Show Notes

The second I nosed this tequila… I knew it was different.

The new 2026 Lágrimas del Valle “La Mesa del Charco” Plata might honestly be one of the most exciting blanco tequila releases of the year. This is the FIRST single estate release fully owned and farmed by the Rosales family of Cascahuín (NOM 1123), and you can immediately taste and smell the difference.

Using traditional brick ovens, a blend of tahona and roller mill extraction, and mixed fermentation with stainless steel and wood tanks with fibers, this tequila delivers incredible cooked agave, floral notes, minerality, citrus, pepper, and a subtle eucalyptus character that absolutely jumps out of the glass.

In this review, I break down:

Special thanks to Brandon Cummings from Altamar Brands for the interview and insight into this incredible project.
