Description

• Mezcal produced in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
• Maestro Mezcalero Gonzalo Martinez Sernas
• Made from 100% Madrecuishe (Agave karwinskii) matured between 8–18 years
• Cooked in conical earthen pit oven using pine and mesquite wood
• Milled using traditional horse-drawn stone tahona
• Fermented in Encino oak vats (tinas) using proprietary well water
• Distilled twice using copper pot stills
• Rested 9 months in glass
• A rich, full nose of red fruit, dried herbs, orange peel, and damp stone precedes spectacular balance on the palate; soft cantaloupe melon early on with fresh thyme bolstered by lemon verbena, jasmine, and a delicate bitterness reminiscent of dandelion greens
• 48% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

A classic example of the Madrecuishe maguey through the intensely specific lens of Mezcal Macurichos!
