Del Maguey Arroqueno Mezcal (75cl)

A limited edition mezcal made from giant semi-wild Arroqueno agave, dedicated to explorer Thor Heyerdahl. Arroqueno (Agave americana ssp. oaxacensis) is one of the largest cultivated agave varieties used in mezcal production. It is roasted in a conical pit, fermented for thirty days with only airborne microbes, and twice distilled very slowly in an ancient clay still with bamboo tubing. The edition is limited to 360 bottles. The nose shows luscious melon and cantaloupe with a subtle baking chocolate background. The palate brings cantaloupe, baking chocolate and vivid green bean vegetal character, with a savory medium-to-long finish.
