Lágrimas del Valle Reposado Review — we’re diving deep into this Single Ranch, Single Vintage tequila from Rancho La Romita in Guanajuato, aged 3 months in ex-bourbon casks and bottled by Altamar Brands. In this video, I sit down with Brandon Cummins, Director of Education at Altamar, to explore how Lágrimas del Valle demonstrates that terroir truly exists in agave.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Cooked agave, caramelized pineapple, warm oak, and floral spice.
-
Taste: Creamy vanilla, pepper, honeyed agave, and minerality.
-
Finish: Long, elegant, with soft oak and lingering spice.
We’ll break down what makes this reposado so different — from the 1,760m elevation of Rancho La Romita to the 37% brix agave, and how its vintage approach captures a moment in the valley.
Watch till the end for my full rating and where I think this stands among the best reposados of 2025!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
