A tahona is a two-ton stone (Roca is Spanish for "rock") and it gently crushes rather than quickly shreds the agave.

Tasting Notes
"The sweet agave notes you found on the Silver Roca from Patrón are tamed here with a dash of cinnamon. The wood influence is such that you can still taste the agave, it hasn't been covered up. There is some slight slickness of vanilla on your palate with an ever so gentle hint of smoke from the barrel. The finish is bittersweet and you are left with just a mild tingling sensation on your gums."
