Tasting Notes

• On the nose, it has a combination of candied lime, soft white flowers, and vegetal notes of bell pepper and cucumber skin, complemented by hints of nuts, soft pastry, lightly-charred wood, and minerality. The aroma is well-balanced and inviting, making it a great mezcal for those who appreciate the complexity of flavors.
• The flavor of the mezcal continues in the same vein, with grilled lemon and lime, sun-baked white flowers, bell peppers, persimmon, squash blossoms, charred oak, and minerals. The flavors are intricately balanced and offer a deliciously perplexing experience that hints at matcha tea and persists in a delicate fade that savors grilled fruit nuances.

The mezcal is made 100% from Tepeztate maguey grown at 4,800\’ in municipio of Sta. Catarina Minas, Oaxaca. The agave is halved and quartered (cogollo removed) and then earthen roasted for four days using a mix of guamchil and mesquite wood. The cooked maguey is then macerated with a proprietary blade spindle destrozadora shredder and fermented together with bagaso in 1,400L pine wood vats using airborne yeast strains. It is double distilled in ceramic pot stills to approximately 53% ABV and reduced with triple distilled demineralized water, with no tails. It is not aged and bottled at 46% ABV.
