A mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, made from Espadin and Cuishe agave varieties that grow for 8 to 10 years before harvest. It is bottled at 40% vol in a 70cl bottle. The agaves are cooked in stone ovens and fermented in oak barrels, and the mezcal is double distilled in copper stills by Mezcalero Celso Ambrosio. The nose is lightly smoky, with herbal and mineral notes. The palate shows citrus and fruity notes, with a floral undertone. The finish is herb-led, short but intense.
