed it.
I remember when I first opened it it was amazing but going back to it a couple weeks ago it tasted a bit plastic like I'm not sure if it was the black wax? Not sure if anyone else has experienced this
Never experienced that - but I have come across bottles with bad seals.
Where did you get the glassware?
These are Riedel brand tequila glasses. You can find them online at many different places including Amazon.
I see 4 bottles on the shelf today, $269, I will buy if still available tomorrow
This and other premium tequilas in a blind would be amazing
Picked up a bottle in Pasadena for $189.
Very interesting on the neck pour and I’ll be curious to see how it opens up. Also has a eagle on the sticker. Wax is as bad as Knob Creek. Still haven’t gotten it all off!
Which store did you get it at at that price ?
Mission Liquor - it’s pricier now.
That's odd my wax came off very easily.
I got a bottle during Sip Tequila's cyber Monday sale for $187 with free shipping (reg $250).
Had it last night!🤯
Have you guys been lucky enough to try El Tesoro 70th?
Got one haven’t opened.
Kinda scared to buy it… because of the horrific ghost story.
Is this show the “NEW” bourbon guild? I knew you all looked familiar!
What what tequilas have earned a diamond? Tears, is definitely a diamond
It's 250 in the Atl area. Can't pull the trigger yet being a bourbon guy. May stick to Cazcanes Anejo.
Thank your lucky stars you are American, for us here in Canada the price is $500 (if you can find it) instead of $200. Well here's yet another spirit I will never try...but then there's always Coors light (sarcasm there).
Just curious;).....What batch were you tasting ?
This was the "eagle" batch. (at least it looks like an eagle on the label)
@@CuriosityPublic I think the icon to look for is in the red part according to a video I saw with German. Mine has a knot. I believe this is version #6 and the most recent. The first version was blank with no icon in the red part. The 2nd was a star, the 3rd was a diamond, the 4th was a pineapple and the 5th was a clamshell.
@@markroiland4086 yes - that is correct - our earlier comment was incorrect! Thanks for pointing that out.
Ben?
The extra point needs more proof?? 🤣🤣
$200 or $300?
4/25/24 and just spent $300 plus tax on a bottle of this
This is now $300 at my local Costco. Is it worth that? I mean we are talking 2023 prices.
Ouch. That's a tough call. We may have to put together a special tasting to better answer this!
@@CuriosityPublic it appears this is also the ABC price in my state. ABC tends to charge MSRP, so I wonder if MSRP is significantly higher than it was in past years.
@@stevemillerecon interesting. I can still find it in California for $250. Looks like there is some discrepancy between markets.
“That’s sounds like a great Tequila!” But Two Hundred and ten dollars is too much money. Their are other good tasting Tequilas out there that cost less and are still sweet tasty Tequila for less money. You might as well buy a bottle of Cava de Ord Anejo Tequila if You’re going to spent some Money. Fortaleza Tequila Anejo is cheaper to buy and for my opinion is a better deal. But personally, I wouldn’t buy any Tequila over 75 dollars if only it was smooth or a sweet “sapping” Tequila.
$300 in NC 😭
I'm not usually a tequila fan, but will try a pour at a bar if I can find it.
$300 bottle today (12/23)
Just saw this at TW for $289.99 pass for now
$300 here in Maryland, want it bad lol
Tequila physically hurts me 🤢🤢🤢
That's what everyone who drank way too much cheap Tequila (Jose Cuervo) says. A 100% agave tequila will not make you sick. The good ones share a lot of characteristics with Bourbon but lean more towards citrus. Try Espolon or El Jimador- either the Anejo or the Resposado.
YoJimBo851610 Bad and cheap Tequila has additives that can mess you up. Up to 1% of the volume can be additives. Stick with quality brands such as Fortaleza
@@steveno7058 I couldn't tell ya if it was cheap tequila or not it was in a margarita and it burned a hole in the bottom of my stomach after 1 1/2lbs if fajitas.....
YoJimBo851610 Tequila in Margarita’s will almost always be the cheap stuff. Also Margaritas are loaded with sugar and chemicals. Try some quality Tequila neat and see what happens. Fortaleza and El Tesoro are quality stuff that is produce the traditional way.
@@CountHarryLime el jimador is trash mass produced tequila made with a diffuser. I’m sure that’ll make him just ass sick as Cuervo gold
1st
The white guy on the left has aged a LOY in 3 years. He looks great here, should cut back on all the booze lol
Poor on pancakes 🤮 Just decided its not for me.
I came to the realization that the little Asian does not really like tequila in it’s natural form.
I bought the bottle. Waste of money I regret it
Why
What??!!
@@robbreffah3560 the notes were so basic, and the taste was meh. I’d rather pour Fortaleza or cascahuin
