Tasting Notes
Traditionally distilled in clay pots, this ancestral expression captures the essence of artisanal mezcal-making.
- The nose opens with delicate notes of sweet coconut candy, bright citrus, and rich earth.
- On the palate, a complex journey unfolds: sweet oils and subtle chili heat give way to the distinctive texture of green plantain, while gentle smoke weaves throughout.
- An astringent interlude bridges to a finale of vanilla, caramelized sugars, and roasted seeds fresh from the comal.
Each sip evokes memories of rain-slicked stone paths and forest walks, inviting contemplative appreciation.
This mezcal demands and rewards patient exploration, exemplifying the profound presence for which the Mexican agave is celebrated.
