Amarás Americana Mezcal (70cl, 40%)

Amarás Americana is a mezcal made from 100% Agave Americana, produced in Tlacolula, Oaxaca. The agave grows for eight to ten years before harvest, and the mezcal is bottled at 40% ABV in a 0.7 litre bottle. The agave hearts are roasted in conical stone ovens with oak and pine wood, crushed with an Egyptian tahona mill, fermented naturally with wild yeasts in pine vats, and distilled in copper stills. The brand was founded in 2010 and sets ten new plants for every harvested agave. Its sweet, silky character combines with subtle smoke, fruit compote notes and a fine candy-like sweetness.
