This 100% artisanal mezcal is handmade with pinas from Espadin agave and other varieties, ground and fermented in their own palenque in Santiago Matatlan, and distilled in copper by maestro mezcalero Oscar Hernandez Santiago. Their Karwinskii agaves are shredded mechanically, due to the toughness of their fibers, and then tahona-crushed afterwards. All other agave used at this palenque are crushed by horse-drawn tahona only. It has a slight smokiness and spiced from the beginning, followed by a fruity flavor and a mild astringency with a dry and spiced finish.
