Distillation of Arroque±o in Oaxaca leans broadly in two directions: thick, sweet examples produced using traditional clay pots, and vegetal, buttery numbers produced using copper alembic stills. This inspired batch manages to strike both chords, walking a line between bright and earthyîwhich makes sense considering it was made in Miahuatl°n using clay pots rather than copper!
