Metiche Salmiana 40 Mezcal (75cl, 40%)

A mezcal made from 100% wild agave Salmiana matured 10 to 13 years in the San Luis Potosí Altiplano. It is tahona-milled, steam-cooked in stone ovens, naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts and double-distilled in copper stills by maestro mezcalero Juan Manuel Pérez Juárez. This 40% ABV expression is the gentler counterpart to the Salmiana 49, in a 750 ml bottle. It is herbal and green at a friendlier proof, mineral, resinous and lightly earthy, with unsmoked steam-cooked cleanliness and a smooth, easy finish.
