Single ranch tequila brand Lágrimas del Valle has launched its newest vintage, “La Sabina.” The Plata and Reposado expressions represent the fifth field harvested for the brand and the first to come from the state of Guanajuato, Mexico (La Romita).
Lágrimas del Valle is produced in collaboration with Tequila Cascahuin (NOM 1123) and current Master Distiller Salvador “Chava” Rosales Trejo, according to the brand. Their distilling tradition dates back three generations to 1904 in El Arenal, Jalisco, Mexico, in the heart of the “Valley” of Tequila.
“It’s remarkable that, for the first time, we’re truly tasting Tequila’s terroir—not just from Jalisco, which produces 95% of it, but also from Michoacán and now Guanajuato,” said Brandon Cummins, director of education for Altamar Brands, in a news release. “It’s something entirely new, yet rooted in centuries of tradition. What’s even more impressive is that this has been achieved without relying on any industrial shortcuts.”
The La Sabina Plata expression features notes of herbs, palo santo, chalk, guava and parsnip, according to the brand, while the Reposado expression features notes of toasted marshmallow, pumpkin pie and custard. Both tequilas are double distilled, blended and bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV) and are available throughout the U.S. and online for an SRP of $59.99 and $64.99, respectively.
