• After it’s use in his family’s mezcal production, spent agave fiber (bagasse) is re-milled by hand using a large wooden mallet
• Combined incrementally with spring water and refermented using only wild yeast
• Distilled once on a copper still (Artesanal) before 15 locally sourced botanicals are added in the second distillation
• Highlighted botanicals include juniper, hoja santa (Mexican pepperleaf), basil, cinnamon, guava, orange & lime peel, eucalyptus, lemon grass, and mint; all botanicals, including the juniper, are sourced within Tlacolula.
• Rested in glass for one year before bottling
• A bright nose of lime oil, green cardamom, and yellow bell pepper is underscored by earthy, sweet molasses and roasted agave pi±a. The waxy, verdant palate is replete with cilantro, coriander seed, and tarragon, with a lasting finish of orange peel and gooseberry.
