Cinco Sentidos (5 Sentidos) Espadn-Tobaziche Agave Spirit 750ml

5 Sentidos Espadn-Tobaziche Agave Spirit 750ml -This limited-release mezcal is a special spirit made by Mezcalero Tio Pedro Hernandez in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca. The mezcal was crafted using mature, cultivated maguey Tobaziche and Espadin agave, harvested at approximately 5,100 feet above sea level. This combination of agaves and the high altitude of the harvest location suggest a unique and complex flavor profile.

The agave was cooked in an underground conical oven with guamuchil and encino wood for five days, imparted a smoky flavor and aroma to the mezcal. After cooking, the agave was hand-mashed with oak mallets and fermented in one pine vat with well water for 13 days before being double distilled in 2 clay pot stills.
