Lagrimas del Valle is a special project born from the iconic Tequila Siete Leguas distillery, home of the legendary Camarena family.

Lagrimas del Valle continues this legacy, focusing explicitly on the concept of "terroir" by producing vintage-style, single-estate tequilas. Each release is unique to the specific field, or "rancho," from which the agave was harvested, allowing connoisseurs to explore the subtle but distinct differences that soil and microclimate impart on the final spirit.
Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Pure Agave
The combination of single-estate agave and a higher proof creates a beautifully complex and vibrant flavor profile:
Nose: An explosive and aromatic bouquet of sweet cooked agave, with intense notes of black pepper, fresh mint, lime zest, and a distinct, earthy minerality.
Palate: A wonderfully rich and oily mouthfeel that coats the palate. A powerful wave of sweet, cooked agave is expertly balanced by a robust peppery spice and the bright, vegetal, and herbal character of the spirit.
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long, clean, and satisfying, with the sweet agave and peppery spice lingering in perfect, vibrant harmony.
